a lot of people are probably asking you this, but if they aren’t… do you have any clue what’s going on with bioware? first moving swtor to another studio, which seems like it can be both a good or a bad thing, and now they’re laying off 50 more people? studio veterans included? this just seems like a very weird move to me, if not outright shitty. i want to believe in bioware, i love their games, no matter how flawed they are, but in the three years i’ve been familiar with them, things seem to be getting worse and worse. i know that DAD is in alpha so probably this layoff won’t affect its quality too much, but again, that looks like a terrible move towards the employees themselves and the studio’s more distant future.

In March of this year, EA declared that they were going to cut roughly 6% of their workforce (~800 layoffs) to lower costs, likely because they (like many tech companies) over-hired during the pandemic and need to correct the burn rate to appease their shareholders. These 50 devs being cut are Bioware's unfortunate sacrifice to the layoff declaration.
