Overall, this just really really blows. EA not only whores out every one of its franchises every year or two but they NEVER support their shit for more than 12 months (if even that long). PC gamers in particular have been left with a bad taste in their mouths over the years by EA and their bullshit.
I hope to God that they won't ruin BioWare's vision with Mass Effect but knowing EA, they're already trying to think of way to milk the franchise (Captain Shepard plush dolls), kill support (expect late & overpriced DLC), create spin-offs (Mass Effect: Need for Cyberspeed and Mass Effect: Underground) and overall, just fuck everything up.
This is particularly shattering if you have read about BioWare's grand vision with Mass Effect. Surely EA will bite into that vision in the name of profits, shareholders, and cockgobbling.
