EA Still Confident in BioWare

That's nice
Won't stop every single game bio ware is now involved in from having a four point conversation dial, pointless good vs bad system, narrative choices that won't effect the end game whatsoever and more shallow romances.
Something about bioware has been dead for a while now
Maybe it was all the talented writers seeing DA2 and running away screaming

Unless there were rumors of EA intending to shut down Bioware, how is this news?
What is there to discuss? It's just a continuation of the Status-quo.
Both companies have a tarnished reputation in light of recent events, but ultimately: EA owns Bioware, Bioware makes games for EA.
I don't get it. *shrugs*

Ahhhh Fappy, my dear friend, been a while since we've been in direct communication.Fappy said:
Seems to me that Moore is just saying what has already been made evident: say what you want about Bioware, they ARE/HAVE taken steps to fix what fans didn't like about their games. We haven't had a chance to see if they'll get rid of all the things people didn't like about DA2, but it certainly seems like they're trying to rework TOR (don't have it, so I can really only go by what I hear on the matter) and they DEFINITELY took steps to remedy the situation with ME3 (say what you want about the EC, it still shows that they did something about all the criticism they received rather than simply shrugging it off, saying "oh well", and moving on to the next project).
Perhaps I'm just an eternal optimist, but I just can't bring myself to hate Bioware. I still have faith in their work, and can't wait to see Dragon Age 3 (especially if the rumors about it as posted here in an article a few days ago turn out to be true).
The above comments were writen by someone who genuinely enjoyed DA 2 despite it's large list of flaws due to having an understanding of the story that it seems few others have. The above comments were also writen by someone who was simply disappointed with the original ending to ME 3, not out-right raging, and thought that the EC was perfect, allowing Mass Effect to solidify itself as his Greatest Game Series of All Time, without question. If that makes me a "Bioware Fanboy", then fuck you, I guess I'm a Fanboy.
I may be the odd one out but I enjoyed both bulletstorm and even syndicate. and like jim said I am not going to punish the developer for what the publishers do, I almost (almost) feel sorry for ea, no matter what they say people turn it into something different just so they can hate on ea, there is not liking EA (they have done some pretty bad stuff) but this has just gotten to the point of ridiculous. Yes I hate origin but a simple solution is to buy a physical pc copy of there game and then use a crack, that way they see people buying there games but not using the serviceQuiotu said:
And the extended cut could have been a whole lot better but at the same time we should be grateful that bioware did that, but yet many people seem to just spit it back in there faces.
Dear EA,
Of course you have "confidence" in Bioware, since they've been doing what you suggest.
I hope you realise, in your boardroom meetings, that every failure they've had in the past 18 months were likely entirely your fault.
Sincerely,
You fucking suck.

Ah, that's what I was about to say.Tombfyre said:
I think if EA really did have confidence in Bioware, they wouldn't set ridiculous time limits. They would know that the end product would be awesome and so they would give them the appropriate time. Sure, a publisher has to push sometimes, but not to the EA extent. Oop, went off on a little rant there. My mistake.
From a business' view point it makes sense for EA to have faith in Bioware, they've made them a metric shit-ton of cash (that's a scientific measurement), all the games released while under EA ownership have sold well* though there has been a fan backlash. Add in all the DLC and the F2P aspect of ME3 multiplayer and Bioware is probably the top earner outside of EA Sports which is a license to print money.
*This does include SWTOR, which sold well enough and last long enough to earn back the cost of development, though it won't be printing money for them or killing WoW, and their monitaization(sp?) plan for the F2P sucks and isn't likely to earn them much more then they are already earning off it.

people taking these comments HORRENDOUSLY out of context and once again doing the same old song and dance they've been doing for way too long. I'm still wondering what Bioware is going to do next; ME is finished and DA can't be their only franchise. I say we need to go back to the Jade Empire.
i think ?A wants to say is, "bioware is doing great because they still follow our instruction wile we hold a gun on their heads".
Of course EA's still confident in Bioware, they're still making money off of them.
Still some milk to be drained from the Bioware cow.

Yes. I'm sure it was a random statement and not a response to an interview question. Nah, can never be the logical answer that makes sense, because we always have to find a way to demonize EA.Dexter111 said:
