The comments here are something else. This event is completely independent of the sales of the game (a game that probably did just fine). She's a director who left a company after 18 years at the end of a project, which directors often do, because that's the best way to accept a lucrative offer without burning bridges. 18 years is a long time to stay at the same company.

EDIT: Oh, apparently this departure is a part of some manufactured internet culture war drama. Allow this from Jeff Grubb to clear the air:

Corrine Busch, director of Dragon Age, really is leaving BioWare. But I don't think EA is closing BioWare Edmonton. Was told there is nothing solid about that part of the rumor.

In her letter, she said she is moving to a new team to work on a new RPG.

Just to give you all the timeline: Two people reached out to me directly with details about the story before I ever saw Grummz or whoever's tweets (I have all those blocked). Regardless, their posts contained lies to fuel a pathetic culture war, so I never would've felt good about crediting them.

I thought the game was pretty okay. The romance with the detective lady was a little disappointing. The difficulty fell off a cliff pretty early on as a mage with life drain.

The arc with whatstheirface and their mother not accepting them seemed pretty plausible to me. I've got a friend going through something like that now. Seeing something like that in media is meaningful to people.

The loyalty mission prompt was kind of meh. I can see that they wanted loyalty missions, but it felt like they struggled to fit them in.

Overall it wasn't quite the game I wanted, but it wasn't bad.

About 1m estimated sales on steam, so probably 2m across all platforms, not bad - I wonder what her next project will be?
