“Early development” on mass effect is wild to say for a game they announced 6 years ago. Absolutely ridiculous that in 6 years they never made progress on the game. Utterly insane.

Ya know what, I’m not even mad. Fuck it. Hopefully ea and its new owners sell off IP to get some cash back and someone who gives a damn can make the next game

People have been waiting for EA to sell unused IP for like two decades.

Yeah Medal of Honor, SimCity, Dead Space. Add Mass Effect to the mass grave. RIP.

You would think that with Hollywood gearing up for COD and Battlefield movies EA would take another stab at Medal of Honor

I think they're just happy with sticking to Battlefield as their military FPS IP. Why invest in MoH when it would just steal sales from their own game? And why sell that famous IP to another publisher when it would also be used make a Battlefield competitor?

At least there's still lots of options for military shooters even if it would be nice to have a new MoH game. Other IPs like Mass Effect, Dead Space, or SimCity have fewer direct alternatives.
