Over 187K fans call on EA to 'Save Mass Effect'
More than 187,000 people have signed a petition calling on Electronic Arts to ensure the continued development of the beloved sci-fi RPG franchise Mass Effect. The movement comes as a response to recent instability within BioWare.
The petition, started by Joe Smith, does not aim to reverse recent corporate decisions at BioWare. Instead, it demands decisive action to keep the franchise alive. The core argument is that maintaining the high standards associated with Mass Effect requires proper funding, adequate staffing, and sufficient development time.
As an alternative, the petition suggests that EA could license the Mass Effect intellectual property to another studio that possesses the passion and vision to let the universe flourish. Supporters argue that halting new developments in this setting would be a devastating blow to the diversity of narrative-driven gaming as a whole.
This movement follows reports regarding the alleged cancellation of a project titled Mass Effect Universe. While BioWare previously confirmed the existence of an internal trailer for the project, its future remains uncertain following widespread job cuts across EA. These layoffs have impacted several studios, including Respawn, Maxis, Full Circle, and EA Motive.
