Not sure if this game ends on any kind of cliff-hanger or any hint of a sequel, but either way it's not going to happen apparently
I think that's an odd way to frame it. Haters would've had absolutely zero impact in any decision made to do this.

Andromeda received significant amounts of bad publicity when it launched due to amount of glitches and bugs. I would suspect this was a major contributing factor to the game having relatively poor sales and Metacritic score. Relatively being the key word, of course, but presumably it fell a long way short of the targets that were set for it.

I liked the game and I'm disappointed by the news, but I'm just going to reproduce what I said in my final post.

Whether that's a result of Bioware smurfing up or EA demanding the game be rushed out we can only speculate, but it comes down to one simple principle: Actions have consequences. Haters? No. Whoever green lit this for sale, happy to take money from customers despite knowing what state it was in and hoping to cash in on the brand name is responsible. And it's a damn smurfing shame all round.
