BioWare has been releasing shite for over a decade now. ME:Andromeda, Anthem and Veilguard were all unmitigated disasters. At some point enough is enough and while it is yet another shitty move from a huge publisher, it’s one of the more understandable ones recently
There’s a strangely childlike sadness I feel about BioWare closing. Not necessarily because of what the studio is today, but because of what it represented to me growing up. In some way, its continued existence felt like a tether to my childhood, as though a small piece of that time was still alive in the present. As long as BioWare was around, it felt like that chapter of my life hadn’t entirely closed.
And yet, I can look at this rationally. The BioWare I fell in love with arguably ceased to exist a long time ago. They haven’t produced anything that captures that same magic in well over a decade, and I can understand how things eventually reached this point. In that sense, the closure isn’t entirely surprising, perhaps not even undeserved from a business perspective.
My only true regret over this announcement is the thought that dragon age and mass effect, two of my all tine favorite franchises, are probably done and will continue their slow fade into obscurity.
