I'm just pissed off about Mass Effect. Andromeda had really good moment to moment gameplay with totally forgettable characters and setting, and I was cautiously optimistic for ME4 and now we'll never get it. Feels like the games industry is collapsing before our very eyes with closure after closure and mass layoffs across the board.

Because it is. The AAA mega game industry is at least. They've been spending like crazy, chasing ever larger paydays, inflating projects that take years and years to make, trying to maintain an audience that isn't quarantined at home anymore. Everything is designed by committee, with consultants walking in and out of projects soaking up even more money, and nobody has any real ownership of any part of the process.
