* [[Internet Backdraft]]: The ending of ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' was less than well received, and many blame directly EA for it, suspecting that ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' was released early because of EA putting pressure on Bioware. And let's not talk about the DLC character and the others DLC to come, which have [[Broken Base|mixed reactions]]. Sadly, we will never know for sure how much EA influenced Bioware during ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'''s development. |
