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,
I will fight tooth and nail that Inquisition is actually the best Dragon Age... But otherwise, I honestly fully agree.
Since Inquisition they made Andromeda which was just a bit of a flop. Anthem which was hot garbage. And then Veilguard which went all the way past garbage to genuinely abyssmal.
That's 3 strikes in a row, three bad chances. The writing was on the wall here.

I'd never celebrate people losing their jobs.
