Just read this on Kotaku

That's how I'm understanding it (due to specific mention of follow-through on what was promised). Bug fixes and MP support, no story DLC. I really had high hopes for this game.
I'd consider it perfect if planet scanning had hidden missions to discover like the original trilogy and if there was more voice work added for the crew to make them more interesting/emotionally compelling and maybe a few "changes" to Ryder's lines here and there. Could have it all fixed by end of summer. ☹️
To quote Nakmor Kesh: "Situation's gone to sh*t, pretty much sums it up".
I'm not concerned about the DLCs. Not unless they put it out officially, in our face, that "we're done."
"--you're keeping the lights on. You have my vote."
They seem committed to put it right.
Safe to say I am very disappointed that it appears as if there wont be any dlc for Andromeda.
Too much left undone for the Ryders (Mum, Quarrian Ark etc). So now we have to look forward to it forever being incomplete? :/
I hope rescuing the quarian ark is the first dlc ... :D
ME3 was released in march 6, 2012
Post-launch story DLCs:
Extended Cut: late june 2012
Leviathan: late august 2012
Omega: late november 2012
Less than two months have passed since MEA launch, folks, patience 😇

Yes but if you read twitter posts it looks like the only MEA support remaining is to fix what they comitted to and on going MP support and thats it.
I hope you're right. It's a bit of a rocky start, but I'm ok with that. Launch week of WoW sucked back in the day, it gets fixed and doesn't really bother me. I just want more story! So many loose ends they can let us solve.
And yes for the Quarian Arc. I was all planning to go find Tali's sister or something. :P

Every other ME game they clearly stated there would be dlc and support for 12 months.
The fact that they haven't said this for andromeda but have said no dlc is planned, speaks volumes.
Mass Effects done. This is it. There is a skeleton crew working on the last patches and thats all. Everyone else has been moved to the new IP. This wasn't just a small downsize as is normal for post game release - this is a massive its all over downsizing. EA is systematically killing off bioware. This is what they do. Take over companies, make money in them then ditch them.
Bubye ME ☹️ you were awesome while you lasted. I won't be touching the new IP. Not after they ditched MEA as a half finished, incomplete story / game. They get away with it once they'll keep doing it.

I agree, this game just came out a couple months ago and is already abandoned. I'll be damned if I consider another EA or Bioware title in the future knowing they just abandon games if they don't get the exact reaction they want upon game release.
I really like Andromeda, I think they did a good job overall, but the fact that they just totally gave up does not encourage me to consider future titles by this studio.

Same ☹️.
It very much feels like a they have taken all our money and ran away with it this time, they waited until its too late to get a refund to tell us. So now we are left with an incomplete story and all we can look forward to is it being a slightly more polished incomplete story.
Im done with EA. No more money from me.
Gunna cancel my SWTOR subscription before it comes up again. They aren't getting another cent from me until they rectify this. They need to put some of our $$ back into Andromeda and at least finish off the Quarrian Ark and Mum cure storyline for Ryder. No story finish, no more money from me. Ever. Was never that into dragon age anyhow so wont bother me not buying the next one. As for the new IP, can't miss what Ive never played but I can say no to risking this kind of thing happening to me again. I love ME. I don't want to risk going through it again with something else.
