Bioware has just announced that it will not release any new patches for the single-player mode of Mass Effect: Andromeda. Moreover, Bioware claimed that there won’t be any DLC for Andromeda, and that its multiplayer mode will receive more content, including new multiplayer missions and character kits.
As Bioware claimed:
“Our last update, 1.10, was the final update for Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are no planned future patches for single-player or in-game story content.”
During these past few months, Bioware has improved the facial animations and the character models in the game’s cut-scenes, expanded its customization options, and fixed a number of issues that were reported by its community.
Of course this should not surprise anyone as Mass Effect: Andromeda was not as successful as its predecessors. And to be honest, Andromeda was not as ambitious as the previous Mass Effect games.
So yeah, it appears that the team is abandoning the game’s single-player mode, only five months since its release. To its credit, it has addressed a lot of issues and bugs, and – tech wise – Mass Effect: Andromeda is a polished product. As such, while this may disappoint the game’s fans, we can’t really think of anything that can be added to the game (perhaps a better story? But then again, this isn’t something that was meant to be addressed via a patch)!

Thanks now i can uninstall it 😛
That moment when Hello games dont abandon flop of probably all industry, but bioware abandons andromeda lol
Oh demn son, That headsh0t !
Difference being, Hello Games needs to fix No Man’s Lie in order to fix their reputation, otherwise they’re out of the industry forever, period.
EA on the other hand can just drop this turd any time they want, “because EA.” Sure, they probably lost some money on it, but so what, they shut down BioWare Montreal & that was that, the end, good bye, so long & good riddance.
Oh & they killed Mass Effect, sure, but eh, it was already pretty much dead, anyway.
Hello games don’t really need to tough. They could also have just let the little company go bankrupt, start up a new one and appoint a different CEO officially.
I now am convinced that hello games was pressured by Sony in many ways concerning the PR stories around the game and most definitely its way to early release and these guys really want to make and fix the game they always wanted.

Not a f*cking chance in hell. Sony may have given them too much leeway in terms of development, marketing etc. but that just means Sony was being naive, there’s no indication that they were actually aware that Hello Games was preparing to commit fraud, which is exactly what this was. If they were, I expect they’d have distanced themselves from NMS as a whole long before it launched.
As for letting the company go bankrupt; not really. They could have tried, sure, but then all of their names & faces would end up being permanently burned throughout the industry. Anyone who ever caught an identifiable Hello Games employee (because their names &/or faces were at one point publicly or privately associated with No Man’s Lie) on any staff screenshots anywhere would probably go on to look for more & if more were found, the entire scam would be unveiled.
Likewise, if they tried to keep their names & faces secret, then it’s just a question of when someone accidentally leaks something out & everyone finds out that [Insert Name Here] is in fact just “Hello Games In Disguise”, or “Hello Games 2.0.” No, not in this day & age, wherein as they say “The Internet Never Forgets.” I mean yeah, Sean Murray has remained the face of this entire scandal so far, but that wouldn’t necessarily remain the case if Hello Games hadn’t taken responsibility & tried to course correct after launch.
I am of the understanding that no mans lie sold really well despite being a fraud.
Sure, at launch, due to massive hordes of pre-orders. After that, sales bottomed out into nothingness once people found out it was a scam.
According to SteamSpy it’s currently at just under a million owners (928K), but if you look at the right-side chart, some are still refunding it. Or…. were? There’s been a sudden spike these last few days, what with the new patch I suppose, so we’ll have to wait & see.
Let it die and let’s forget it ever existed
Never
Forget
I wish I had not wasted $85 on it. Played the MEA MP for a couple of hours on launch day and was massively disappointed and never played again. ME3 MP was a million times better. And I have not even touched the MEA SP yet because of all the bugs and glitches. Guess I will finally give this disaster a try since it won’t be getting any better now.
“I wish I had not wasted $85 on it.”
Why so much ?
Super Deluxe Edition
Auch man i feel a bit bad for you. You bought it on the promise of of the first 3 games and this is what you got for that money.
I really don’t understand why people buy games before they are out. Especially in these times.
I wish you didnt wasted 85$ on any game.
This is low, I got the game at 30EU(50% off), but still have bugs, and I think it is worth 20EU…
I think it will be free in EA Access / EA Origin before end of this year.
they can’t improve perfection
Of which game?
You might be on the wrong thread
So the snowflakes weren’t so special after all.
They never are. They don’t have talents other than finding things people love and ruining them.
Ain’t that the truth.
Dude we need a DIVERSE team of which everyone has the same opinion and we all agree with each other while having no skills or new ideas. Fck meritocracy, that sure will turn out allright.
There is this image in google that shows a playdough rainbow saying “this is what liberals think diversity does” and then there is a brown playdough with all the colors mixed together. “This is what it actually does, you end up with a rocky brown tu rd”
Bioware isn’t making a decision to stop patching the SP part of the game. EA has most likely told them to and the reason is that they would have to spend millions of dollars redoing so much of the game that it’s not worth it and that’s not taking into the account that the team responsible for the proposed patching isn’t talented enough to do that in the first place.
Also, the marketing hype money spent by EA and the initial purchases by gamers are in the past and whatever scraps of money from the main game that are to be had doesn’t justify much more work from Bioware. Most likely EA has most of the fail-studio working on some other fail-gimmick of an excuse for a fail-game cash grab right now.
EA is pretty predictable. Eventually they will look at the sales for ME:A and probably shit-can the series just like they did with Dead Space…….and another SciFi series that I really enjoyed swirling down the toilet bowl.
“BioWare” Montreal got downgraded to a support studio with a round of layoffs, followed by its complete closure, I think, so they’re gone now, completely.
Someone had to play the EA card, very funny.
It was the SJW edition. IT was bound to be like this. Now if they only would have been upfront about them infusing it with this social cancer then it would have at least been honest. (And still tank because of just that)
The Mass Effect games always had a “diverse” cast but you could tell that the writers weren’t practically screaming “LOOK AT ALL THIS DIVERSITY, GUYS?!!! HUH?! HUH?!” like the Andromeda devs were. They never drew your attention to it, which is how it’s supposed to be.
Thanks SJW you ruined the game.
hopefully they dont ruin the new wolfenstein.
Ofc they will.
its is everywhere in the Media including the up coming far cry. It is funny though ,, all SJW media is being rejected like a disease in RL btu in the media they work hard to paint this picture as if it is the opposite.
Big dirty money is pushing these ideas.
Man i am starting to worry. Some female youtuber who is on the left wanted to interview the author of some book about Gamergate and people flagged the livestream before it even begins. Youtube “reviewed” it and concluded that the ‘non video’ violates their terms of service, so no livestreams for a few months for that user.
They try so hard to cover up the truth but its too late. These morons live in a diffirent world that their bs is accepted by the public. They learned nothing by the fact that Trump won the majority, they still thing they can brainwash everyone with ideas that have been rejected. Thet can monopolize the discussion as much as they want but the video “more than a refugee” on youtube has almost as many dislikes as advanced warfare. Yet they dont get it, they continue to push their REJECTED ideological benchmark like freaking fascists.
No worries, once this Social Justice Whiners era passes (which should be rather soon, in fact), Google will be forced to either re-adjust themselves, or face ever-more controversies as they insist on being Neo-Socialist Sh*ts in a post-Neo-Socialist age.
Generation X is rising & they have even less tolerance for this bullsh*t than we do, which is going to make this even more hilarious. That & these whiney little b*tches just growing up, really. It’s the same thing as with last time the hippies came out of the woodwork; a few years later they graduated & grew the f*ck up.
It is inevitable.
Yes but generation z is tiny compared to the hordes of immigrants from third world countries who are told “white people are evil and are opressing you, here is how to get them to do what you want”
And? The immigrants can’t vote (yet), so the 2020-2022 election period will be decided by the pissed off whites, old & young. There’s a reason the Social Justice Whiners fear the rise of the anti-immigration anti-EU populist parties; because they’re on the rise.
People are getting tired of “White Guilt” & “White Shame” & all that other assorted associated bullsh*t that the SJWhiners keep trying to feed us in order to make themselves feel better.
Action results in reaction. The Whiners keep trying to shame-force everyone into the left & instead they’re just riling up the right. Seriously, who could have ever seen that one coming >.>

This is like the owner of a car that’s currently on fire declaring that he’s refusing to continue pumping gas into it.
As a huge fan of the Mass Effect trilogy, what a damn dumpster fire Andromeda was that at no point was I even moderately interested in it.
And still the idiots spend money through Origin.
Well of course they wont the team has moved onto Dragon Age 4.
Ain’t that the truth.
