Hopefully this opens the door for EA to sell off the Mass Effect IP to a company that's interested in making something other than a live service game.

Fingers crossed, but it's weirdly uncommon in the games industry.

Apart from whatever the hell happened with Bungie's many changes of ownership, I can't think of many beloved franchises that have been successfully transitioned to new ownership...

Is that even a thing? I can't think of any case where company sold off game IP other than in acquisitions

  • Hytale was bought back from Riot Games by its original owner after Riot cancelled the project, but this kind of thing is certainly a 1 in a million situation
