This will lead to inevitable breakdowns in this thread due to "Bioware is dead", However shit just got real

The Co-Founders of Bioware Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka are leaving Bioware due to unspecified reasons, This is a serious blow to both Bioware and EA, I earnestly hope they recover although at this point statistics seem slim.

And I get the feeling there won't be a clear answer to this for some time. EA likely wouldn't approve of the reason, be it petty or not, getting out.

Not too sure if it's really a bad thing though, because recently a lot of the games were made with them only acting as producers or "assistant directors". So it's not that big of a loss to Bioware as some might think.

The biggest bit of that story was the use of the Frostbite engine for DA 3.

So, in before the inevitable, "Dragon Age 3 is Battlefield 3 without Guns", tongue

Um... they did specify. On Bio Ware's actual blog. See here, here and here.

Can we actually research stuff before making sensationalist O Ps?

The sites I frequent said they're leaving the industry, not just BioWare.

Great, now I want a class-based Fantasy-RPG first-person action multiplayer.

EMPHASIS. SILLYNESS. PICK EITHER.

ALRIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD. IT'S ON STEAM for 10 bucks, BUT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNEW THAT.

Oh wait, you can get the Dark Messiah demo for free. :V

I'm very sorry that it happened but I am simultaneously quite pleased that I accidentally derailed the thread into utter silliness and talking about a game developed by a completely different company. :V
