  1. I’m sorry people are losing their jobs
  2. EA played a major part in the poor performance of their last 3 games
  3. Let’s not act like BioWare are entirely blameless, a lot of the staff that made their games iconic left and they’ve been making crap for 3 games straight.

As to my last point: dragon age origins for me is up there with BG3 in terms of great RPGs, I absolutely adored the art style, the way the characters interacted and the world created. I launched into dragon age veilguard when it came out as a huge fan of the series and it was honestly one of the most jarring games I’ve ever played, it was like the people at the studio hated everything the series had been and went out of their way to annoy old fans. There’s innovation and then there’s self mutilation. BioWare as we knew it was gone long before EA shut it down

BG3 was like a spiritual successor to Origins. It’s basically the same formula.

Dragon Age Origins was the spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter nights, so it’s come full circle.

Having played Origins and Divinity Original Sin 1+2, BG3 is the successor to Divinity Original Sin 2.

Except the writing is terrible in BG3, and the story nonsensical.
