Have Bioware's recent actions changed your mind?

Before checking I hadn't realised that this was actually a thing... 

I still think BioWare closing their forums was a really stupid move, and suspect it will bite them in the ass later on, but I'm still excited for MEA. I will be paying close attention to previews. I'm more concerned about multiplayer not being as good as it was in ME3 but I'm sure once they start showing off the amazing maps I will be suffiently dazzled.

...and OP's "racist" claims are bullshit drama.

There's a lot I don't like about ME3 even without the endings but it was the decision to drop the old consoles mid dlc cycle that really made me reluctant to give Bioware anymore of my money, their shenanigans since just reinforced that reluctance.

I'm taking a wait and see approach, I'll look at the reviews post release and somewhere between journalist over hype and fans complaining I'll hopful be able to tell if this is a game I want to play. Then I'll buy it second hand. I can't avoid paying BW for dlcs but I can pay someone else for the main game.

It's petty but it's all I've got.

Not really. Whatever happens, I expect a character focused game where you'll have decent interactions and characterizations of your crew members, a la DA:I at least. I feel like this is what BioWare is good at, characters and dialogue with said characters. At this point, I don't much care about any story or lore beyond that.

ME2 was my first experience with the ME universe. For me (and i haven't played ME1) ME2 is a bit better than ME3 if only for the robust characters and the time they took to brilliantly craft each one. One thing both games did amazingly well was character interaction and the sense of dread and urgency to stop the collectors and reapers was just really done well. I was worried about the decisions I was making in ME2 because i didn't want ANYBODY to die, that is a sign of great character design and individuality.

ME3 had this urgent and sense of dread as well, but it seemed like it was trimmed a bit in terms of exploration and character building, still it was a great experience and the climax, the buildup to the end was great, even when you prepared yourself fully, (your allies, galaxy preparedness etc) The reapers still gave you that sense that they was STILL going to win, that sense of desperation and dread was felt all the way to the end.

All that being said, i wasn't that disappointed with the endings in ME3. Would I have liked a more traditional ending and some sort of absolute ending? sure, but what Bioware gave us was something that i felt none of us was expecting. So I feel that they have read our feedback from that fisaco, wrapped up that storyline and are going to give us a solid game in Andromeda. I'm a bit clueless as to all of the political racist stuff going on behind the scenes, but i'm sure Bioware will deliver a solid product.

I know, right? Crocs? Ugh.

I would say basically this, in essence, but yeah... the problem is at one point does something kind of take so many hits before it just goes down? 

I'm pissed with Bioware, the forum closure ended up opening my eyes (even more). Closing the place we used as a friend's gathering, and giving stupid excuses as the why. Instead of rebuilding the fanbase trust, they shitted all over it.
Not preordering Andromeda. And if I ever end up buying it, it will be only because of the multiplayer and probably will buy it from some shady site like G2A. With some luck it'll be a stolen key or something and they wont get a single penny from me.

After I heard for the first time the develepment of a new ME is ongoing, a pre order was without a question. But recently I have some serious doubts about pre ordering. Lackluster E3 presentation, termination of BSN and a no show at gamescom.
But if I know me well, that will change the second we see actual gameplay footage info.

I'm buying it regardless of all the news and drama surrounding Bioware and Mass Effect. The bottom line for me is that Bioware makes the type of RPG that I want to play. Nothing else in the market satisfies the itch the way they do. I've been disappointed by offerings in the past but not enough to stop buying. I've played the piss out of every game they've released since Mass Effect 1 (with ME3 as the exception). I've played through DA:I at least nine times and enjoyed it every time. I don't agree with all of their politics and political correctness but I can put that aside and just enjoy the worlds they've created.

To each their own but Bioware games remain Day One purchases for me.

Oh Xen, you always come up with the greatest arguments and I agree with you on all three points.

Let the asshat be an asshat, as long as he doesn't bring his asshatness to the game, he can call for the genocide of white people for all I care. I wipe my hands of his idiocy and I'll just judge his work instead.

Still buying my copy used though.
