EA's Patrick Soderlund thinks Mass Effect Andromeda criticism was a little unfair
Whether or not Mass Effect will be back is not the thing that has been eating away at me since reading 'the news' about ME:A.. it is how quickly and easily they chose to pretty much walk away from it and at the same time.. ram all the whizzbang stuff about 'Anthem' down our necks at the same time. One of the things i really notice about the early anthem video was that there is a large creature in it that looks almost identical to the 'fiend'.
I am in a sense grieving in a strange way, but not because of loss.. its different, i feel really let down by the whole drop it and F* it approach that i've seen happen now, and 5 months after release, i felt it had so much more potential.
When i put my faith into a product, i don't expect to see it assassinated by its own creator, there is too many good people really into mass effect to have had this happen and its really affected the way i now perceive the parent publisher too.
So its not the death of something that i grieve for, i think i just witnessed a murder.
