That's a very EA thing to do. Throw one of your best IPs in the toilet.

College football also rumored to be going away again in the next few years.

Who knew a Dragon Age tranny simulator wouldn't have been as successful as KOTOR and the next Mass Effect?

Imposters that are Bioware in name only are being shut down.

The actual Bioware that made the greatness that is Mass Effect is just making their own game, Exodus

BioWare has not been BioWare in over over a decade.

They had one last shot to prove themselves with Veilguard, and they failed utterly.

There's plenty of blame to go around from EA, to the founders for selling out in the first place, to the arrogance of BioWare senior management.

The mass effect game they announced like 6 years ago was only in early development. What exactly do these companies even do at work?

I'm still mad about Anthem. That game was fun as hell...for like 10 hours.

Absolutely insane that Anthem 2.0 was canceled and they never tried to resurrect it.

Disappointing, but not surprising. At least they got in front of it before N7 Day.

RIP Mass Effect.

This is the least surprising announcement in the history of least surprising announcements.

This is actually a favorite topic of mine.

The answer, I assume, is "not much."

Individual contributors consist of a bunch of passionless frickwads that cry under the table if they have to work past 5:10 PM who just follow a script for their day to day tasks and do not deviate in any way whatsoever.

Senior leadership, who add no value, inventing layers of bureaucracy in order to justify their own paychecks.

That said, I hope some of the early work on the new ME gets leaked as I'm interested to know what that game wouldve been like.
