I can see your point, however, considering the entire state of the industry, I believe EA would have made this move even without being bought

Yeah, Bioware had been struggling with their games for over a decade. It's been a known possibility for a while now.

I don't know. The reason why they closed it was the cost of keeping the studio running. If BW was willing to use GenAI they could have kept it open, and run it on a skeleton crew, using GenAI to create the game
