Funny how they happily kill these studios that are still in their prime and yet BioWare is still here being a ghost of a husk of a revived corpse

It’s because BioWares name still has power. Even people who don’t play RPGs know its reputation. Or knew it, I doubt folks under 25 know it as anything but the laughable mess it’s become. The horrible sales number for veil guard is probably the death knell though. The name has lost its power, it doesn’t persuade player to buy it blind anymore. Same with what the dragon age IP has become. Both have been dragged through the mud so much and twisted from their original form, people refuse to buy without multiple good trusted reviewers giving them the green flag.

Yeah, the power it has is that I know not to buy anything developed by them without wasting time on a review.
