From Playfuls.com: "Apparently, US retailer Target is either too scared or has the same experience in gaming as Cooper Lawrence, since they've begun pulling Mass Effect off shelves. What's even more absurd is that the game is actually in stock, but Target employees are not allowed to sell it..."
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.

This is beyond retarded
everyone, enjoy the next couple of years (if we even get that long...), becuase the video game industry is going to begin a downfall soon. video games have been somewhat unrestricted, due to not being mainstream enough for the "FOX news"es of the world to care. because of that, video game creators have been free to make games that have whatever content they imagine in the game, whatever creative ideas they have. we've gotten the gritty realism of shooters, games that tell stories that not even hollywood would approach, innovation is constant and games keep getting better and better. but now games have become mainstream, and now they will be moderated to the point of making all of them mediocre at best (example: just about any movie you've seen in theaters the last few years). now we'll get ignorant news pieces followed by even more ignorant reactions. every store and company will be worried about what some soccer mom in nebraska will think of a game with a mature rating on it, regardless of the fact that it isn't intended for little jonny to begin with, due to the over exposure and easy news targets. studios will begin only making the same safe game constantly, with a different coat of paint, and we as a fanbase will suffer for it.
This is terrible news. Target is acting real scared. I haven't heard Fox's 'news' (loosely used) report pop up anywhere else but here. It hasn't hit the mainstream so why is Target over reacting?
Who says, "OMG, Target sells Mass Effect!?!?! I'm not going to buy my bathroom towels and home decor from there anymore!!!" That is plainly stupid.
Target has done a great service to gamers across the US. Smut content such as Mass Effect does not need to be sold to our children.
Also, Target has just begun early what most retailers will be doing in a couple of years. Which is pulling ALL XBOX 360 related content off the shelves.
Good job Target.
