The good news: no expansions for Veilguard so we can get the next Mass Effect game sooner
The bad news: the people who made Veilguard are the ones working on Mass Effect

I see! No need for DLCs for extra money when the base Dragon Age Veilguard game sold so much and was a mega success already!

Add to that "artists" responsible for character design, ppl responsible for combat system, and for overall game's corridor design including really bad puzzles, and leadership who aproved all that shit too.
Coders/programmers tho- they solid just like in concords game.

As well as anybody who was involved with those horrible facial animations

They are really throwing this one under the bus. Even the fact that they're so much as mentioning Mass Effect during the launch window is unusual. Plus a couple of days ago the Mass Effect director literally said out loud "don't worry ME won't look like Veilguard"

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Cool.
I *really* hope that means the game has a definitive conclusion. No DLC or sequel bait.

Don't worry this is actually good news since it means the game was a blockbuster success with a complete and satisfying story with sales way beyond expectation. A one off masterpiece.

Can’t wait to play as Babysitter Shepard from the Alliance Mental Health Squad, flying around the galaxy and listening to my crew talking about their feelings and helping them to become comfortable in their own skin and be nice to each other.

And turn off the zero G when it's time to do their penance pushups.

The galaxy is at risk of getting invaded or destroyed but one of the characters in the ship, a man with a wig and some lipstick saying "IT'S MA'AM"

Maybe you can help your space ship’s AI determine which gender pronouns it prefers to be addressed with.

You have a list to scroll through of 3,462 so far. More will be updated as paid DLC. Others unlocked through side quests about its self discovery, none of which have a satisfying ending. You are left feeling incomplete.
Which begs the question, "Am I the A.I.?"

"Let's just move on" tactic
Works like a charm.
Warner Bros and Rocksteady in hindsight should have made the same play. Sucks for them they went for the live service route and had obligations.

This is fucking hilarious because it will probably be real
EDMIX
Writes a lot, says very little
You didn't get any DLC from Dead Space Remake or Star Wars Fallen Order or its sequel and that Squadrons game also didn't get DLC
I don't know if I'd call something like this some wild conclusion of success or failure as why disregard them doing this during this generation? I mean, you don't really have any DLC type thing with 2042 as all the content within the game is free similar to BFV
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has no DLC, season pass, microtransactions, or loot boxes
Apart from cosmetics, EA abandons most monetisation policies, saying "it's on us to win back players"
www.pcgamesn.com
Star Wars: Squadrons – No DLC Planned at This Time
https://screenrant.com/dead-space-remake-no-microtransactions-ea-motive/
So look...before I jump down any wild claim, I must look at what EA is CURRENTLY doing before trying to sum this up to success or fail. EA this gen and even last gen has been altering how the do all of that.
edit BG3 must have failed big time lol No DLC, praised
Larian Studios Won't Make Baldur's Gate 3 DLC, Expansions, or Baldur's Gate 4 - IGN
At a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel today, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke dropped something of a bombshell by revealing that the developer isn't planning to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, nor a Baldur's Gate 4.
No DLC here "worry" and or "concern" lol
Imagine EA of all companies has been doing this and instead of seeing it as a good thing the past few games, its now being used to attack the publisher.... So I don't know if some of you are even REALLY against DLC or just use it to argue about shit lol

Giant tentpole RPG franchise release
A decade in development
Paid reviews mention "if this is the last Dragon Age..."
Immediately discontinue work on content
How bad are the internal sales projections guys? Holy shit. The clips I've seen since launch are just shocking. How can a company the size of EA invest so much in this type of product? If this game doesn't break even, shareholders have the right to be livid. This was easy money in the bank. All they had to do was nothing. Just make a regular ass RPG game and ride the BG3 hype. But nope. We get this.

Mass Effect and Elder Scroll fans at this point should just make peace with the fact that Bioware and Bethesda just doesn't have it in them anymore. Studios don't make games, devs make games, and the talented devs that worked on those games are simply gone, retired or in other firms now. Whoever replaced those devs just ain't it. You can't expect them to put out worthy sequels to their legendary games anymore. They can only make mediocre things like Fallout 76, Starfield, Andromeda or Veilguards now.
Cherish the old games, try to enjoy the new games and IPs from other talented devs. Don't get your hopes up for the sequel.

Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 should be more than fine with sells since they were always several times larger than Mass Effect and Dragon Age with only GTA VI being bigger.

They will likely sell, but don't expect it to be as good as the old classics. Starfield, despite all its mediocrity, also sold pretty well.
But no one will talk about Starfield as the iconic RPG of an era like they talked about Skyrim. It'd very likely be the same for ES6 and Fallout 5 as well.
