Patrick Weekes: Future DLC plans of any kind depend on success of Leviathan. If we see that people want SP DLC, can always make more :)

So when Mass Effect 3 goes down the drain, is Bioware going to try and put it on fans that support for the game wasn't high enough? This seems ridiculous to me, we have been very vocal about what we want yet are being told we can't have it. So what it comes down to is, we will only make stuff that foreshadows our terrible ending and if you buy it we'll keep making it, but we won't make anything you actually want.

As if this is the only game to ever use the success of it's products to gauge fans interest.

Isn't it rather "the sky is blue?" Of course future DLC depends on demand.

Capitalism doesn't care.

Money talks, not you or I.

A-ha, from Bioware! Now I am deeply hurt by this statement, it is like a slap in the face. How dares he!

Perhaps I'm just extremly cynical now... And reading into this comment wrong.

But at first read, it felt like they don't really care about making DLC. It feels like they don't really have plans for SP DLC.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it struck me.

That's not particularly true. Mr. Weekes is one of the few people left in Bioware that i respect.

Well, Patrick, that kind of depends more on the content the fans are getting than anything else.

More content with their favorite characters is always good, but there's also that need for the DLC to serve a purpose if it's related to the story. It needs to leave a mark people want to remember in many categories.

The weakest part with Leviathan for me is that it felt like nothing was really accomplished at the end of it. I already knew the story behind the Catalyst (which I didn't like either) and almost nothing changed. I gained some war assets and that's about it.

Yup, this is basic supply and demand. If people don't buy ME content, then ME content stops being made.

People are reading too much into it....
If players show interest in more SP content then they will do it.

Really, i wonder why is so hard to understand a simple statement without seeing some "hidden and malicious meaning" <_<

The interest is reflected through the sales of leviathan is what Patrick means.

It seems to be pretty much this. Bioware has chosen the Refuse ending which leads to a critical mission failure.

Bioware, make an ending we want to play again and we will buy SP DLC. But right now I feel there is no point in buying Leviathan because there is no point in doing anything that leads to that ending.

Sometimes I wonder if Bioware has already started on ME4 which presupposes a Synthesis ending. Instead of letting all that work go to waste, they are doggedly trying to get us to like Synthesis. :sick:

What I want is simple: dead Reapers without the death of an entire allied race like the Geth, you want to devastate their numbers fine but let some live.
If I can't do that I don't care about any other glorified side mission, so can't help till then, sorry.

I agree.

Perhaps Bioware has a plan, who knows. Part of me wants to think they do, but his comment kind of put me off.

Maybe they have another planned DLC, but I think that's it. I think the next DLC needs to be a whole lot better, and if they listen to what we ask for I would bet their sales would be pretty good.

I'd like some kind of dlc that allows you to get a Destroy ending that only kills the Reapers and not any other synthetic.

Lol... they want our support so they can make more irrelevant content? THe story is terrible, the ending is one of the most insulting things i have ever seen.

They dont get it, do they? There is no point in ME anymore. ANd they wont fix it.

I wonder if Weekes is posting this as a reaction to slow Leviathan DLC sales.

He's stating the obvious here, so the intent of this post could be to bump up awareness.
