Mass Effect: Andromeda Was "Done Dirty" By EA And Punching Bag For "Chuds," Actor Says

Actor Tom Taylorson, who played Scott Ryder in Mass Effect: Andromeda, has reflected on working on the game, saying it was one of the best things he's ever done but it was "done dirty" by EA and criticized by "online chuds."

Speaking to We Are Mass Effect, Taylorson said he had an "immense amount of fun" working on Andromeda, labeling it "hands down one of the best things I've ever worked on."

The game got a "bum rap," Taylorson said, saying it was "done dirty by a publisher expecting too much from it." He also said the game was not "fully cooked" and was "forced out the door early." He said the developers were "forced" to use EA's Frostbite 3 engine, even though "many of the team didn't know how to work with it and it was not suited to the storytelling part of the game."
