Mass Effect: Legendary Edition outperformed expectations | VentureBeat
It seemed like MELE was doing pretty good at launch but it's nice to get further confirmation. No solid numbers given, but EA is talking up how it outperformed expectations and that it, along with the two player co-op adventure "It Takes Two", contributed to the company's overperformance in "full game sales". This is only good news for the Mass Effect franchise and BioWare. After stumbling with Andromeda and faceplanting with Anthem, it's nice to have a reminder that there are still a lot of people who really enjoy the original trilogy and that the universe, characters, and stories have really stood the test of time. Hopefully it's a morale boost to the both the teams working on DA4 and ME5, an encouragement to stay the course with gameplay that focuses on single player storytelling, and something they can point to when EA pressures them towards live services. I know a lot of people have given up on BioWare, but this clearly shows there's still a lot of love for the ME trilogy, and I want to see the results of BioWare trying to make a game in that vein again.
