Well, here we go folks.

Well its unknown how well a big hype project like Mass Effect 4 would do, but considering that Double Fine made over 1.6 million already for something that is "unpublishable", its hard to imagine that something as hyped as Mass Effect wouldnt make many times more than that if it was threatened to be the only way the game…
50.000 backers already, which would be considered an incredibly massive failure if that was the sales for a triple-a game. even $2 million is a tiny budget. You're trying to prove something as a fact which for various reasons won't happen. Possibly, but possibly not, it's easier to think about making a game than worrying…
