BY the way I just want to say something, its not because casey was the creator of ME that suddenly his return is necessarly a good thing and everybody should feel great just because he was there at the start. He did made huge mistakes before while leading ME. George lucas created the SW universe, that does not make the prequel movie any better simply because SW would not exist without him. And if he was announced has the responsible ninth star wars people would have all the reason in the world to not be happy if they thought the prequels were bad. Now maybe hudson will be a great leader for BW, we just don't know, could be good, great, average, less good, wait and see... exactly. We know Casey is a fairly competent game developer but will he be a good manager that's an entirely different beast. That and since his last effort had rather mixed results we'll have to see. But it's understandable to be skeptical.

Should I be doing a happy dance or facepalming? Someone tell me how I should feel about this... I'm not even sure what a general manager would do at Bioware. A little of everything? Gotta lol at the change of tone here tho. If Casey came back 3 yrs ago you guys would have been so mad.

He worked on Neverwinter Nights, KoTOR, Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2 and early development in Dragon Age Inquisition before taking over BioWare Studio General Management in 2012 when Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk retired. Every title Flynn touched was a step up from the last. He was great leader from the front in this case. His appointment to replace the doctors didn't scare me off from BioWare under EA. It actually made me feel better that someone who poured love into those titles would be GM. Aw man... well... I don't doubt someone will hire him away... I am not so sure if his leadership as general manager at BW was so great though. IF the Kotaku article about the problems throughout the ME:A dev cycle are true, then there was lot's of friction between the Montreal and the Edmonton teams during the time just after he took over. That friction also had an impact on ME:A's development. If that was indeed the case, the blame for that should squarely fall on the general manager's shoulders. We'll see how it goes with Casey. I am just saying, just because you were a great game designer and project lead/director doesn't necessarily make you a great general manager of multiple studios. It's a different job description.

Gross exaggeration at best. From Penny Arcades perspective it was an issue of cause being used to usurp procedure, from Childs Play it was an issue of procedure separating itself from the cause. It's pretty close to the same reasons, just from the perspective of what both sides knew. Ultimate point, people were being silly still for even making that charity about Mass Effect. No, it was absolutely an exaggeration if not a complete fabrication. www.cinemablend.com/games/Retake-Mass-Effect-3-Fundraiser-Ended-Due-Corporate-Politics-40804.htmlAny confusion about the Child's Play drive was minimal.

Don't know how to feel about this to be honest but it's an interesting turn of events if nothing else. Have to wait and see what will happen. But personally I may have to wait for a bit as Anthem currently is nothing I'm interested in.

The hell? There was never a friction between BW Montreal and BW Edmonton, not even Kotaku article suggests that. What there was a lack of unified vision within BW Montreal management, so BW Edmonton had to intervene as Mac Walters was( and still is) a Creative Director of ME:A. I am just confused where you're getting all these. Professional major studios in video game industry do not behave like some youtubers or bloggers who cause drama on daily basis. They have heavy discipline. And BioWare's business culture was always to keep their staffers happy and friendly as much as realistically possible per each individual.

In my case, I was pretty mad about BioWare and Mass Effect up until like a month before ME:A release. So, I'd have been mad either way, ha!

From the Article: As I am saying, IF that was the case, that's an issue of general BW management.

I was thinking more of his work with Dragon Age. If you want video games to be good, than Hudson has a far more shaky record than Flynn. One of the most ridiculous and cringeworthy posts I've ever read on these forums. You could have been a writer for Andromeda with material like that. ... You must be new here.
