They were the new "it" developer during the beginning of gen 7 and achieve mass success with mass effect and dragon age origins, turning the trend from jrpgs to wrpgs

Haven't heard from them since they finished both trilogies

they continually strayed further and further from what built up their reputation in the first place in an attempt to make EA guided mass market blockbusters

EA happened.
The people who worked there during the DAO and ME1 successes went on to make Torment: Tides of Numenera and Pillars of Eternity.

Andromeda stained the reputation. Anthem nuked the remains.

They've got more games coming out, but it's hard to overstate just how bad Anthem flopped

Which is a shame because the concept was great, and the combat and mechanics were very fun.

A prime example of over promising, under utilizing your team, and not knowing your customer base.
Combined with corporate meddling

Anthem suffered the same fate as Andromeda really.

It basically suffered a hard reset, from the ground up 18 months before launch. That first Anthem E3 trailer? The way I've heard it, is they essentially scrapped all their work up to that point (E3 trailer premiere) and started over.

Heard the same thing happened with Andromeda.

Short answer: EA

Long answer: EA fucked with them. Most of the senior good devs left the company.

Remember that time Anthem was fun and Bioware was like "oops that's a bug we have to patch that"

EA happened but I'm pretty sure BioWare made a lot of poor decisions all on their own with Andromeda and Anthem.

I remember when they were bought by EA. Global (one of the news networks here) Edmonton was in a snit because Bioware didn't immediately respond to a request for an interview and the anchor Gord Steinke quipped "they're probably too busy talking to Bono." It's one of the few times I ever heard him sounding pissed.

I'll have hope that ME4 and DA4 will be good, but if they fail those games, I'll lose all faith in the studio.

They EA'd themselves just like they EA'd so many other companies.
