People can be so cruel. 🙁

+1, Sad to see developers leave this way.

Were the negative fan reactions representative of the majority? If not then they should have just ignored them and plowed on. The reviews were good, sales were good, so wtf are they on about?

Blaming players for having to leave ? Should have done better ending and stay with the company ;p /joke ME3 was a nice game, definitely worth playing. I'm pretty sure that this decision did not come form them, someone higher "suggested" that option to them.

They became corporate sellouts making games to please a board instead of gamers. Their games have long lost their identities, and their company is now just another soldier on EAs chess board. They are just yet another expendable pawn and whith what they've done with them selves thats what they deserve. EA has Biowares IPs and they will milk them dry and they will make more than just their money back.

6 six years old can make better excuses than this... There were a lot of backlash from fans because of ME3 ending but more than 90% loved the game and it sold like crazy, so this excuse is bull****. And this is from someone that thinks that Bioware´s games are simply over rated....

Yep the ending was complete **** but the game itself was good. If anyone should leave it's only the guy who wrote the ending. It's kind of like LOTR's long ending (which is the right way to do it). You simply don't end a great franchise with such a crap ending.

I thought ending was good

Or it was the plan along when hey sold out to EA. Time to move to a new project.

SWTOR is losing subscriptions..... The game didn't "take-off" like EA and Bioware expected. They claimed it to be a "wow killer" and it failed miserably. The game essentially failed because of it's story.... The only way to do a successful star wars MMO-RPG....is to start at the beginning of the story... Off-Topic: Diablo3 lacks the "feel" that a lot of people expected of a sequel to the series....and Jay Wilson's team was rather slow in addressing player concerns. It's my opinion that Jay Wilson has no clear "vision" and needs to go.

its not like they committed suicide. If they can't handle criticism and chose to stop making tons of money that's their problem. get over it.

He had absolutely no business being the director, and everyone is still wonder how the hell he got that position. The root problem with D3 is that they had the audacity to tell you how to play and if you tried doing it any other way they would patch it to force you into that one play style (as if it wasn't limiting enough as it was). Each patch actually ended up enraging the old fans (rather than new/casual ones) more and more. Eventually long after many had quit they admit they screwed up (only on a few points), such as putting in enrage timers (dumbest and possibly most assholic mechanic I've ever seen in a game)... but they didn't remove them entirely, they decided to keep them for bosses which continues to keep certain areas broken and nothing more than gear checks. I started playing it with 7 or 8 friends and all of us unanimously decided it's an absolute joke, they ignored all the core features of D2 that made us like that game and put in a bunch of crap that serves no purpose but to annoy us. All of us sold our items for real money and quit the game. One of us made almost $500 from the items he got in that short time, but I only managed to get like $35 back. D3 was the biggest troll job of the decade. We're playing Lorchlight 2 now, we bought it in packs of 4 so it cost us just $15 each. We're all happy with it. As for these guys retiring, I call BS. They were probably blackmailed or paid off to leave.

The ending sucked any way, don't know and care about TOR.

Or maybe they saw the direction EA was going and thought it better to depart with dignity intact than to let EA drag them down as well....

It's absolutely disgusting. And it's not just happening to them, it's happening to everyone that dares to make a mistake. There is a growing number of people on the internet that is just filled with poison and the rest walks along with them. It's okay to have constructive critizism, but to talk people into the ground like this is just sickening. Grow the **** up, people. Make something of your lives instead of ruining other's.

Some, deserve the treatment they receive....like Jay Wilson....who, instead of accepting the criticism and improving the game, intentionally went against what players wanted.

SWTOR was a failure. $200,000,000 budget and couldn't even attract 2 million players.... I call that a failure.

No MMO will ever be able to compete with WoW....using the same "formula".... Somehow, someone is going to have to come up with a new "formula".... Pre-EA, Bioware might have been capable.....but now, as SWTOR proves, it's unlikely to ever happen with EA involved.

i like swtor but bw keepts screwing up the performance of the game with ever patch, only to fix it then screw it up again

impossible to defend ME3

Same thing happens with WoW every patch/expansion..... MMO's have a lot of code to consider and sometimes it's hard to ensure everything is working perfectly when people are screaming for something new.

I find it amusing that ME3 and SWTOR are cited as major sources of complaints. I mean I'm sure that's true and all but if we're going to complain about BioWare games one should probably start with DA2. ME3 I never played, I liked the first game but the second started moving in a direction I didn't approve of and from the looks of it ME3 is even worse. SWTOR I really liked, I prefer it to WoW even, but I'm just worn out by the whole MMO concept.

ME2 was good, DA2, not so much, too many repeats of scenery/areas. ME3, was good apart from the ending.
