In case you heard about the news about MEA canning the DLC, it's apparently a hoax. More info in the vid below... Good that Bioware brass finally said something. It's about time! https://www.yout...

Nice find indeed, though I see they're still harping on about Kotaku and making unsubstantiated claims about low sales.
So this thing was a hoax.
Kotaku has not given any real sources, so we can't know if they're telling the truth.
And as far as sales are concerned, well, I found this very interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/6b8vw1/no_spoilers_andromeda_sales_data_thread/
So when people say that they don't expect dlc because the game sales where terrible, maybe they are not on the ball with that.
Judge for yourself, but it seems that it's fair to estimate over 3 million copies have been sold and EA doesn't seem unhappy in spite of the bad reception in the media and of course the sales were hurt because of the release issues. Just saying it may not be quite as bad as people seem to want to think.
Just a shame it wasn't better.

heh Kotaku..
When I was playing Watchdogs 2 and a group of us formed a team to solve the Shuffler Mystery (discord Team_Shuffler), i was approached by a reporter for Kotaku and asked about that mystery. The questions and answers were all in text done by private messaging on Discord.. So you would think there is little chance to be misquoted right?
Wrong.
I couldn't believe how what i had typed had just been re-written and misquoted back then for the sake of them getting an early 'scoop' news report for what was considered 'breaking news' on Watchdogs 2' (for clarity it was only minor detail, and was still a great article nontheless, I was just a bit miffed that they had misquoted something I actually said)
So when i see Kotaku articles now, i take all of them with a pinch of salt, just as you should any news site. 🙂
@Skauron, I am not sure who you chatted with, but the new article is by Jason Schreier. I found his previous article on the development troubles at BioWare to be quite plausible.
Time will only tell.

Plausible is not the same as true. I also found the Kotaku article about the development hell of ME:A quite plausible, but without a shred of actual evidence or any official source, it's nothing more than an interesting take on what COULD have been going on. In the end though, I'm more interested in what is actually going on.

So many unconfirmed rumors all over the internet about the MEA and it's future, just have no idea which one is false, true which one is made up just to hurt Andromeda even more by some hater, EA/BioWare silince on this game in general is hurting it even more in my opinion, because if someone goes arround looking for MEA news in most cases they see false and unconfirmed rumors and most of this rumors are about EA/BioWare not supporting Andromeda and ME any more.
I just wish they'll make a step forward and be sincere with us, that they admit MEA problems and learning from their mistakes, but also that they will continue to support this game for the fans, comunity and ME franchise. I said it a lot of times and i wont stop repeating it, THIS IS MASS EFFECT whatever you liked it or not, whatever you accept it flaws but think it is still a good game or you just straight up hate it (for no reason in my opinion).
They need to realise that Anthem is already getting hate from people because they blame it for the unfinished MEA, some say they are waiting some time to say that there will not be any content for Andromeda so people will start to forget about it and it wont hurt Anthem, well if this is really the case (really hope it is not for their future project good) they are basically saying "F..K You fans of ME F..k ME (a game that for a lot of people means a lot) we don't care for fans, for this game anymore,,, but hey look we have a new game buy it"...... Well if this is true EA/BioWare let me tell you one think: We are not goldfishes, we wont forget how you treated ME.
When i started Andromeda i instantly felt like "home" i felt in the ME universe, with a good story (maybe not as good as the trilogy but this is still the firts game and seeing how it ended the next ME could be really awesome), good maps, really good ideas that unfortunatly weren't fully developed and most importantly for me (and i think for many Mass Effect players) great characters.
At this point don't really know what to say anymore, still here playing Andromeda in my free time, enjoying it and having a really good time. Hoping in the future to open the forum or fb page and see that BioWare announced a badass DLC for Andromeda that will shut up most of the so called haters arround and maybe in a few years to see the next amazing ME game with a lot of fans suggestions in it. As they say Hope is the last to die, for now still belive in BioWare.
