Crazy such a popular and great IP is so easily thrown in the bin like that when it has so much potential still. It should be printing money and success. It's too good to be wasted.

Sucks to hear when going through the trilogy for my 3rd time too.

That’s what’s confusing me? People are saying EA would never bother with it but why are they so certain? It’s a game with a built in fanbase. It’s virtually guaranteed to sell a good number of copies. Isn’t that better than taking a chance on a completely untested new game?

Almost by definition Mass Effect has to be a AAA game. In the 2010s that cost a few tens of millions. Today it's $200m and they have to pick and choose where to invest. There's a reason why so many AAA studios are failing to make profit

Yeesh. Well I’m no expert but hard for me to believe that there’s dozens of games yearly being that kind of budget but if that’s true then wow, crazy. That’s like a budget given to an A-list director known for churning out blockbusters.

Hopefully that game Osiris Reborn or whatever it’s called, which I think is being made by an indie developer, shows that good sci fi shooters can be made without breaking the bank
