NEWS EA's Garbage Statement on the Closure

https://www.ea.com/news/building-eas-next-chapter

TL;DR

They're laying people off and canceling projects, and they're up their own ass about it

i mean this sucks, it really does, and i hate to play devils advocate to fucking EA of all things, but i think people need to keep in mind that EA is a business that needs to eventually profit. BioWare has been struggling to make decent games as of recent times, and i think it makes sense to metaphorically send the old dog to a farm up north.

At least potential confirmation of SW Battlefront 3 lightens the mood somewhat

This sub is very much a small echochamber so a lot of opinions just get snowballed.

The sad truth is that Bioware holds just as much blame. It was them fucking up Anthem and Andromeda that made EA micromanage Veilguard and fuck it up as well. Near a decade without a decent project, it was bound to happen. No one even expected much of the new Mass Effect either due to it.
