erazog rgd1101 said: their games just isn't as good after EA bought them Well what happened was most of the staff that made Bioware good left, just people moving on in life, what remained was called Bioware but not in soul with the studio being re-staffed it just never made games anywhere near as good. Its surprising EA let it go on as long as they did without any major hits. Reply

ezst036 EA killed Westwood too. That's really the one that gets me. BioWare is very sad but its expected at this point. Reply

bigdragon Bioware can pick their gravesite in the EA graveyard. There are spots next to Westwood, Origin Systems, Bullfrog, and Maxis available. We really need to get enthusiasts in charge of industries. So many perfectly viable companies are getting wrecked by MBAs that are treating these institutions like trading cards instead of Legos.

Be willing to take pay cuts. If you and the crew will do it for less, do it for the love, it'll endure. Human greed is powerful though, even most enthusiasts will balk at this reality and will prefer the higher pay over the nostalgia. Getting enthusiasts in charge of these industries is a non-starter. You might get one or two people but you aren't going to get a team. Reply

Ahh, I remember Bullfrog from my Amiga days, Syndicate for one. Reply
