I'm betting that "we" aren't even the people/bosses that allowed their existence.

Pre-Saudi Purchase EA seemed squarely willing to support Bioware no matter what because those bosses seemed to believe in "Bioware-magic". The Post-Saudi Purchase EA bosses clearly do not share that faith in the Bioware-magic.

So we're passing the blame to the Saudis and not the developers who put out 3 underperforming games

The developers only develop what ppl in charge allow and instruct them too. The Saudis had nothing to do with it. Just poor management from start to finish after the old heads left

Bioware didn't even want to keep flying in Anthem until the EA exec basically forced them to,  and it was the only part of the game that got praise. 

Bioware has been a sinking ship,  don't try to excuse the devs for their poor decisions.
