I honestly fear for the open-minded future of our franchise. Mass Effect was a big part of my life, and I loved that it tackled topics that might be controversial in its own way. It was never in your face, but subtle enough to be believable... especially with the choice of a badass female Shepard.

Let's hope they don't meddle too much, too quickly...

That doesn't affect the actual games, especially the niche ones. They invest for the money and that comes primary from the sports games from EA. ME franchise is niche against that. They are only interested in money the sales of the game make. That's why the investments are for: business, and just business.

No need to panic people.
