Please come back to BioWare.

Please. God, these morons are destroying your legacy. Please don't tell me that Mass Effect was a fuckup that placed it at eye level with Star Wars. Lore wise, storytelling wise, scientifically, just please god come back.

i really like pathfinder's setting but i REALLY don't like how focused on min/maxing the rules are. it's designed from the ground up by and for min/maxer's and autists. the rest of us normies have to play on crayon eater difficulty just to hit a target.

Give me a break. People wanted him fired and disgraced because of what they claim he did to the end of Mass Effect 3 and I am pretty sure there were numerous threats that he saw because of it too. If I was him I would stay away from this unstable "fanbase" because you are only good to them if you don't make BioWare games.

Sure, let's have another your choices matter game like ME3 that ends with a choice between RED, GREEN, or BLUE.

Great ending. NOT!

Oh for crying out loud. If I had to put up with video games fans ranting and raving on my games, I probably would've quit after ME1 came out.

Video Game fandom would be great if people didn't have to put up with the all the endless whinnying entitled crybaby fans complaining about things 5-10 years old.

As one who loves Star Wars I don't really see the big deal. We already had a plant that spit out asari clones, and we have the asari themselves. If that's not a total Star Wars homage, I don't know what is.

And to think everyone used to blast him for the ending of ME3 and wished he was gone ...

The guy is basically the brainchild of two of the greatest RPG's of all time (KOTOR and Mass Effect series), and with a single "mistake" (keep in mind not everyone hated the ending), people wanted him gone. People make mistakes, and obviously development of the games was a team effort, but as executive producer, it was Casey's vision which formed the basis for Mass Effect. I think we can all agree that vision lead to some extraordinary gaming, even with the flaws.

I honestly wish he stayed, but what can you do? He chose a different path, and I can't blame him for it. I wish him the best of luck for his current work on Microsoft's Hololens, and I hope it innovates the industry in the same way he did for KOTOR and ME.

IDGAF, he created three games before the ending to ME3. Three beautiful games.

I'm sorry. But this is my last shot. This game is a Cleveland Steamer comparatively.

And I suggest you do google Cleveland Steamer. It's NSFW, but I can't put up what it is here in good conscience.

Look. I don't really think he fucked up the endings, to be honest. You mileage will vary. There's no may about it.

He created an ending which kept people talking for FIVE YEARS. That is a sign of good writing. Not bad writing. Bad writing is like, hmmm? Wonder what Commando is doing now? WTF cares? Srsly? Why do they keep on making Alien movies? 'Cause the writing is THAT god damned good.

I'm one of the few who actually liked the ending of ME3 (post-EC and Leviathan). That being said, Casey dedicated ten years of his life to the Mass Effect franchise (development began after KOTOR 1 in 2003). I can't blame him for wanting to do something new and different. He created the new IP that BioWare will unveil at EA Play in June. Casey was also in charge of helping create the new setting for Mass Effect before he handed things over to Mac. Casey is responsible for some of the greatest RPGs of all time, and I think he deserves to have a break and try something new and different. He's a creator, and I can't exactly blame him for not wanting to do Mass Effect for the rest of his career.
