“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

Same thing when Halo studios got shut. 6 years and all they had was "we want campaign, multi-player and forge to be avaliable day one" like that's some lofty goal

Being a Halo and Mass Effect fan in the modern day is a level of pain and frustration I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

As an adult, I kinda stopped caring about these type of things because these companies Always usually fail in the end

There is only three constants in the video game world that will always be true. Zelda, Pokemon and Mario. That is it. Those tree are the constant. Everything else is prone to disappear

But to me, mass effect died long ago. Exodus is the closest we got to a spiritual successor and was waiting for they more than mass effect 5.

Bioware died with Anthem

It is definitely best not to get attached to these things. Dev studios are like bands. They can only ship of theseus so far before the magic is just gone, and Bioware's been there for quite a long time now if we're being honest.

They got a better run than a lot of EA acquisitions managed. Bullfrog was parted out almost immediately.
