This entire situation is confusing to me.
Quick background: I'm pretty young, so growing up and playing DAO is something I'll never forget, because it really opened the door for me in terms of WRPGs. Went 'back in time' and loved Jade Empire. I skipped DA2 and am trying to slug through it right now, and DAI literally helped me out in a bad period of my childhood. I remember getting it for 20% off and playing it on my crappy gaming laptop while some real hard shit went down. This year, I blasted through the entire Mass Effect series, sans Andromeda of course, and fell in love again. They're one of the main reasons why I take video game stories and experiences seriously. Plus, they're a Canadian Studio, so of course I'm a bit prideful.
So needless to say, this series is pretty important for me. The ability for Bioware to continue to make great RPGs is important to me. I guess if they really do go under I'll still have my memories, but with the way that Trespasser ended it'd still be really sad/bad.
I'm hoping that Anthem either does well enough for EA to push development onto a different studio for future updates so Bioware can get back to making amazing RPGs, or that Anthem doesn't do too well and EA realizes that Bioware's talent is in RPGs, let's them develop DA4 bc Andromeda and DAI sold pretty well.
Worst case scenario, if the studio gets shut down, I'd be cool for the old devs to leave and then regroup later under a different name, and either buy the license back or create a spiritual successor, a la Obsidian.
