Who owns Mass Effect is it Bioware, EA or the people?

In your opening remarks you said that EA rushes development etc.  Right at the very end maybe.  They did need a few more months and EA said no.  Push it out the door as is.  The real problem is who EA puts in charge and EA itself.  Name one single franchise that EA has taken the rights to that has gotten better or even stayed as good.  None.  Just like Mass Effect.

The biggest thing that is being missed in this whole debate on this game are not the bugs and poor animation people keep complaining about.  Multi-player and open world are not what makes a game a Mass Effect game.  Andromeda should be called only that.  Andromeda, loosely based on the Mass Effect universe.  It's lack of story, depth and ability to draw you in and make you care about the characters is where this game fails.  I finished this game with 107 hours simply because I am a completionist and did everything that wasn't broken or 100% put there with no thought except as filler.  It's just another OK game with a lot of spammed enemy AI over and over again at per-determined locations (like games we used to get ten and twenty years ago) and it's all because of who runs EA and who they put in charge of their subsidiaries once they have done enough damage to force out the original people.

Here's another example, EA bought the rights to NFL names and the NFL Players Association.  2K sports had a football game that last year they were allowed to use official names and it was many times better than Madden.  If EA had not been awarded said rights, we would have at least one decent football game to play.  Instead we have what is essentially the same game we had eight years ago which is essentially the same game from eight years before that.  Parts of that game are still being used from the original few years.  Mediocre.

EA is at fault for the state of Mass Effect and the fact that if they do not make serious improvement, they won't make another one, and this will be just another dead franchise that could have been.  I really don't think it matters.  With a story like this, and voice acting that is worse than the acting in most porno films.  The plot lines are so obvious and the whole story is just a rehash.  It's exactly the same as the trilogy with bigger worlds and a cheap story and characters who could have been killed off one by one and the majority of people wouldn't care..
