This is because they couldn't figure out how to add card deck microtransactions into their games.

EA is dead and I'd love to see some actually good soccer and sports games come out to challenge their only remaining viable market sector, so they can be wiped out of the industry entirely.

Else they'll just keep buying actual game developers and publishers with their soccer-card money, enshittifying them, and closing them in this endless loop we've been watching play out for at least a decade.

I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed Andromeda. They killed it by trying to force cashgrab multiplayer into it, and then when that didn't perform they abandoned it completely. However, the single player campaign was enjoyable. I just wish they'd held on long enough to fix the bugs that were plaguing it.

As always, EA can suck a cock.

I mean it's sad but I can't even replay the original trilogy knowing how badly it ends.

The fact that they decided to set Andromeda in a completely different galaxy even shows that they knew it too.

Im ok with a full ending in a trilogy, the hero dying or whatever, but the choices were bad. And Kai Lang felt like a misplaced Final Fantasy villain.

I’m sad because BioWare produced the games I want to play. ME. DA. Greedfall ( I know it’s not BioWare ). And no one else is even trying to make those games.

Kai Leng wasn't cool enough to be a Final Fantasy villain.
