From Wikpedia:
On December 19, 2013, EA was hit with a class action lawsuit over the bugs in the Battlefield 4 DLC. EA issued a statement regarding the various issues and bugs of the game and promised players that these issues would be fixed before the launch of the next generation consoles. This was not the case as players on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One had the same problems. The problems were so severe that they made certain parts of the game unplayable due to campaign save files being corrupted and players being unable to start or join multiplayer servers. Players expressed their outrage on the forums of Battlelog, EA Answers HQ and social news sites such as Reddit.[101] EA DICE responded by apologizing for the bugs and promising that they would halt all production of the release of new DLC packages until they fixed the various problems.
I am now afraid EA has committed gaming suicide.
I or us players have never received any statements regarding bugs in Andromeda. The sound bug is a major problem, seems to be Frostbite engine wide. In the Origin survey from some time back, I stated that players were unhappy with some of the bugs in ME3. That we were not inclined to buy Andromeda right away. Well, we did. Dedicated Mass Effect players. Now what......
This fix it on the go or patch it on the go has to stop. We all understand that there will be some bugs in a new release, this was beyond that. There needs to be more pregame testing by the public. I would be willing to sign a gag order or nondisclosure order for pregame testing. I would have been willing to wait a year or longer to avoid this heartbreaking mess. I would think that EA would have learned from the past.
. With that said, the performance of the game has improved a lot from the first patch. The new maps are great. There is a lot more that can be done.
I have loved some of the titles and franchises over the years Medal of Honor, Crysis , Dead Space and so on. I hope I can enjoy new ones in the future.
So, it finally happened as every sane person here has expected and expressed for months: EA killed its own IP, Mass Effect (Andromeda).
Thanks for spitting in the face of the customers.
How can one fail so utterly with one of the greatest IPs of recent time?
