The cost of the merchandise doesn\'t really count as a point towards Cash Cow Franchise


** In April 2014, buying every last piece of [=DLC=] for Mass Effect 3 for Xbox, right down to the last hat, cost £60.39 (about US$100 or €73) in the UK. A new copy of the game cost about £40 on first release, and about £10 in 2014.

** Similarly, the model who plays Male Shepard didn't want anything gay associated with his image. So no male gay romance option, either. [[SubvertedTrope At least until Mass Effect 3.]]

* CashCowFranchise: Not quite yet, but due to the universe's detail, depth, and extreme popularity, many are expecting BioWare to take it in this direction.
** Four novellas, two comics (plus two free mini-comics), and three spinoff [[IOSGames iPhone]] games, so far.
* CelebrityVoiceActor: ''All'' over the place. Creator/SethGreen, Creator/AdamBaldwin, [[Series/{{Chuck}} Yvonne Strahovski]], [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Tricia Helfer]], Creator/MartinSheen, Creator/ClaudiaBlack, [[Film/TheMatrix Carrie-Anne Moss]]... the list goes on. In fact, it could be said that the in-development movie could very well be made with many of the characters literally being played by their voices (in fact, FanDumb might result if anything else were to happen in some cases!)
