NEWS Its official, Saudi-led group bought EA...

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...

So basically single-players are screwed. Yeah, I'm not playing the next ME if they make something like Anthem.

The reason you shouldn't play it or buy it is to not support the Saudis and Kushner.

I know. Mass Effect fans are happy to enable genocides as long as they can wank to their space aliens.
