NEWS EA's Garbage Statement on the Closure

https://www.ea.com/news/building-eas-next-chapter

TL;DR

They're laying people off and canceling projects, and they're up their own ass about it

Someone please tell me mass effect isn’t gone forever. Another publisher or studio can pick it up right?

This is my favorite gaming franchise of all time we are talking about here😞.

EA has in the past hoarded dead IPs like a dragon. But they have new owners right now and a massive debt thanks to the leveraged buyout. They may be looking for ways to make money right now rather than holding onto an IP in case there's a chance to make money from it later.

It's remotely possible, but I definitely wouldn't place any money on it or get even a little hope up about it.

But back then they didn`t have 50 bilion debt.
