Canadian politicians call to save BioWare after closure by Electronic Arts🚀 ✅Avi Lewis, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, publicly condemned the closure, criticizing private equity for stripping businesses for short-term profit. ✅Lewis advocated for federal support to allow BioWare's developers to purchase and run the studio independently. ✅His stance aligns with his broader political platform against international buyouts, prompting followers to joke about nationalizing the game developer. ✅Demonstrating his familiarity with the studio's legacy, Lewis shared online that his personal favorite is Mass Effect 1 on the PS3. “This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity—and the federal support—to buy it and run it themselves. And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in.” — Avi Lewis
