Honestly the studio was just a shell of it's former self. I mean the latest dragon age shows it.

Been coming for a long time. This news will throw old gamers for a loop (millenials and older gens) but bioware hasn't been BIOWARE since 2015. Lots of unsuccessful titles, games in development looked expensive.

It’s not throwing me for a loop. BioWare hasn’t been BioWare for a very very long time. Andromeda was the start of the fall and I pretty much wrote them off after Anthem.

I enjoyed Andromeda and Inquisition a lot even if the drop was obvious.
