  It’s on Bioware not EA. This is the third flop out of Bioware, and the post mortems for the past failures have all indicated that Bioware’s management has a dumpster fire for years, with EA often uncharacteristically serving as a voice of reason to protect them from their own mistakes.

    “EA said, ‘Make this a live service.’ We said, ‘We don’t know how to do that. We should basically start the project over.’”

    I read this article as EA interference to the point that the games were made to suck ass.

    We’re past the point of adding gambling and live service. Consumers are more savvy imo.

    Honestly, closing down bioware would be a mercy-killing at this point.

    This is what happens when creators let people who don’t care infect their art.
