It is great to see how EA/BioWare is ignoring all of this instead of giving out a statement
Well, a commitment to DLCs and a schedule would be more than just a nice to have.
It is essential, EA!
I mean EA was criticized for their DLCs strategy: mostly good quality but rather short and expensive (in relation to the actual playing time).
Anyway DLCs are the cash cow, NOT the main games (always in perspective of production costs).
And not even the story DLCs (Citadel DLC, LotSB, etc) but the cosmetic and weapon DLCs. And if even those aren't announced yet ... if the cash cows are forfeited ...
If EA really avoids announcing the first DLC soon than ME:A is considered a failure by EA aka dead.
I paid much more for all the DLCs of the ME: trilogy than for the main games (and I bought ME:3 at about release) ... and I never regretted it.

Now that patch 1.07 , I mean: 'hotfix which changes the game version number to 1.07' is released, I still miss any commitment to a DLC. Now that the HUD is fixed, performance increased, why waiting?
I guess there will be another full patch, which maybe / maybe not is also referred to as 1.07 (or not), else the rephrasing from patch to hotfix would hardly make sense.
Wouldn't it be time to at least create a buzz in the community with well-placed rumors?
And am I the only person who expected ME:A to be the first of another ME trilogy?!

no, you are not. and once i knew that was not the case i'd hoped they'd reconsider. i'd hoped i didn't put nearly 600 hours into several ryders to have them simply become one-offs. that would not make me happy.

I suspect it depends on how well the DLC's sell.
