Im not incredibly upset... the talent who made the games they listed are already gone. But its just the sign of the times. American/western gaming is on life support
Bioware still had the talent, that's what's so tragic. It just got utterly squandered by EA's bone-headed live-service nonsense demands. That's half the reason DA:V and Anthem ended up the way that they did.
Completely WRONG. There have been plenty of evidence that if it wasn't for EA, the studio would have closed doors long before that. EA, of all publishers, on the contrary gave way too much leeway and had way too much tolerance for Bioware's bullshit. There wasn't any talent remaining and you'd have to be crazy to believe otherwise after seeing what the last Dragon Age turned out to be ...
It's pretty well-documented at this point that a large part of the reason DA:V was such a middling flop was because it got rebooted to be a live-service (at EA's behest), and then rebooted again to move it back to single-player after Anthem crashed and burned. So I'm not as willing to lay that mess entirely at the feet of Bioware. EA can keep their corporate profit-chasing meddling and shove it.

Anyone paying attention saw this coming for a long time now. Still sad to see it happen and I hope the best for those that lost their jobs.
