But Mass Effect 3 was their last truly great game. Inquisition was very contentious but it did have SOME fans, but their next games were too busy chasing trends instead of sticking to their bread and butter. Each subsequent game doubled and tripled down on the things people didn't care about, while not trying to go back to their roots.
Hopefully the devs can transition into more indy companies, so that they can make the games they want for the niche communities they want to appeal to and not be tied to huge budgets, expecting even larger returns,
The ending and how it was Casey Hudson that pushed for it was the sign to me that BioWare was dying. Since then everything from them has been increasingly worse and veilguard being the epitome of it now. It wasn’t the same team and minds in the end, probably better that they don’t destroy what little is left of Mass Effect- though I’m sad we may never see the universe again

I'd never celebrate people losing their jobs.
