On life support? Nope, Bioware is just one company whose death we saw coming for years. Since the 360 era, the indie market has blown up and many good games and franchises has come out since then.
Western gaming no longer relies on the Big Three & it's partners to thrive, and that is good.
30+ devs have closed since 2022 due to corporations laying them off and shutting down studuos. And 25% of the workforce has left game development all together.
Honestly any company engaged in creative endeavors is going to struggle to keep catching lightening in a bottle for that long. Mix in corporate interference and personnel loss and it's incredibly difficult.
