EA isn’t blameless, as they want more money and forced Frostbite on them (which led to some of their dev problems), but I have a hard time saying EA ruined BioWare when there are only 2 games they made that I love pre EA purchase (Jade Empire and Kotor… though obviously ME1 was, as mentioned, done before the sale). EA has fucked up a lot of things over the years, but BioWare’s issues IMO are on BioWare and its leadership. ... especially since we know Anthem being a live service looter shooter was BioWare’s idea.

I was so mad reading how botched Anthem was cause if the game directors just bothered to create a vision for the game during their preproduction and actually nail down plans then the devs would’ve been able to create a game instead of essentially a demo.
It’s kind of not a surprise it ended up how it did and it’s a shame because flying around and blowing stuff up was fun for a while.
Utterly not shocking. It was only a matter of time after they scrapped the 2.0 update. However it’s honestly kind of bullshit that huge gaming companies can simply nullify a purchase by making it straight up unplayable.

could have been a great Iron Man Simulator if they just designed it with an engaging endgame.
Andromeda, Anthem and then Veilgaurd are all divisive at least. Sales were disappointing for all of them.
