Bioware Closing Doors.

[Tawmis]

EA did a lay off and closed the BIOWARE division and cancelled all BIOWARE products (which included the next Mass Effect game that was in production).

I am stunned. Lay offs everywhere... but closing Bioware seems wild to me.

This is terrible news. The writing was on the wall when EA got bought out by private equity and the last few Bioware titles have stumbled, though most of this may have been because of EA's interference. 30 years of history. For me it was Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, and the Mass Effect trilogy. I think the first Mass Effect may be my all-time favorite game. I probably sank more time in that than any other single-player game.

It seems like EA just ruins everything they touch. They buy a developer, the quality goes down, and the developer shutters.
