  I think its for the best that it was cancelled. The first two Mass Effect games are some of my favourites and I would rather have no new game in the series than whatever EA would produce today.

    I want more optional homosexual romance in my games, not less!

    If these people think Homosexuality is a choice, then let people choose to have a gay relationship. If you’re so hellbent on sexuality being a choice, you’ll just intentionally avoid all the homosexual romance options throughout the game, right…?

    Right…?

    Do you have a shitload of money? Then they don’t care.

  Why the fuck would any rational person buy a game from EA. That company hasn’t produced a decent game in almost a decade.

  Called it (not that it took a crystal ball or anything.) the day the EA+PIF news came out. I had just wrapped up playing the ME series and Dragonage games, said it out loud to my spouse. Saudi Arabia sucks camel balls and chops up reporters.
