Bioware's plans for a future Mass Effect game after ME 3 is released might involve making the next game in the series as an MMO.
The idea behind an MMO comes from Bioware wanting to add some type of multiplayer experience without rushing it for the sake of having one (ex. Dead Space 2) but as a way to expand the story and galaxy into something bigger.

"We’ve been trying to think of a way that makes sense for people to experience Mass Effect with their friends,” Hudson commented. He further added that they haven’t found a way to did this yet and that because of this; they don’t have any news to announce regarding this matter at this time. Although he did add that “obviously, multiplayer is something we want to do more of in the future as a company.”

Creator and lead engineer in the development of game cartridges as a way to hold games instead of pre-built into a console died on Sunday, April 10.
Jerry Lawson worked on the development team behind the Fairchild Channel F console in 1976 which ended up being the first console to use swappable game cartridges. Before this system, most consoles either had pre-built games or used floppy cards to help boot the program (game wasn't on the floppy itself).
Atari would end up using this idea behind the Atari 2600 which ended up becoming the first very successful game console with the mainstream consumers.
