Right... So it has happened. Mass Effect Andromeda is officially dead. No DLC's, no more updates. https://www.masseffect.com/news/mass-effect-andromeda-update-from-the-studio Any thoughts my fellow...
Forum Discussion
I have been a Bioware fan since Baldur's Gate came out in 1998. I have preordered every game and bought all DLC's. I will never do so again. Andromeda had potential and as part of the Mass Effect franchise was apart of something special. So I spent my 100 bucks and I got taken to the cleaners. I can't say I'll never play another Bioware/EA game again, but I will wait until I can buy the steam code on ebay for 10 bucks. They lost a hard fan over they way they've unrolled this game and handled the aftermath.

I will never understand why people preorder at all in the age of digital downloads with endless supply. Seems like an expensive gamble to me.
Pre-orders are at times even with a digital download beneficial in one of two ways... on some game releases you get to play a day or more early because you pre-ordered, in others you get pre-order bonus items. Just depends on the product.
In Mass effect andromeda, the pre-order standard bonuses were: the Deep Space Explorer armor set (which grants encounter bonus XP and weapon dmg), a unique Nomad skin, and five 50% XP boosters for multiplayer.
Anything above that was the deluxe and super deluxe bonuses i think?
The XP bonuses of the deep space explorer armour was very useful as it meant you could get the game finished before they pull the plug on the IP. Quite possibly the best reason for using it.
Oh. My. God! Ofc they offer petty * like that, because there are always players who are suckers enough. Can't you see that you are supporting this cancer? They don't have to polish their products, they just offer "cheats" to those who are gullible enough to preorder for something they have no idea what they get.. for what.. one or 2 days early access.. Jesus! There is NO reason, NO REASON what so ever EVER to preorder! Oh humanity.
- besides what @Skauron said... for me preorder is like a vote of confidence on the developers...
I've preordered multiple games... besides me2 and 3 where in both cases i've preordered a phisical box with a lot of extras and Diablo 3 (which the collector box was spectacular but the game was a total dissapointment), I must say that the best preorder was Dreamfall Chapters, because I felt it like a rel vote of confidence of a small emerging studio and they delivered a great game...@SycrJohnnyvote of confidence? Is it not enough that you pay for it IF it's worth your money? You can even send them a kind letter via snailmail or e-mail. But don't feed this *! What about the next "big" thing, p2w in SP games like Shadow of war? Thats ok too? No need to buy the "cheats"? Guess what. Whole game is designed with that system in it, so it effects every single player who plays it. Don't let that * spread in our games.
Instead support companys like CDPR and talk about their awesome games. Don't pre-order them either, but let everyone know how awesome their games AND DLC practise are.
