| AngryLittleAlchemist said: I think in the process of EA killing of a lot of developers people are getting a little blind-sided here. Even though from what I know EA's justification for cancelling their other studios was more or less bullshit, if EA closed Bioware it honestly would be deserved. Bioware has many, many, many problems and at least half of them are about the studio and not the company that publishes their games. People have tried to brand every issue with any EA studio as a fault of EA, yet other developers like Respawn Entertainment are getting a huge amount of support and more post-launch marketing than most developers would get. EA might not be making better games but in some ways they're improving and if Bioware closed after Anthem failed? Sorry, that's on Bioware. Maybe their legacy would have been better under another publisher, but they're simply too inconsistent a company(and yes, I know they have different studios). |
Respawn Entertainment is an independent company, EA merely publishes for them. They are not under the control of EA.
Care to list the issues with the main BioWare dev? Cause the BioWare most people know and think of last released Dragon Age Inquisition, which did very well critically and commercially. And is of course, working on Anthem. Mass Effect Andromeda is the result of EA just not being willing to leave well enough alone and wanting to milk a franchise that was pretty concisely wrapped up but also wanting BioWare propper to make a new franchise.
As for Anthem, we'll see what it's like. But if it is a lootbox riddled, milktoast, blatantly-focus tested Destiny-esque pseudo open shooter with a lame story and forced multiplayer and gobs of microtransactions...well I HIGHLY doubt that would be BioWare's idea given their past several releases. As a subsidiary of EA, they take their marching orders from them.
