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
The real reason: it was in the United States. US based studios are all shuttering because they want to move them over to the middle east where its cheap as fuck.
Canada. But even the rosiest development location probably doesn’t change this decision.
BioWare was Canadian and was largely staffed by Canadians and was started by 3 doctors in Edmonton. If you are right they would have shut down Star Wars and kept BioWare.
