With EA buying Bioware and owning Mass Effect, does this mean they can make it multiplatform for more profit? I'd like to hear people's reactions to this possibility and to EA buying Bioware. As well, any ideas on how far Microsoft will go to keep Mass Effect exclusive?
I wouldn't be surprised, EA would release anything multi platform for some extra bucks especially a high profile game as Mass Effect . I don't remebr a game that EA has released that didn't become multi platform at some time .
Could you imagine if they delayed the 360 release just to make an PS3 and PC version have a multi-plat release?...that really would send everyone including myself into a frenzy...HANDS OFF EA, you've ruined enough gamefranchises as it is.

So would alot of people. And some would just punch him because.
since when does Microsoft Game Studios publish multi-platform games? they wont let this happen to Mass Effect but in the future and for future games this could be a problem...
I'm thinking if the first mass effect game becomes a really good success then i believe microsoft will do whatever it can for mass effect to remain only for the 360...we'll have to wait and see
I really hope it says 360 exclusive, I would think if it ended up being a huge success then it might. It bothers me to see EA snatching up companies like this. They are good on there own, imagine if Bungie got snatched up by EA...we could be seeing a Halo football game right now.

Who cares? As long as we get a top notch game I could care less if someone with a PS3 plays it. Same goes for Halo, Bioshock, etc.zael99
I care. But not because of childish fangirl-ism for the 360. I just like games optimised for one console. Plus multi-platform games take longer to develop usually.

true. although there are good multiplatform games, thats given, exclusives are often a hell of a lot better. im just worried, given that mass effect has the poss. of being a trilogy, how epic it is already and how amazingly epic it COULD BE, i just hope EA doesnt put their money-grubbing hands all over the dev of the sequels and, well, poopoo them.
I don't really care of it goes multi-platform or not, I've been planning to buy Mass Effect for my 360 for a long time now and I still will. The only thing I'm worried about is EA getting there dirty hands on the game(s). A sequel to ME would probably be a joke if EA is in any way involved in the making of it.

Well I could care less if it comes out on the PS3 as long as it remains on the 360 as well. The only thing I hate is that this gives the Sony fanboys something to gloat about such as " LOLZ STUPID XBOTZ WE GOTZ DA MASS EFFECTZ NOWZ!!!!!!" and in turn the Xbox fanboys will reply with "NAH UH CAUSE PS3 GOT NO GAMES THAT R THE GOOD". Although it really hasn't been said that Mass Effect will go multiplatform at all.
MS doesn't have the rights, at least they won't in January. Doesn't mean EA couldn't publish a redux for PC and Playstation 3. I own all the consoles but there's a reason why I purchased all of them. Considering EA, it may just happen. Which is somewhat frustrating, I think.
No, it still is exclusive. Since there was a publishingagreement between Bioware, and MS. Maybe if there's a part 2, but not the first one. Although EA will still reap the benefits of this title at the end of the day.
Mass effect will probably comes out next year on PS3/PC.. this is actually a good news since EA is a multi-platform company with mass amount of resource.
Everybody said EA is bad for gaming...but i think they're one of the reasons game console is as big as it is today
