RIP to one of the most legendary studios of all time. It's a shame how they became a shell of their former selves the last decade or so. Fuck EA.

EA killed Origin, Westwood, Bullfrog and many other phenomenal studios of their time. Add Bioware (BIOWARE!?!) to the list.

Diabolical.

Except that isn't true. People forgot that these studio's while under the EA flag were pretty autonomous and could make their own decisions. The fact that some of these games did poorly, were fully developer choices, not EA corporate choices.

The choice to close bioware also wasn't EA's decision but the Saudi owners decision as they were bought by the Saudi's in august. That Saudi take over also left EA with a massive debt.

“It wasn’t EA. It was the people who now own EA.” So it was EA.
