Sad day to be a Mass Effect fan

Between the Pokemon bank shutdown, Halo moving to activision, and BioWare closing, this meme has encapsulated me for the last 2 months

I'm fine with Halo moving to Activision. Halo studios had their chance multiple times and there are plenty of super talented FPS devs at Activision that are just waiting to get off COD support duty.

Likewise, BioWare has been a corpse of its former self walking around for a very long time now. Everything ends.

Dream scenario is if Arcanaut gets the keys to Mass Effect after Fate of The Old Republic.

Dream scenario really is the spiritual successor type games being good. We need more titles like Greedfall where other studios try the Bioware formula. Im willing to give up the ME ip to get away from EA

The new Expanse game might scratch that itch.

Yep, or that original sci fi rpg coming out, I forget the name. Osiris maybe?

Man I wish that studios would ever just sell the rights to shit, but knowing them, they'll just hold onto everything Bioware ever made and never let anyone do a single thing in any of their beloved universes ever again

“Find what you’re looking for amongst the dead?”

The bitter thing about Bioware is it sounds like they still had good talent that wanted to do right by the legacy of the company and make good rpgs but the studio heads kept getting in the way.

It all spawns from the terrible Mass Effect 3 ending and Andromedas disaster immediately after imo.

I blame Anthem.

ME3 ending is the little domino that lead to the middle sized domino of Anthem that lead to the big sized domino of Veilguard and that's what crashed through the door and let the wolves in to tear Bioware to pieces.
