BioWare Producer Says Release Timing May Have Hurt Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda was not as critically well received as past entries in the series, and one BioWare producer offered his insight into one aspect he believes may have contributed to Mass Effect: Andromeda's review scores.
