I managed my expectations on a new mass effect game. Of course I wanted to be back in the world.
But this still really hurts to hear. Wish something could have happened to help them. Not sure if dragon ages poor performance quickened this result.
On another note, I wish studios would stop announcing games before they have something concrete. What was the point of that teaser all those years ago if they are still considering it early development today?
It's going to be forgotten now but that ME4 trailer was the last thing played at that Games Awards. That's huge, and goes to show the goodwill this series had even before the Legendary Edition came in and got a whole lot more people into it.
Unless this Amazon show that'll probably never be made interferes with the rights (God, it's like 1990s Doctor Who all over again), I do think the IP will be snapped up for that reason. The trilogy has cachet, and not just amongst us lot who've played it ten times.
I mean, we gotta hope EA's new management are willing to licence out or sell off IPs. The problem with EA for the last 25-ish years has been that, even when they stop using an IP, they generally refuse to licence it out or sell it off, and rarely even use it again with an EA studio (usually only in a one-off mobile game, if at all). The legendary "EA Vault" people sometimes refer to where the IPs all go to be hoarded for no reason.
But maybe the sheer greed of the new owners will change that?
