Urge EA to sell or license Mass Effect for new game development
The Issue
Mass Effect is not just a game; it's a legendary journey that has captured the imaginations of its fans worldwide. For countless players, Mass Effect represents an epic narrative, a place of adventure and excitement that brings people together in their passion for gaming. Unfortunately, this beloved franchise risks being indefinitely shelved by Electronic Arts (EA). As fans, we cannot stand by and watch this happen. We are here to urge EA to either sell or license the Mass Effect intellectual property (IP) to a dedicated studio that can breathe new life into the series, ensuring that its rich universe is preserved and expanded for years to come.
The Mass Effect series has earned critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase since its debut in 2007. Created by BioWare, the trilogy’s compelling stories are filled with complex characters, immersive storytelling, and decisions that impact the entire universe. According to VGChartz, the series has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, proving there is a significant demand and love for the franchise. But despite this popularity, the future of Mass Effect remains uncertain. Recent decisions by EA have placed the long-term health of the series in jeopardy. By licensing or selling the IP, EA can ensure that the legacy of Mass Effect continues, allowing dedicated developers to craft new experiences that are true to the original vision.
We understand that developing and maintaining such a vast and beloved universe is no small task. However, there are passionate studios eager to take up this challenge, studios that have a track record of respecting source material while innovating and expanding upon it. For instance, CD Projekt Red has demonstrated an ability to handle large-scale, narrative-driven games with respect and innovation, as seen in their Witcher series. By allowing such studios access to the Mass Effect IP, EA would not only be preserving a beloved franchise but also harnessing the passion of developers and fans alike.
We are calling on EA to acknowledge the passion of the Mass Effect community and consider solutions that would allow the series to thrive once more. Our aim is to provide fans with new adventures, new stories, and new reasons to gather together and celebrate this universe that means so much to us. The Reapers stand as a warning to humanity's potential futures, and today, we stand together to fight for the future of Mass Effect.
Join us in urging EA to take action. Together, we can show them the profound impact this series has had on our lives and express our keen demand for its continuation. Sign this petition to help safeguard the future of Mass Effect and to ensure it continues to inspire future generations of gamers.
