Very true. I love dumping on EA as much as anyone. But shockingly enough, they kept Bioware funded WAY longer than I thought they had any right to ask.
You can't push flop after flop for over a decade and somehow get another more hundreds of millions to fund the next likely flop.
I recall during the Anthem deep-dives that suggested the guys from EA had to encourage the devs to leave/implement flying into the game, so the only good thing about that game was a result of EA’s intervention lmao
Really? That's crazy. I thought it was Bioware's idea lol. It's a no brainer for that game tbh. They literally made Ironman the game. How do you not include flying?
Bioware is such a strange beast. They used to have incredible ideas. Their Bioware formula was peerless back in the day. But after DA Inquisition, they lost any connection to the original vision outside of the name.

If you read the behind the scenes accounts of what was going on at Bioware, all their problems were their own, not EA's.
Anthem for example, was all Bioware and their atrocious managements fault. This not an EA thing, Bioware just gravely lost their way
