Mass Effect 1 and DA: O were almost finished before EA happened. That's why these were still good.Hard to be excited about this to be honest. Bioware got EA'd so hard in recent years, it's kinda hopeless. DA: Origins was fantastic, but two other games in trilogy were meh at best.

"Bioware" and "Dragon Age" are just EA brands now, they have nothing to do with the past at all. And nobody from that past now works at EA.
So do you get excited for EA sequel #999?
Personally I don't buy any games from this company, because I don't like their games. These are bland shareholder-checklist-developed AAA shovelware, regardless of what previously famous labels they put on them.
With my huge backlog I'm in the luxurious situation to not have to put up with anything but the best of the best for new releases, especially in genres which are not in primary focus of interest. I can afford being picky.But I played much worse RPGs and still were able to have fun. *shruggs*
Bioware still exists?
Yea, the days of me getting excited about a Bioware game died long ago.
Bioware is in the bin of "Don't ever buy/support this company ever again" Now move over Bioware, make room for Bethesda and Dice in the bin.
Aye if it wasnt for EA a lot of games would be on my wishlist now even if it looks good ie Anthem Im just not going to buy it due to it being EA.
It works very well, just look at the share prices. Not having to bother with "Origin" helps, too.EA is trash, yes, but your policy is flawed. If Anthem is a good game with fun content and without microtransactions (other than the visual armour pieces and paintjobs as they promised) I will defo buy it. It's of no use to gamers to boycott a company a priori.
Given EA's track rekord the question is for how long?
It's of no use to gamers to boycott a company a priori.
In some cases, yes it is.
Look at the long list of great dev studios that EA was annihilated, a list that begins in the late XXth century. Now look at the worderful franchises that several of those studios had, and are now turned into a pile of ashes. And now imagine how many wonderful games from those studios we could have had over the years, if EA hadn't destroyed those studios.
Buying stuff from EA only helps them to keep on destroying more game studios, even on the off chance they manage to put out a half decent game every now and then I'll still not give then another dime ever again.
