EA is shutting down BioWare.
After more than 30 years, the studio behind Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Anthem is closing its doors.
The next Mass Effect was also in early development, but EA has now cancelled the project.
Around 400 EA employees are being laid off, including roughly 50 at BioWare.
I mean, @bioware earned it. You rarely see such dogged dedication towards tanking a company. A lot of companies will slip up and succeed once in a while by pure accident. But Bioware started from everything and tirelessly worked to build themselves into a tax write-off. Congrats.
