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.
I don't hate it, I am still having fun with the single player game, I think I am on my third play-through.
But I do hate the obsession with Multi player. I have no interest in "Ping is King game Play".
I play single player, and that is what I enjoyed about DAO, DA awakening, DA2, DAI, ME, ME2, ME3 ( not so much ME3 ), and ME Andromeda. They give me my personal fantasy.
I just wish they would continue to do what they once did really well, give use great story's, and a wonderful personal fantasy that we can shape, as we go, for better or worse.
DAO had for me the most diverse choice system of any of there games, I still really enjoy that one. MY choice in character made a major difference in the start of the game, and because of the different treatment, of Elf, Noble, and slave cast, as well as choices in Race. It was and amazing experience.
I would really like to have more Bioware magic like that in DAO.
But mainly I just want the Really good single player games.
Let Doom, and The rip off artists of Blizzard, and others like them, do the "Ping is King game Play" thing.
They make a lot of money with multiplayer purchases. If that helps finance the single player campaign, I'm all for it.
Personally, I think we should contact Bioware and tell to give us a expansion (Aquarian Arc, who kill the founder, and who is the benefactor)

@SaintHedgehog BioWare Montreal doesn't exist anymore. They have merged with Motive Studios and are working on Star Wars: Battlefront II.

If...
I'm sure they made enough from their game sales to pay back the investment and then some. Of course they don't mind making more money off it but in the end there is nothing SP coming out anymore, so I don't see how your scenario makes any sense. They effectively closed the door on that and MP is the only part that still gets attention as they indicated.
So all this is going to pay for is the EAware profit margin, nothing more. Mind you, that's fair enough if people are willing to pay for that, but let's not have any illusions about it financing the SP side.

I meant in general: future games, and not necessarily just Mass Effect. It's easier to justify spending money on developing a single player campaign if they can predict a steady income stream from multiplayer microtransactions, especially if there's some connection between the SP and MP component.
