From much of the religion to beloved Varick. Ain't a good sign. https://twitter.com/BioMaryKirby/status/1694425409499340890 Several senior staff as well apparently.

Punished_Blinx 08/24/23 12:36:45 AM #57:	Larian is a good replacement for Baldurs Gate and Dragon Age but still nothing comparable to Star Wars KOTOR and Mass Effect. --- A Fallen Mascot <cite>Punished_Blinx posted [p:975627820] in BioWare "R...

Youll never get any KOTOR equivalent as EA has the Star Wars license exclusively. Mass Effect, eh. I played the first one. It was OK. Everyone said there were even less RPG elements in the second one, so I never played it. --- Console war in a nutshell: http://imgur.com/xA6GJZ9.png <cite>PraetorXyn posted [p:975627946] in BioWare "R...

Dark_Arbron 08/24/23 4:34:53 AM #60:	Best thing to do when a developer gets bought by EA is to declare it dead up front. That way you get a head start on the grieving process and by the time they actually get closed its just a formality. --- "The US is not a single country.

DUKLegend 08/24/23 5:54:49 AM #62:	Honestly, the gaming industry doesn't need Bioware anyway. Obsidian, Larian, CDPR (I know they messed up, but they're working hard to right wrongs) are all doing what Bioware did and carrying that banner forward.
