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?

I imagine they put out those teasers so they could go back and tell the publishing execs "See? People are still excited about Mass Effect! There's still a market for it!"

Guess even that wasn't enough, though. An ignominious end for one of, if not the single most important studio in western RPG history.

Tbf, I feel like any excitement for a new Mass Effect game has always been tempered by a lot of skepticism. And given that these comments are filled with people saying that it probably would have been a disappointment, can you even really blame the execs for not being convinced?

The answer to this has never been no.
