Discussion My biggest concern over BioWare

Will the consoles and I guess by some extent the pc folks. Still be able to use dragon age keep, connect to ea servers for dlc for the dragon age games and mass effect andromeda game. Not to mention I’m pretty sure on console we have to connect to an EA server for profile connection purposes for mass effect legendary collection.

Will all this still continue or did we lose access to them too?

The Keep was a big misstep imo. I shouldn’t have to use an outside source for my game to function as intended. If Inquisition ever gets remastered by an outside company they would need to implement it to the base game.

We truly don’t know at this point. I’m PC I’m sure people will come up with a work around for DA Keep. Consoles may be screwed though.

Jade Empire, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, are three franchises I care deeply about.

Our best bet is a fan made alternative when it eventually gets shutdown

No idea on servers and such at this time. There's a fan made mod for ME3 multiplayer on PC using MELE if interested in that. Otherwise we have to wait and see.

Honestly? At this point pirate the games and keep them safe on a hard drive. It's the safest way to preserve them

For PC, it doesn’t really matter as save files are on the PC. It matters more for console folk as the three games are across two consoles. That was what the Keep helped with. Right now, utilize the Keep and have the saves kept on the consoles so you can boot up from the beginning of the game each world state you want. For more info, see Ghil Dirthalen’s videos on YouTube

My guess would be that DLC that's purchased via console stores (like say Trespasser) will be accessible the way delisted games are. At least for some time.

But anything that requires an EA server, like The Keep, will probably be shutdown.
