Doctors Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka, the founders of Bioware, retire

Sad day really. Even though Bioware is only a shell of it's former self, these guys were monumental figures in the gaming world. Not only are they leaving Bioware, but they are leaving games entirely.

So there you have it.

In my honest opinion, I have no doubt their departure is because of EAs doing. I can only imagine any negative **** that Bioware has done was thanks to the the directions specified by EA, with pricing of DLC, with the rushed release deadlines, with the directions to lock all threads about the negativity towards ME3s ending, all being blamed on Bioware. Whilst EA was apparently ignorant of its sub companies dealing with fans lasing back and had no dealings with how they wanted to do with the games.

Bioware was a company that inspired me, it was a company that tried to bring epic and close tales to you, whilst allowing you to still feel powerful as a gamer during gameplay moments. Where your input could actually change how things end for you and those around you. It was so grounded and the literary skills in the scripts are jusst grand.

To know Greg and Ray have felt the pressure that they can't take any more, for the company they loved and started together and leave it behind them, I can only imagine they don't even recognise BioWare any more, from before EA, otherwise I doubt they would've given up as easily.

I am just so angry at this. At all of it. Atleast before I thoguht Bioware could keep its head above the EA flood of ****, but now without Greg and Ray, things can change so quickly, idk any more....
