  Honestly like why? I don’t believe either property really needs to continue. Why must everything be an IP.. those games are OLD.. the good ones at least. Let it die.

    Mass Effect was really just Bioware not wanting to pay for Star Wars again. Why not do the same and make a new Mass Effect worthy IP?

    The trilogy told the story. Andromeda didnt really add much.

      Yea, there’s still so much to that universe besides the whole bad guy ending the galaxy stick.

  Unfortunately I’m pretty sure all this will lead to now they they aren’t beholden to quarterly growth but rather can become a sustained money printer is cutting anything except the sims, modern warfare, and their sports cash cows, and recycling those every year even more than they do now, since people regularly buy those every time a new version (or in the case of the sims expansion) is released

  Someone should make a Freespace RPG. It’s the same story, but since there wasn’t a Freespace 3 they never screwed up the ending.
