“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

It's unacceptable for a triple AAA company. If anything Bioware deserves this. Our only hope is someone else picking up the IP which will most likely never happen

Monkey paw curls.

EA sells Mass Effect to Ubisoft.

Now Mass Effect is a Far Cry from the game it once was!

They got made lmao

Say what you want about Ubisoft but they actually release games.

They might not be good games, but they get released lmao

Bioware on the other hand, has a release schedule of literal years, and the games that they do release, are bad lmao.

The bioware of 2026 is NOT the same bioware of dragon age origins and mass effect.

That Bioware shut down like a decade again

I'd rather Mass Effect die than get the Ubi treatment. Best case scenario a Larian or CDPR style studio gets a hold of the IP.

And BGE 2 is STILL in dev after decades.

Mass effect and halo fanbase going through the exact same purgatory😭

My two favourite IP’s. Why even live?

Genuinely the 2 most important video game franchises to me. I'm dying, not even metaphorically, I think the Mass Effect announcement genuinely just took years off my life

Yep. There are far worse things in gaming than getting the AC: Odyssey treatment.

We already got that with andromeda though and didn’t like it
