Long Live Mass Effect
This is directed towards anyone who thinks it's ok to kill Mass Effect or Dead Space...listen up...and listen good... because I am only going to say this once...you people at EA think killing off two great franchises...Dead Space and Mass Effect is going to make you any money... you are only digging your own graves... If you haven't been paying attention to social media, you should... because we have been gathering enough signatures on a petition to keep Mass Effect alive...even politicians are getting involved... you people buy other development and you run them into the ground...well, now it's your turn...gamers have decided to boycott any and all EA future games...until you bring back Dead Space and Mass Effect... your stocks will go down the toilet and your games are only good enough to wipe our rears.

We the fans want the Ip to continue on and are trying our best in hopes you all at EA will. We really don't want to see it be sitting not having anything being done.. The community is trying to offer solutions. We are trying to show you all at EA that this does not have to be the end of Mass effect. Bio ware we understand was not what it was years ago. https://www.change.org/p/savemasseffectBioware, EA, and Archetype
Before EA purchased Bioware the company focused heavily on obtaining and retaining the best in their fields to develop the Mass Effect franchise. EA's business and employment practices (as well as a lack of obsession & knowledge over the original trilogy) led to Andromeda's failure. Since then, Archetype Entertainment has come about with many of the original project leaders from Mass Effect. I don't care that you've decided to shut down Bioware. From a business perspective, it makes sense... But for the sake of the art and the people, I beg you to consider giving or selling Mass Effect, specifically, and possibly other Bioware original games prior to your purchase of it, back to Archetype Entertainment. Please?
Will you kill our beloved Mass Effect, or sell the IP?
Good tidings, I am a ME player since the 2010s who signed a petition by a fellow fan. I hope that you show mercy on this IP instead of doing what you always do when you shut down studios or give games as fate, like Titanfall for instance. I like most if not every N7 and Pathfinder want this IP to be alive and well, frankly, if you did decide to kill Mass Effect, we'd just resurrect it as a major middle finger to that choice if my calculation is correct. This IP has been more than a game to us, it has been there for us when reality brings nothing and we just want a sweet release into science-fiction at its absolute best, if it makes any sense to say that about a game that had more of a soul than other games from many developers and studios, even if BioWare started to be too politically challenged by going woke with Veilguard. You could've let them finish the last Mass Effect we were hyped for, even if it would've been a risk for you to keep BW going. The video a developer of the last thing we saw on Reddit and now on many ME related YouTube channels, were amazed at seeing the progress made and saddened knowing you took our hope away from seeing BioWare hopefully redeeming themselves from the **bleep**show that was Veilguard. If you decide to sell the ME IP, sell it to a good studio like Bethesda or CD Projekt Red, at least we all could sleep well knowing Mass Effect is in great hands, Who have experience with good storytelling in games like TES and Witcher. If you decide to keep it alive with one of your studios it might be a relief it stays with people who might know the lore well enough, but Keelah! Do not kill Mass Effect like you killed Titanfall and other games you've made. It deserves the life it has, rather than seeing what AI slop found its way into Battlefield and the amount of BS we have to pay for in the Sims, that doesn't really have a reason to cost the amount it is labeled after you made the Sims 4 free to play. Mass Effect deserves to still be a thing, we would be honored for it to not be doomed. I will gladly listen to an EA employee's opinion on the matter and their standpoint. This means a lot to all of us who got to enjoy every crewmember from Kaidan and Ash, to Javik and Tali in the original three. Vetra will always have a special place in my heart in Andromeda with her quotes or the Angaran people. There's so much you or possible buyers of the IP can do to make everything more interesting. For example Canonize that Rannoch ended with Legion making the Geth friendly with the Quarians and Tali survived that ordeal instead of one of the Rannoch endings where she leaps of a cliff and the Quarians on Rannoch removing their envirosuits to feel the air of their homeworld. Maybe more RPG elements such as the possibility to play as different species and humans with any playstyle you'd like. Quarian Biotics would be an example I enjoy thinking of, or Turian Engineers. It would be more interesting to see what concepts this could lead to and I know you EA employees did see progress on the Mass Effect you pulled the plug on and shut down BW instead of letting giving them this chance even if it'd be a risk. Gaming is built on taking risks, every developer knows that, every studio knows it very **bleep** well.Mass Effect 5
I'm just making a post here in the hopes it finds the right channels. With the news today of Bioware being closed down and next Mass Effect being cancelled I wanted to make a post to get the mass effect community behind me in the hopes we can try and save it. It is a game that has already been in development for quite some time so surely it can't be that far away from being able to release.
We cannot let Mass Effect and BioWare just disappear
Like so many of you, the devastating news about BioWare being shut down and the next Mass Effect game being canceled has been an absolute gut-punch. For years, the Mass Effect universe has been so much more than just a series of video games to this community. The trilogy and its characters helped many of us through incredibly difficult times in our lives. We have spent over half a decade holding onto the hope given to us by the teaser trailer, patiently waiting to see where the story would take us next. To pull the plug so abruptly feels like a complete disregard for the years of emotional investment and loyalty we have given to this franchise. Our community and the incredible developers who built these worlds deserved so much better. We cannot let a 30-year creative legacy be completely erased by short-term corporate calculations. If EA truly cares about its players, they need to listen to the fans who built their success. I am posting this to make our voices heard: we want EA to reconsider, or at the very least, let the IP go to someone who will actually care for it. Please comment, share, and sign the community petitions. Let's make sure they can't ignore how much this universe means to us. Keelah se'lai.Cancellation of Mass Effect 🤬
EA’s corporate greed has finally destroyed one of the greatest franchises in gaming history. The news that EA has cancelled the next Mass Effect and completely closed down BioWare is an absolute gut-punch. It is incredibly obvious that this decision was made just to line the pockets of big bosses and satisfy corporate greed at the expense of the developers and the fans. You gave us that teaser trailer back in 2020. It got so many of us incredibly excited for a follow-up to the story. We have been waiting patiently for six long years, holding onto that hope, only to be told out of nowhere, "Nah, you're not getting another one, we cancelled it". To pull the plug like this after stringing the community along for over half a decade is a total slap in the face. The original creators who brought us the magic of the original Mass Effect trilogy should have been left alone to do what they do best. Instead, we got constant executive interference and studio mismanagement from suit-wearing bosses who don't play these games and don't care about the art. It is exactly like a government deciding what is best for regular people when they themselves live in total luxury. You have absolutely no concept of how deeply this IP runs in our community, or how much we cherish these worlds. I have played through the entire original trilogy multiple times. I absolutely loved the overarching story, the cinematic movie-like cutscenes, and the deep, raw emotions that ran through the entire journey. These games weren't just products to us—they meant something. I have loved Mass Effect, but this is the final straw. From this moment on, I will not spend another single penny on an EA game. I refuse to be milked like a cash cow just so executives can fund their fancy houses and luxury cars. I know for a fact that I am not the only gamer who is completely sick and tired of corporate greed ruining the passion of this industry. Goodbye, BioWare. You deserved so much better than what EA did to you.
Closure of BioWare and Cancellation of Mass Effect Development
I am submitting a formal complaint regarding Electronic Arts' decision to close BioWare and cancel early development of the next Mass Effect project. BioWare is not simply another development team. For more than 30 years, its developers have created some of the most influential narrative-driven role-playing games in the industry. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur's Gate have helped define what games can accomplish through storytelling, meaningful player choice, worldbuilding, and memorable characters. I, for one, grew up playing Mass Effect, and I cannot to this day name a more impactful story. EA's decision to close this studio and terminate development of the next Mass Effect project is profoundly disappointing. It represents the loss of a creative institution and the work of talented developers whose contributions have shaped the experiences of millions of players. I am deeply dissatisfied with EA's decision to prioritize a narrower portfolio of projects over preserving this creative legacy. Players invest not only money, but also years of emotional investment and deep sense of community in these worlds and the people who create them. That relationship deserves more consideration than a calculation based on which projects offer the most lucrative short-term opportunities. I want this complaint formally recorded and escalated beyond frontline technical support. Please confirm whether this feedback will be forwarded to the appropriate corporate decision-makers. I also want EA to reconsider the closure, explore alternatives that preserve BioWare's creative talent and institutional knowledge, and provide a substantive explanation of how this decision aligns with its stated commitment to delivering exceptional experiences for players. A generic acknowledgment that difficult business decisions must be made is not a sufficient response to the concerns raised here. I am expressing my dissatisfaction as a customer who believes that the long-term value of creative talent, established franchises, and player trust should matter in EA's business decisions. Games represent a truly meaningful medium of art, and EA should work to bring forward the vision of the artists instead of squashing that creativity under its cooperate heel. At minimum, a licensing or selling of the IP to another firm who can continue the legacy of BioWare should be considered.
