Out of the games listed in bold. Not one of those franchises have had a hit in the last 15 years. Which is a shame. Some of my favorite games of all time. But id were being honest the same people who made those games do not work at there anymore

Putting anthem on that list is crazy. That’s probably how we got here. They know anthem marks the beginning of the end for them right?

It wasn't even just Anthem.

It was Anthem and Andromeda.

Game play has never really been their problem, they couldn't ripcord and pull Anthem around soon enough on the end game narrative and game cycle. The writing on Andromeda was not fully up to spec through the red lense of their prior games.

Andromeda wasn't "main" Bioware studio. but BioWare Montreal that was merged into another EA studio.

yes but when you have 2 studios that functionally had the same problem, you have a leadership problem of that studio.
