We knew this was bound to happen, so sad we might never see another ME game. But to be honest it’s probably for the best. They would never live up to the original trilogy. At least we got the LE for its final send off.

its weird to me because i swear i feel like mass effect could generate a lot of money if they took their time on it. but thats what i think is wrong with the gaming industry barely anyone wants to take the time to make a good game and rather make a quick buck.

They either want a quick buck or the next Fortnight or GTA that they can milk for billions.

There's no interest at the "AAA" studios in making games that are just a brilliant single player game.

Which is a shame because while there has been some truly wonderful multiplayer games the single player rpgs are just more immersion and world building and id hate to lose that

Except Zero company, BG3, Jedi survivor, Cyberpunk 2077, Rogue Trader, the list could go on. There's billions to be made.

AAA single player games undoubtedly make money, but it's nowhere near what a successfully F2P multiplayer title generates in a single year, and those do it every year, not just once.

They are chasing a golden goose. Trouble is, most of them can't run.

There's also only a limited market for such games. You either have the golden goose, or you're one of the dozens of failed attempts to grab it.

Yep. They are chasing a golden goose that is so full it can’t eat anymore.

Don't forget KCD1 and KCD2. Both brilliant.

I wouldn’t use GTA as a good example of the next thing that studios want, considering they’re famously time consuming to make and “we got _ before GTA6” is a meme format onto itself.

Exactly. The downfall is inevitable once these companies get such large corporate oversight. I cannot think of a single one that succeeded after being absorbed by some soulless entity like EA. Bungie, Blizzard, Bioware, Bethesda, all of it's the same story. The "We let them do their own thing" is absolute bullshit, and always has been.

ES6 is gonna suck too, and then we'll watch Bethesda call it quits.

Bioware was barely AAA at it's end after andromeda, anthem and veilguard

•

u/Cooky1993 5h ago

Which is why EA is killing it off

u/LeBaus7 6h ago

GTA will even be released as a full single player game. multiplayer is not coming out this year.

CDPR is our last hope.

Warhorse! KOTOR, Dragon Age (1,Inqusition, Veilguard, 2), Mass Effect LE and Kingdom Come Deliverance 1&2. Those are my favorite games all time. Still need to play CDPR games and BG3.
