Bloomberg: Main reason behind BioWare's shutdown was that EA chose to invest in Star Wars: Battlefront 3 over the next Mass Effect
Development on Battlefront 3 hasn't started yet

Hard agree. And, personally speaking, my favorite to work on of the three games. Especially the music I wrote for Mars. BET that I would've brought back the vibe of Mars combat for Mass Effect Universe. But heavier.

⚠️ Please take claims like these with a massive grain of salt.
Sadly, some people are taking advantage of the current situation by pretending to be BW devs. Until there's an evidence, treat any unverified claims with caution and avoid spreading misinformation.

🤫 MEU developer here. There’s a reason certain parts of the game haven’t leaked. Keep pushing—we might actually save this thing. We love Mass Effect so much that we’ve donated to support the effort, too.
🗣️ Idk if this is legit but #SaveMassEffect

My own sourcing claims this story isn't true. I am as happy to shit on EA's leadership and their new owners as much as anyone but I also don't want the community to latch onto bait. #masseffect

ALT BioWare Was Asked to Remove LGBTQ Flag from Canceled Mass Effect Game, Report Says
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Polygon headline claims BioWare "was asked to remove LGBTQ flag," but BFM journalist clarifies devs proactively removed a flag resembling (not the actual) Pride flag from a demo to anticipate feedback, not to hide elements.

Heh! Look what I dug up from a dusty old folder. If I remember right, this was part of my pitch for Mass Effect 1, and Casey wound up using it in that tech demo.

In 2013 Kotaku interview, he expressed he'd kill to write stories on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

The more that comes out, the more it reads like a mixture of loot and pillage accounting sprinkled with political meddling.

The loss of the next Mass Effect couldn't have come at a worse time, because the premise of Mass Effect Universe is exactly what our culture needs in 2026: a story about what rebuilding after the world ends really looks like. My take for @IGN:

Mass Effect discourse, September:
yeah i know Garrus doesn't have a canonical same sex romance, but if you read between the lines...

While the sentiment is good here it does fail to take a lot into consideration.
First - with many projects like this the last 20% of work to be done on the project is normally the most expensive and can cost just as much if not more than the previous 80%.
Second - this doesn't take into account distribution, which in and of itself is very expensive.
Finally - marketing, yes we made a joke about what better marketing could you ask for then fans resurrecting @masseffect , but the reality is that there would be a lot of marketing dollars put into making sure this game is a success.
@eastern_snake makes a point about making $18+MM if the cost is $5MM in reality I think we'd need closer to $75MM to finish the project meaning a true profit would probablyland us near needing the game to make $100MM from this point, and that doesn't include previous sunk costs. None of this is out of the realm of possibility, but we need to be very clear about expectations of cost.
According to Polygon’s estimates, it would take $5 million to maintain a 50-person studio for two years leading up to the release of ME Universe.
If everyone who signed the petition so far pays $80 for the game, @EA will receive $18,680,880. Come on, @EA, this is just a 5-day petition—sales will be even higher – #SaveMassEffect

Getting to work with not one, but two world-class art directors has been such a privilege. Some of my favorite moments during my time at BioWare came from just the last few months getting to work with Nic. Such a special team.
