You know...I really fucking hate these pricks. Evidently EA has come out saying that they have no intention of ever bringing the original Mass Effect trilogy to the PS4/XBox 1, saying they'd rather devote resources to creating new IPs than remastering old ones. While I can understand the reasoning behind that - and even endorse that line of thinking in some situations - I think it loses merit when dealing with a massive money-making IP such as Mass Effect. There's a little thing called "return on investment", apparently EA has never heard of such a thing.

Furthermore, they seem to piss right in the faces of fans of the series:
As someone who is just about to complete another trilogy run of the series, I can attest to the fact that - at least as far as I'm concerned - that notion is complete bullshit.
So what do you think? Am I the asshole and you would rather EA focus on having Bioware create new IP's or would you have been interested in having Bioware take a break to remaster the original Mass Effect trilogy for the current generation?

Implying that if you go back and play the games you'll feel like they weren't nearly as good as you remember them being, that their greatness only exists when the games are fresh and new."I don't know about you, but sometimes when I go back and play a game, you want the memory of what they were at that point in time when you played them," he continued. "If I go back and play the old games, I think, 'Really?!' Was this what it was? Because in my mind it was amazing."
