EA employees are speaking out about mismanagement, GenAI push and BioWare’s closure🚀

✅Employees report that the "do less, better" mantra has simply resulted in handling the same workload with fewer staff.

✅Upper management is heavily promoting generative AI (specifically Claude), telling staff that adoption is mandatory for the future.

✅Workers believe the technology is being pushed to test how drastically EA can cut headcount while maintaining output.
BioWare’s Decline & Closure

✅BioWare was repeatedly forced to abandon its strengths (narrative choice, consequences, companions) to chase unprofitable live-service and multiplayer trends, wasting significant resources.

✅Studio leadership grew overly reliant on user experience research (UXR) and fear-driven decision-making, stifling creative risk-taking before the studio's closure.

Disappointed, but definitely not surprised. So much of what’s said reflects very much how many of us felt, as it was quite obvious for the last 10-15 years.

Risk-averse development, “do less” mentality, cost-cutting..etc.

I feel really bad for the studios and talents that had to be suffocated under EA’s mentality. It’s obvious what kind of people they were ever since they tried to gaslight gamers into thinking single player gaming to be dead.

@nasuyasu Secondly, imagine ideal situation - kickstarter runned by somebody gains huge amount of money. And they negotiate to just restore Bioware as it was inside EA, or some other unfavorable decision.

[Arc75 #SaveMassEffect @Arc__75]

@nasuyasu It might become a big problem when we talk about money. Firstly, initiator will have to become full-time responsible for advertisements, contacts, negotiations. Hence, it has to be somebody who is already a known person in the industry, somebody from the developers themselves

@Astralaeyna @austinjbooks We could've also have a discord server. It would simplify coordination and some group actions

I haven't seen the trailer posted for a couple of days, so I'm re-posting it so you don't forget it.

@GamesRadar It might be an important context to note that during the covid microsoft hired aprox 50000 people to expand online services.

@MeLikesCh33se I imagine people hate me for posting #SaveMassEffect in every overwatch match...

[Arc75 #SaveMassEffect @Arc__75]

@PSoLCs1 @austinjbooks Completely agree. Not only DAV was going wrong. EA wouldnt close a fully successful studio. Course needs correction. But if Bioware wont be saved, there will be nothing to correct. Lets focus on undoing the closure and cancellation.

@PSoLCs1 @austinjbooks It is completely fair. However, its worth noting, that it was a cultural period, where the agenda was radiated isostatically, not only in DAV. I believe, this times passed and it is no longer a hot topic. Sabotaging #SaveMassEffect campaign for this cause doesn't make sense

[Arc75 #SaveMassEffect @Arc__75]

@_Saretz Sorry, I confused your opinion for other's.
I dont have illusion about "sane minds". I am quite aware that the majority, especially on twitter, are actually not sane in general.

[Sam #SaveMassEffect @adraeor]

Let's be honest, this kind of tweet is unneccessary and unhelpful. Nobody is forcing anyone to get involved. If you don't think it will work, fine. Go about your day. Let us try, but leave your negativity out of it please. #SaveMassEffect
