Bioware has slowly been having it's executive staff replaced by EA.

They also cut out most of their writer's for the ending of Mass Effect 3.
Now I fully expected the ending to not live to fans expectations, unlike most fans I'm not mad because you can't run off with Liara and have Asari babies.
But seriously, let your writers take part in the god damn ending!

Plus you can tell with each Bioware game released they're getting more streamlined, and DLC & Micro Transaction based.

I grew up on two games (real young) honestly, Halo and Kotor. There were some others like Gladius that had good hours in them, but Halo and Kotor were the main two. And once Mass Effect came out when I was 12 that became my holy grail of all games for the longest time. Never had that title taken away until Tell Tales Walking Dead came out (and even then, it was debatable until Season 2's ending. After that ending Telltale just stole the title outright). And Dragon Age became my older versions Gladius, had a lot of hours in it so it played a big role, but it was not the huge childhood influence that Mass Effect and Kotor were.

So seeing Bioware die out, is like watching my childhood die out. The only thing making it easier to bare is that I now have TellTale to escape to for games with rich story and choices that I originally could only get from Bioware.
