Facing financial pressure, the video-game publisher chose ‘Star Wars’ over ‘Mass Effect’
Schreier adds on Bluesky:
Why did EA shut down BioWare? Twitter thinks the studio failed because it was too woke. BlueSky thinks Saudi Arabia killed the studio for being too gay. The real reason? Star Wars
Because they’re so strapped for cash in servicing the debt for the leveraged buyout that they’re looking for more predictable successes, as outlined in the article.
Also, to be clear, this isn’t an official statement from them. It’s from Schreier’s sources. EA wouldn’t say this officially as they have not officially acknowledged Battlefront 3.
