EA execs: “Dragon Age: The Veilguard would have sold better if it was even worse.”
They can do whatever they want with Mass Effect, far as I’m concerned. I’m not supporting EA nor do I trust them to not butcher their own products. They are self-destructing just like Ubisoft is because they cannot make a good decision to save their life.
If EA chooses the stupid route and BioWare doesn’t fight back…Yep, it could be and it would be a DOA game. Given that EA C-Suites don’t have more than 3 shared brain cells between them; they’ll fail to notice that Sony axed their live service game ambitions. They’ll pretend to not see the other struggling live service game companies, and think that Mass Effect as a franchise will have the drive behind it to win. It won’t give that Andromeda was such a flop which didn’t excite a lot of Mass Effect fans.
This is a game that cannot fail (lest the Mass Effect franchise fall into ruin), but will if too many bad decisions are made in the development process.
It won’t be.

It’ll be dead on arrival if it is.
