Bioware Employees Say That Without EA, They Would Have Closed

What exactly is the relationship between Bioware and EA? How much control does EA have over the dev team?

When gamers think about Bioware, they can’t help but think of the massive RPG spectacles that they make like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. But, gamers also know that as great as they are, they’re also prone to making mistakes. One of them was last years Mass Effect Andromeda, leading many to think that EA was pushing for the games’ release instead of it going through the proper steps to completion.

At a panel at Haven Con, and documented on Reddit, this was proven to not be the case. For several former employees were at the con and noted that if EA hadn’t stepped in they would have folded as a developer because they were out of money. What’s more, EA doesn’t push for certain things to happen. Instead, they ask the question of “Do you think you can do it right?”. Yes, money is important to them, but it’s clear, at least in their treatment of Bioware, that they want good games above all else.
