They haven't been canned - just put on hold - the big one Omega will come after they finish ending DLC.
As I said - did you get a chance to see anything on the third disk?
Dude, they've practically been canned. Mass effect 3, has practically in and of itself been canned.
They sold 1.5 million coppies, an abysmal number for a franchize of this size. This is not even taking into account the amount of people that have sold their coppies back.
They're "fix" for the endings is their last grasp at a life line. Since its gonna be free, they're loosing money there and it'll take some time for people to trust them, or their brand name again even if it does fix the ending.
The next DLC they release after the endings will most likely not do very well (especially if its Aria's retake Omega. Just look at Leliana's song, arguably the worst sold DLC for DA:O) unless both the ending DLC is a resounding success and it is also a resounding success on the level of the Overlord DLC, tall orders for both ventures.
So essentially Bioware needs to hit two saving throws in a row, one of which needs an 18 or higher roll. Their chances are not good. And even if they do "save" the series, I immagine with the BBB now breathing down their necks they're gonna want to distance themselves from this game fairly quickly unless both the ending fix and the next DLC are met with rave reviews from the consumers, something that is unlikely to happen.
Mass Effect 3 is for all intents and purposes a fast sinking ship. All we can hope for is that the rescue crews get here in time so that something of a good memory can survive.
