I think I just saw a Mass Effect reference in a major geopolitical story. Some group is claiming to have obtained NSA malware and is auctioning it off. They are calling themselves The Shadow Brokers. http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2016/08/15/nsa-hacked-shadow-brokers-equation-group-leak/#73f17f2b77f9 The Shadow Brokers posted:We follow Equation Group traffic. We find Equation Group source range. We hack Equation Group. We find many many Equation Group cyber weapons, We give you some Equation Group files free, you see. This is good proof no? You enjoy!!! You break many things. You find many intrusions. You write many words. But not all, we are auction the best files People think they are Russians but I suspect they are actually Vorcha.

Well there is a real Cerberus, and it's run by Dan Quayle. Sometimes their evil plots backfire too, like when they bought Chrysler.

The reason for it is EA wanting to put the spotlight on the christmas games first. Make of that what you will.

We're supposed to get the first of the Andromeda novel tie ins this month but since their announcement back in June there hasn't been any other updates to it as far as I've been able to tell.

I think it was discussed already earlier on in the thread or in the DAI one but the number really isn't as catastrophic as people are making it to be. I looked at a few articles and they all seem to suggest the number is four. The issue is that a few of those people were really big names on the team (and series), so a lot of people are understandably nervous. I believe at least one of them said their work on MEA was actually done so it was time to move on and another may have been more of a project manager type deal, not really someone directly involved in the development.

Casey Hudson (former executive producer of the Mass Effect series) left August 2014 to work on Hololens at Microsoft. Chris Wynn (Andromeda senior development director) left in December, apparently moving to H1Z1 as executive producer. Cameron Harris (Andromedia senior editor) left the game industry entirely in April. Chris Schlerf (Andromeda lead writer) jumped ship to Destiny in February. So, like, all of those could be reasonable career changes, but three of them showing up this winter, just as the game was presumably entering the last phases of development, makes people nervous.

Mass Effect Andromeda is NX exclusive and is the flagship launch title alongside Zelda so they really can't show anything until the NX reveal. Why else would they both be March releases but dead silent this close to release? #followthemoney

Well, an editor, writer and director leaving when they should be in bug fix and polish mode might not be too dire. Or maybe the wanted their names off of it for a reason.

What's most concerning about these departures is that this game was apparently not up to the quality standards for the head writer of Halo 4.
