That's what I'm worried about. I played the Mass Effect Trilogy several times and they're my all times favourite.

But this Saudi Arabia deal is not good for the industry because as we know, Saudi Arabia is a very conservative muslim country and it will destroy the creative process.

The funny thing is Mass Effect destroyed the series themselves with Andromeda. No Saudi help necessary.

That game was such a bleached out, thin piece of repetitive garbage. Every character, and their dialogue, was about as deep as a guard NPC in Skyrim.

Season 8 of GoT had better production value.

But everyone was hoping the next Mass Effect game would return to its sources, not continue the "My face is tired" series. But I was hoping too much.

ME manages to incorporate just about every SciFi trope in a good way, have punchy dialogue and characters, offer chills at some points, and have a great overarching plot. More importantly, they give it an ending.

BioWare really fucked themselves with that EA deal. I don’t see them saving themselves like Amplitude did. I suppose there’s DDO, it’s still around, love of D&D being what it is within D&D communities The devs made a deal with Warner Brothers and now it’s Standing Stone, but how often has that happened? Mostly, studios just die.
