No i doesnt matter what they were thinking, it is very important. The Protheans are an incredably important part of lore and by all rights the dicovery of a living one should have been the big twist in the game. And the storyline involves using a Prothean superweapon to destroy the Reapers. You cannot have a Prothean in a story about a Prothean superweapon and not to two contribute to each other. That is just bad storytelling. The only way this could be is if this "other studio" had no idea what the plot was and just pulled this out of their ass. And then dont get me started on Bioware outsourcing such an important character in one of their FLAGSHIP SERIES!
