well just last week i believe bioware staff were posting pics on twitter about how they've reached a milestone and everything's going very well for the game, only to have the lead animator leave the studio. Hope this isn't another cancellation/studio closure in the making.
On the other hand, it seems the guy left since august? (According to the linkedin profile anyways).

My most anticipated game on X1X I'm really looking forward to this game hope everything is OK over

Dont think one guy leaving is an issue, even if he is lead, no one is irreplaceable in business

and?
people change job every day...

Seriously, one fairly senior guy leaves towards the latter part of the development cycle and people start fearing for cancellations and development hell of the entire multi-million pound project?

I mean, there could be issues but this doesn't indicate that at all.

EA.....what did you do now?

Guessing this new Star Wars game will be replacing Anthem altogether now

Anthem honestly looks awful to me. It totally looks like a counter to Destiny and I don't need Destiny counters. I need games that are the exact opposite of Destiny.

EA is falling apart

I really don't have very high expectations of anything Bioware makes at this point. Maybe they'll replace him with an Andromeda animator, lol.

EA is a garbage publisher as for Bioware their good will is running out Dragon Age Inquisition was ok but they have been in a steady decline for a while EA ruins most good developers or shuts them down.

There really isn't a way to downplay this. A game that's barely been shown off and won't be coming out for a significant amount of time has an important person leave the company. That casts a lot of doubt on the game because we've seen games go downhill after it changes hands/directions.

Someone leaves Bioware during development of a major title...What else is new? Bioware just isn't the same anymore. Really hope Anthem proves me otherwise.

Oh, say, can you ..animate?

Game is gonna be a huge mess. I’m calling it now.

We had two Leads leave within weeks of each other, right when things were actually looking up. One or two people leaving often has little to do with the health of a project or company. I don't see how a personal decision to migrate to another studio is newsworthy.

The End is Nigh, Bioware. 😆😆😆

this game will have good visuals. that is all

High hopes for this game. Hopefully its a return to form for Bioware. The game looked really good and had some really cool looking mechanics like exploring underwater and stuff. I'm gonna approach it with caution here's hoping they convince me to buy it by releasing a quality title.

uh oh EA strikes again

How long before bioware gets added to EA's graveyard

Good for him , and better luck on his future job !

I think its only a matter of time before Casey Hudson leaves again

rut row

In terms of hype versus actual quality, i'm getting a 'division' feeling with this one.

Well this is how Mass Effect started going down the tubes people bailing out.

This seems to be a trend

I want to pre-order this, but it's an BioWare game....

This is a bad sign..same thing happened with MEA.

Probably need to reign back expectations after the last Mass Effect, how it looked before & after.
Plus they've lost a lot of talented people.
