Varric would not stand for this.

Among the recent layoffs at BioWare was Mary Kirby, creator of Varric and some of the best characters of DA:I

Considering that DA veteran David Gaider left ages ago, I do not have much hope left for the next DA game. BioWare may have hung on a little bit longer than other EA studios, but it looks like the notorious mismanagement by EA will get it too.

What do you want us to do? We cut their funding, we forced them into layoffs, we demanded unrealistic timelines, we have zero idea of how single player games are made, we’ve mismanaged the IP and done nothing with it for a decade now - and they still won’t be profitable!

Well, another Mass Effect now looks less likely.

How many people work at Bioware right now? I wonder how big of a cut it is for the company.

Last I heard they had some 250 headcount and they just did 50 layoffs. Bioware was already on life support and ea is just playing with the plug
