After EA sale, ex Bioware director discusses who could buy the Mass Effect titan

Bioware is on my Mt. Rushmore of game developers. Honestly, if it had made Dragon Age: Origins and nothing else, it would probably still be carved into the proverbial cliff face of game development greats.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Anthem, and Mass Effect: Andromeda were seemingly victims of tumultuous development cycles, the former two thanks to corporate pivots towards - and then away from - live-service. Therefore, when a new job listing for the next iteration of Mass Effect popped up this week, fans immediately scoured it for details.
