How mass effect 2 came together in 18 months successfully:
- It was the same team that shipped mass effect. Teams often have a lot of turn over, the core team stayed on for mass effect 2.
- We knew the timeline up front (I believe the dragon age 2 team had their schedule pulled in six months or more which was rough(
- We struggled a lot shipping mass effect 1 on unreal and we made a lot of mistakes. We came into mass effect 2 knowing how to build with unreal.
- We were ruthless about limiting scope. Mass Effect 1 was a much higher scope game and we had to cut about half of it just to ship. The team hated that and it was wasteful because a lot of work didn't ship. We cut our scope to the bone early on so no work was wasted.
- We listened to the player feedback on mass effect 1 and used that to decide what to cut, what to keep, and what to improve.
Mass effect 2 was not perfect, but it benefited so much from setting realistic achievable goals given the short development timeline.

The developers at BioWare know how to run their studio. They know how to make the games that fans love. They should be given the first opportunity – and the federal support – to buy it and run it themselves.
If you agree, sign the petition at the link in my bio! #SaveMassEffect

N7 Day results 🔴
Mass Effect Legendary Edition hit 10,380 players on Steam, more than double a normal day, right in our window.
Think that’s small? This is a 5.5-year-old single-player remaster with no update, no sale, and no marketing. Fans organized it in less than two weeks with no budget and asked people not to buy new copies. And Steam is only part of it: console players (the biggest demographic), EA app players, and everyone who watched a stream instead don’t show up on this chart.
The fans are STILL here. N7 Day was only the beginning. #SaveMassEffect

A member of our community, AngryBaby, has put up #SaveMassEffect billboards in the Frisco and Dallas areas of North Texas.
It's incredible to see fans taking the initiative and spreading the movement on their own.

Guys, our pressure on EA is working. Don’t give them a chance to divide us—let’s keep going! Fill their comment sections with our hashtag, #SaveMassEffect. By tomorrow, we’ll push the petition past 290,000 signatures—we’re almost there! And by the 7th, we’ll definitely hit over 300,000. We have plenty of PR moves planned, so keep spreading the word—most importantly, don’t stop! Hold the line and share the petition everywhere you can, across all social media platforms. Support one another. Stay strong and don’t give in to despair. Talk soon!

Dearest #SaveMassEffect community,
You may or may not be aware that the @BioWareGear store is having a sale.
THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.
If you buy from the Bioware Gear Store, the money goes to EA.
EA does not deserve our money, or any money, unless they reinstate Bioware and commit to continuing and releasing Mass Effect 5.
If you want Mass Effect merch without giving EA money... Have a look on eBay, Vinted, Depop, Mercari, ThredUp, Goodwill, Poshmark etc...
In the UK you can check Oxfam, Barnados, Shelter, Crisis and the British Red Cross who all have online stores, and there's also The British Heart Foundation who have an eBay shop and a Depop partnership.
Not only will you not be giving EA money, you can support a charity and maybe find a bargain.
<3

Mass Effect fans: the Battlefront community is united with you in wishing for the continued development of the next game in the saga.
Let us unite the Battlefront and Mass Effect communities in support of continuing both franchises.
Development on ‘STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT 3’ has not begun yet.
EA chose to invest in ‘Battlefront 3’ instead of a new ‘Mass Effect’ game and shut down BioWare as a result.

It’s not a coincidence that days after the petition reaches nearly 300,000 signatures this comes out
Making this public information is meant to incite the ME community and turn them against the Star Wars community
Don’t fall for it, keep fighting the good fight together❤️
BioWare reportedly shut down because EA chose to invest in the development of 'Star Wars: Battlefront 3' over 'Mass Effect 5' 🎮

Don't get tricked by this 'softening the blow' rhetoric. It took them over a week to publicly explain themselves - which was undoubtedly a result of the immediate and justifiably negative feedback and comments against them as a company.

EA says closing BioWare followed months of review and was "never easy." The #SaveMassEffect petition is nearing 300,000 signatures. What's your favorite Mass Effect game? gamerant.com/bioware-shutdow…
