True in some aspects, but consider that Bioware would have to expend time and effort port it over and support it in addition to the normal ME3 multiplayer unless they also coded in some kind of cross play to original ME3 MP. But if Bioware devs don't really like MP, and were annoyed to have to create it in the first place simply because some EA exec decided it had to be there, then they may just not want to put in that effort again. Do I have any inside info....no, but it kinda seems that Bioware is ok with the still running ME3 multiplayer, MEA multiplayer and have no desire to add another MP to the list. Is any of my conjecture true??? No clue, but it was posted in an interview with about EA's change in focus with respect to their studios, and then Bioware decided to NOT put in the time to upgrade ME3 MP....
Personally, I think allowing all of EA's studios to decide what type of game and focus they want to develop is a great idea. I honestly don't even know if it will bear out as truth and continued policy, but I can hope.
If you love playing ME3 MP, then likely You Already Have Access To It.....so why should Bioware spend time and effort to port over(as is un-upgraded) something that you already have access too?? I don't know if Bioware likes or dislikes MP....but it seems to me that they really aren't all that fond of it, and would rather spend time on stuff they do like and are interested in working on, such as the Next Dragon Age, or the Next Mass Effect. If you don't have access to it now....trust me, there are plenty of better MP games out there.
If you are talking about also having upgraded graphics and such too, then likely they would also have to spend time on making sure it all works right....which for whatever reason they don't seem to want to spend. Also unless they also changed OEME3, then there would be no cross edition play, thus all unlocks would likely be lost on the new MELE MP. If they did upgrade OEME3 MP to allow both editions to play together and maybe keep unlocks and XP, then they would then have to spend double the time to port it over upgraded. Personally, ME:Andromeda is better MP and gameplay, but I don't play it MP anymore either as I got tired of it after a month or two. I will occasionally drop into a MEA MP game sometimes, but will never do the same on ME3.
I do understand your desire, I just think Bioware doesn't really want to fuss with MP and are basically happy to be able to wash their hands of it and not have to deal with it anymore. From what I have heard they are now able to scrap the online component of the next DA, and that may make them have to redo a large part of the game mechanics and world, which could also be why they don't want to spend extra time on LEME because they are all hands on deck to fix the next DA, and exploring stuff for the next ME.
Speaking of Anthem.....I think it speaks volumes that they cut and ran from it so quickly after the so called change in EA direction about Multi-player in every game.
