Going to be honeat that was all on EA. Profit first mindset doesn't make good games. It makes buggy unfinished product but since the devs take the hate they likely dont care. Just buy another studio and destroy what made them special.

Look up the story of Anthem. There are countless articles. Absolutely NOT on "all on EA".

nah, facts and history is bad for these "EA killed the studio for no reason" ppl, legit trying to act like EA shut down Bioware for no reason at all -_-

as you say, with Anthem we literally have information on it's development hell and how it was NOT EA at all that resulted in that shit game, it was bioware.

The studio had 3 HUGE financial flops in a row. They wouldn't have survived that as an indy either.

yup, apparently that information is nothing and Bioware had nothing to do with being shut down, just insane stuff with some ppl

The real issue, of course, is the cost of AAA games. Basically one bad flop can end a successful company. And the thing is games like Andromeda weren't even that bad, but "not that bad" isn't good enough with the budgets we're talking about.
