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

Recent my ass, Bioware has been struggling for more than a decade at this point. Actually way longer depending on how you look at it.

It’s insane that ever since dragon age inquisition, 12 years ago, they have only made 3 games. Andromeda which is uh, yeah, a game that exists. Anthem, which is a game that doesn’t exist. And dragon age veilguard, which killed the franchise. They made one game for every 4 years and they were back to back failures. Frankly this was a long time coming for BioWare.

Andromeda was overhated. People expected the trilogy but there was no way it would ever live up to that.

It's a decent game that people should still play.
