fans want to protect the devs and their legacy! There is no mass effect without bioware! we are fighting for every single person who has lost their job due EA’s corporate greed. They deserved better.
Skills, screamers and elite teamwork!

FUCK EA.
EA employees are speaking out about mismanagement, GenAI push and BioWare’s closure🚀
✅Employees report that the "do less, better" mantra has simply resulted in handling the same workload with fewer staff.
✅Upper management is heavily promoting generative AI (specifically Claude), telling staff that adoption is mandatory for the future.
✅Workers believe the technology is being pushed to test how drastically EA can cut headcount while maintaining output.
BioWare’s Decline & Closure
✅BioWare was repeatedly forced to abandon its strengths (narrative choice, consequences, companions) to chase unprofitable live-service and multiplayer trends, wasting significant resources.
✅Studio leadership grew overly reliant on user experience research (UXR) and fear-driven decision-making, stifling creative risk-taking before the studio's closure.

Disappointed, but definitely not surprised. So much of what’s said reflects very much how many of us felt, as it was quite obvious for the last 10-15 years.
Risk-averse development, “do less” mentality, cost-cutting..etc.
I feel really bad for the studios and talents that had to be suffocated under EA’s mentality. It’s obvious what kind of people they were ever since they tried to gaslight gamers into thinking single player gaming to be dead.

I don’t power scale squadmates, I don’t choose who’s in my ground team based on strength/abilities, I don’t choose who’s goes with Shep depending on the mission; I choose who my Shepard’s bffs would be within the first 2 hours of a playthrough and if that fucks me over I reload

MEA is what the devs wanted to ME1 to be. but back then the technology & engine they had didn't allow for the og to be what they envisioned :) it was a really ambitious project but devs had only 18 months to make MEA (it was rewritten and remade many times) while being understaffed and inexperienced with Frostbite engine
so i really appreaciate what we got and mourn what we would've had if they weren't forced to work on Anthem right after MEA dropped

#SaveMassEffect The idea that doing all this is pointless is extremely flawed. None of us know what’s gonna happen here. What we DO know is Mass Effect and BioWare stay dead without intervention. This is simply fans being the ones to intervene, or at least start to.
