All ea games past and present require prime sub, but on the other hand a mass effect TV series would be nice if they don't fuck it up

  What do you mean? Master Chief is best known for taking off his helmet at any and every opportunity, and for sleeping with Covenant spies while Cortana watches. Edit: I also didn't expect them to use the people who did voice acting for the game, but it's bizarre to me that they decided to get Jen Taylor to voice Cortana but didn't decide to cast her as Halsey. Would have made more sense to just have the lady who played Halsey voice Cortana as well, since Halsey modeling Cortana after herself tells you a lot about her character and her overinflated opinion of herself.

    I can't wait the the marathon series on paramount plus I'm sure it would make more sense after they redo Halo to actually follow the story and it's cyberpunk! Which is sooo hot right now

They couldn’t even stop from fucking up the games. Plus has Amazon studios released anything good?

  Fair, and I'm not sure about anything they've made themselves, but some stuff they've published is ok, perhaps they can get a qualified professional to do it

  Reacher maybe? But they somehow had the self-control to follow the book pretty closely for that one, which seems like a rarity for the sorts of people who get put in creative control of productions at Amazon, Netflix, etc.

A big part of the fun of mass effect is the immersive choose-your-own-adventure decisions it gives you. So no idea how a television series would work unless they could effectively explore moral dilemmas like older star trek, unlike new trek which tells you what to think.

  That was their objection to licensing it before, but it could be done, just need to get the story right
