Bullfrog was one of my favorite developers until they disappeared behind the veil of EA.

They already have

EA = Real life version of hell.

They already did. The current Bioware is not Bioware.

Isn't it the case already ?

Is going to? Lol, try "already have".

Going to? Aren't they already dead

Bioware are screwed, the producer of Dragon Age 4 has left so I have already resigned myself to the fact that DA4 if it gets released at all will underwhelm.

Bioware's issues date far back before EA came in. Bioware had abusive practices to their workers and the "Bioware magic" is simply forcing and will themselves at the last minute to pull through to make the games that we agree that are good. Stress casualties, incompetent leaders. I had no idea Jade Empire and Mass Effect 1 were made in blood and depression. Damn near makes me sick thinking about it.

EA needs to do something with Bioware because DA4 will be made in blood once again. I don't believe they're gonna change if they have the same management it doesn't always work that way they need a completely new leaders in their with new policies.

I hope EA rebrands soon. Everyone needs. Re brand at some point.

Eventually EA will be EA Sports again. They are going to kill EVERY DEVELOPER under their wings and make only FIFA, MADDEN, NBA LIVE, NHL, NCAA, UFC and MAYBE a new Fight Night.

BioWare killed BioWare. A game 10 years in development and you couldn’t even come up with what the game was going to be? EA did what any publisher would do in that scenario, they demanded BioWare to produce results.

Yea, if I were EA I’d definitely be firing some folks.

Creed, Nickelback sells millions and millions of albums...yet everyone claims to hate them. Call of Duty is the top selling game every year, yet everyone hates Call of Duty...well now every one is claiming they love them again with this new Modern Warfare. And Apex. Easily EA's biggest property at the moment. My friends list at any given time shows most playing Apex (or Fortnite). Yet everyone wants to bag Respawn and EA. ( I do too over Microtransactions, but I'm referring to the game right now). I happen to enjoy everything listed here inspite the hate. EA overall makes me sick, but I like Apex. My point is stop talking about doom and gloom when something is white hot popular. It is silly. (Let the down votes rain upon me!! LOL.)

Codswallop.

Bioware killed Bioware.

Doesn't matter anymore, anyone who was part of the "Bioware Magic" is long gone by now.

BioWare is dead. Was it due to EA? Probably. But EA is also the only thing keeping them on life support. Why they disbanded visceral and continue to back this failed social experiment is one question that will always bother me.

I actually think there's a good chance that EA is going to step back and let bioware make an amazing single player game with DA 4. And I also think it's possible that this will be one of their best games ever. To be honest if it doesn't end up being game of the year material they may be on their way out after.

EA was Awesome pretty much all last Gen, this Gen... Definitely not.

Already happened EA are dragging a dead donkey.

Going to kill? I think that boat has already sank.

"Going to"?

Nooooooo not EA. (fake Voice)

EA has killed Bioware already!

Correct me if I'm wrong. But didn't they already do that?

EA gets devs to make games with bs business practices, does not give them enough development time, sees that their games are received terribly, proceeds to shut company down..

Correction, Bioware is going to kill Bioware. They already have. They F'd up Mass Effect, pissed away all potential that Anthem had, and now too they will destroy Dragon Age. They will have nothing left, and we will see the Austin Studio closed VERY VERY soon, followed by the Edmunton studio. Bioware is a dead studio walking.

Bioware has been dead since Dragon Age 2. It’s all been down hill after that. Bioware is so dead and useless that even if they announced Star Wars KOTOR 3 I wouldn’t care at all and I use to love KOTOR

"EA is going to let BioWare kill itself". Fixed that for you.

It's already dead. Has been for a few years.

Going to? They already have.

Is anyone surprised? EA kills everything it touches.
And to be fair, the only great Dragon Age was DA: Origins. I tried to play each one of the sequels, but they were all terrible. Ditching the strategy of the first game for a more action oriented gameplay ruined the series.

Already dead

EA is gonna kill all of them

The founders of Bioware retiring may have killed them just as much as EA buying them.

How can EA kill something that's already dead ???? … sure it was EA that committed the crime, but it's past tense, they're DOA, let the coroner take the carcass

They already have

Can't believe people are STILL defending EA.

Going to you say?

as soon as they created the online pass(project ten dollar) in 2009 they ruined gaming

they killed it already. a little late to the party, aren't you?

Bioware killed themselves. EA will just do the finishing blow.

I think Bioware is doing a good enough job of that without EA's help. EA is just exasperating a preexisting issue.

EA always put out good games million enjoy. a vocal minority on the internet means jack all

You can’t killed what is already dead. You also can’t beat a dead horse but EA is fine with selling the glue byproduct to addicts who no longer can use reason.

Today on, "Baseless, fearmongering accusations..."

"EA Is Going To Kill BioWare" - bullshit, BioWare have always done games full of bug's and problems, they have been worse and worse as time goes by, even before the were bought by EA.

EA will get the fatality, If DA4 is going to be a live service.

Going to? You can't kill what's already dead.

Bioware is already killed.

Maybe Sony can buy Bioware to save it and turn it around.

Shurgs, I mean after Andromeda and especially after Anthem....Does it really matter...and with Apex coming out and being decent, maybe Bioware should get the Ax....

Press F for Bioware

From my understanding BioWare is already dead. The old developers left, and EA hired a diverse bunch of unqualified people who can't handle the work load and take two months sick leave for "stress".

"is going to"

Bioware is going to kill Bioware, as easy as it is to blame EA, truth is Bioware is a shell of its former self.

BOOOO, Love how you blame EA for a developers mistakes.,

In a way, it already has. While Bioware might exist in name, but the people who made it what it is have since left the company.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
