I don’t understand how what EA does isn’t just a straight up crime. There has to be some kind of checks and balances that prevent a corporation from buying another profitable corporation and making it unprofitable on purpose almost immediately every single time.
Nah this is like 95% BioWares own fault. Anthem was their own idea and would’ve been even worse without EA arguing to keep the flying in which was the one fun part of that game. Andromeda was entirely self-inflicted wounds and EA was willing to give more time and money but BW said no. Veilguard was all BW’s own ineptitude and probably only made it out the door due to EA. They strangled their only profitable product for years in SWTOR and almost killed that by never investing any development into it.
I’m as sad as anyone but this is deserved for the company. If it was independent it would’ve closed down years ago. I wish the individual members had options to transfer to other studios inside EA so I’m not for people just being fired, but BioWare as an entity was well past times to be put fown
