The thing is Bethesda is able to get away with it.
Comparing the first game to the fourth entry is a terrible exampleI just hate that this is the immediate response to criticism. Imagine if this had happened to CD Projekt Red after The Witcher 1.
I get that costs are involved, but Mass Effect isn't a soured name because of this. There are people that still respect the lore and the world and putting it "on ice" won't help the cause down the line. Didn't help Mirror's Edge.
Most likely. The "Andromeda" subseries name is tainted now.Is this another Dragon Age 2 scenario where they're gonna scrap the idea of these characters playing a major role across a trilogy?
I never played DA2 or DAI but I know Hawke was supposed to be the main character like Shepard was in Mass Effect.
Welp, sucks for those who lost their jobs but I'd be lying if I said I'm gonna miss the IP.
Ouch, game must not have done according to expectations.
Fallout 4 and Skyrim also sold tens of millions of copies.
Good call, let the franchise rest and put a real team on it when the time is right.
In a time when games like Witcher 3, Horizon and Zelda are coming. EA and Bioware really need to bring g their A game with a franchise like this.
I hope they are bearing this in mind for the next Dragon Age game.
Must purchase each remastered DLC separately
Not shocked.
I went from 100 to 0 regarding the series, I'm probably not alone.
Maybe we will get a Trilogy Remaster now.
Not surprised. As a gigantic Mass Effect fan I dropped Andromeda after 11 hours. Hope those who lost their jobs land on their feet

Fallout 4 and Skyrim didn't seem to do Bethesda any harm. Both were wildly more broken than Andromeda in terms of progression affecting bugs and both had far worse character animation.
I'm dreading what's going to happen to the next Dragon Age, it's (with Mass Effect prior to 3) the only franchise I really care about from them.
Turn based spinoff.
What that means for updates, support and shit which ME:A was supposed to have in the upcoming months?
Last month, a number of BioWare Montreal employees were transferred to the studio EA Motive, also based in Montreal, to work on Star Wars Battlefront II. Those remaining at BioWare Montreal will help support BioWare's other games including the new intellectual property, code-named Dylan, which we expect the company to announce at E3. BioWare Montreal will also continue to patch and support Andromeda's multiplayer.
Let's be honest here, Bioware is just as much to blame aswell as they were the developer. This is the developer/brand whom dared write and honestly thought ME3's ending was perfect and let this go out.EA running yet another accomplished studio into the ground. Why am I not surprised?
Still happening
Turn based spinoff.
It's crazy, despite my passion for Mass Effect, how little it matters in the context of EAs portfolio....
