Shuttering BioWare is definitely an immense loss for our culture. Calling it a targeted attack seems like a stretch. They've released multiple flops in a row, and most of the legacy talent behind their biggest hits had already left. Not to mention the fact that their EA needs to raise massive amounts of money to survive after their leveraged buyout.

This will not go well with the heavy AI stance the new buyers have

By "targeted" I bet he means the new owners don't like how the studio thinks. On top of the flops, it becomes a no-brainer for the new sheriff in town.

Wish there were a way for international supporters to sign onto this too
