Electronic Arts has killed BioWare, canceling its early in development Mass Effect project and closing the revered RPG studio for good.

    It doesn’t matter what EA does because no one should buy EA games anyways.

    They were already a shitty company before the Saudis bought them, if anyone is still dumb enough to buy their games, they deserve the slop they get.

    The video game industry is heading for a crash. I can feel it.

      Shame we won’t have any defining game that will be buried in a landfill this time around.

          It’s more so that crashing a market helps consolidate ownership so it’s advantageous to do it if you have capital.

          Thus the reason it is a common phrase among millenials to say “EA is the Devil”

      Nope, no one indeed.

      However, I can’t even be disappointed that the studio has closed. To me the studio has been dead for a long while now since EA’s acquisition and the co-founders leaving.

      I certainly didn’t expect it to take this long, so that’s something…

    You recalled me about Bullfrog. They killed it. Bastards!

      Bullfrog was legendary, but considering what Peter Molyneux’s got up to after leaving I don’t think they had much more left in them even if EA hadn’t bought them.
