User blog comment:Aleksandr the Great/Prothean Squadmate is Officially DLC/@comment-1896832-20120223054700

Man, you guys are blowing things.. enormously out of proportion without reading a few things, including information already released.

Not that I don't disagree: EA is basically.. well. Monetizing the bejeebus out of things. Thing is, what if this Prothean, aside from just lore value, has nothing he can do but try to fight for you? His race his gone, utterly wiped out.

Furthermore, we do not know if the Prothean 'superweapon' will be whats needed to actually stop the Reapers. There's so many questions and plot threads, and people are like. RUINEDFOREVER without taking a crack at it.

That said, it could've REALLY been handled better, like the 'new game' pass that was present in ME2 via the Cerberus Network.
