I think EA wasn't expecting it's Original Mass Effect player base to hate on MEA as hard as they did, along with how unpolished they made MEA compared to the original trilogy by making it the game more open world. While yes this could be a terrible move by the corporation we still have hope that the hype and love of the Mass effect Movie could revitalize the Mass Effect Project.

The movie has been in development hell for years and I think they were expecting Mass Effect Andromeda to be such a success that the movie's production would get back on track. The Mass Effect series is not currently in the best position, so it seems to risky to finance a big budget movie now.
I dont think EA are in that good a position, let alone the Mass Effect Franchise. Star Wars Battlefront series definitely makes money, but people dont like the pay to win aspect of it, and thats a competitive market. Anthem is delayed and that might be down to them wanting to get it right, or feeling that the stink about MEA is going to hit sales. There seems to be a magic 93%, in that if a game goes out of favour it loses 93% of its players. I think MEA has hit that, or is close to it. Those are the players that look for good games and have the money to invest in them. Destiny 2, with the preorder and season pass is around $200 and people are queuing up for it. I personally dont like it, having checked out some youtube on it, but a lot of people do and one of the main sites that rubbished MEA's facial animations is fawning over it. Chances of a MEA movie are low, game to movie adaptations are historically bad performers at the box office.
