Seems like today news about why Bioware got shut down only increased interest in our petition and cause. Because this not just about Bioware games. This is about a gaming industry that forgets passion in gaming and only sees profit #SaveMassEffect#battlefront3
Don’t give up.
We now have more clarity of the situation, which means we can make more accurate decisions. We need to show them that both series are profitable #SaveMassEffect
So they cancelled Mass Effect which was definitely NOT in early development so they could stick to their safety net.. but haven't started production?
How are you paying that $18b?
Hey @EA are you trying to make both fans of Mass Effect and Star Wars mad at you?
#SaveMassEffect
Small correction: it was announced in Dec 2020, and for most of that time BioWare’s main focus was Veilguard. The studio only shifted fully to Mass Effect in early 2025, and by the time it closed, BioWare was down to about 50 people. That’s not 7 years of big-budget spending like you claim.
And if EA doesn’t want to invest more, that’s exactly why licensing makes sense. Someone else funds development, and EA gets paid for the work already done instead of writing it off. #SaveMassEffect

THIS!
This is not Star Wars fans' fault.
Don't bash them, it's EA's choice, it's a strategy.
We don't fall for it and we keep making noise for our IP and Studio ✊️

Ah yes. Let’s cancel a game that is currently in development, going smoothly, and has a dedicated, hungry for more fan base for a game that… hasn’t even been started yet. @EA I will never purchase another game made by you.
I can accept that a live service Battlefront 3 will be a more profitable than Mass Effect: Universe would've been...
BUT
I find it impossible to believe that it was truly a "either/or" situation and this is just a lame excuse to shutter the Edmonton office. #savemasseffect
We will to keep the pressure on
@EA and save the Mass Effect Universe! We need to show them they have no safe space on social media. We will continue our campaign until they surrender!! #HoldTheLine and #SaveMassEffect SIGNUP: https://t.co/MPJZiTXytQ
So...it was the Saudi Arabian buy out, because the buy out resulted in EA being saddled with a massive debt on the balance sheet because they accepted a leveraged buy out. What's going to end up happening is they sell off things like Madden & Battlefield and pocket the cash while they close down things that go against their agenda. Folks, this isn't a "Star Wars killed Mass Effect" issue, it's greed. It's a similar strategy to what Golden Gate Capital did to Darden Restaurants. It's the exact same thing. EA likely won't exist in a decade.
Mass Effect community, you know what to do here.
Be respectful, kind and clever. Avoid replying with just the hashtag or petition link. Like and support each other's comments.
