EA's Patrick Soderlund thinks Mass Effect Andromeda criticism was a little unfair
He's right. Some of the criticism was fair some of it was not. How social media took off with the facial expressions certainly was out of control.
But here's the thing. Leaving the game for what it is and moving on without supporting it any further...now that's more than a little unfair.
Well, take the sales figures for ME:A in units sold across all platforms and write the number down, the number you have in front of you would be the number of people who will be affected by the decision not to provide any further patches or support once you throw the toys out of the pram.
Among them some very loyal Mass Effect fans, and also just a lot of sci fi fans.
Many will have forgiven the facial animations quite a bit.. many just got on with the game and actually really enjoyed it.. despite some of the other far more game breaking progression bugs that were discovered, or issues that meant loading a save game from 10+ hours ago was the only way to solve.... then there was people who no matter what they tried couldn't play the game at all for weeks on end due to other technical issues.
For the loyal fans and people who loved the game though.. the news while not entirely unexpected, has left a very VERY bitter aftertaste and we can't help but feel that its like they floated the product to see if it sailed.. and if it did not, they just pretend it didn't happen, and deny all association with it.. after all, we've got a brand new ship being built in the ship yards, those stupid customers will buy that when we launch it in 2018.. won't they?
