    fr. They haven’t done anything even remotely good approximately since 2014. Either ea managers got very intrusive, all the competent people left, or a mix or both. Anyway, their shut off was long overdue. I see some people worry about the fact that so many people yet again lose their job, but i honestly can’t attribute myself to one of them. Every time a competent and passionate gamedev leaves a AAA game studio, a new indie studio is made.

      The remaining 2 of the 3 founders left 2012 or 2013, after ME3. No idea how much the other staff changed, but I suspect that was the tipping point.

      Every time a competent and passionate gamedev leaves a AAA game studio, a new indie studio is made.

      Unless of course they can’t afford to start a new indie studio and have to pick up a trade that actually pays the bills. Gamedev is the worst part of the software industry to work in sadly.
