Casey Hudson returns to BioWare

This news feels very eerily similar to the recent news that Impact Wrestling co-founder Jeff Jarrett was returning to retake command of the company he co-founded with his father and had the financial the backing of company called ironically enough Anthem Entertainment, after Dixie Carter, the woman that took over the company pretty much ran it into the ground.

This in some ways feels like a message to fans that "BioWare/EA hear your complaints and hope that firing Flynn and re-hiring Casey Hudson will make you love us again" just like Anthem Entertainment is trying to get Impact Wrestling/GFW to love them again "by saying look we got rid of Dixie Carter and rehired Jeff Jarrett please love us again" Plus Jarret has stated that he wants to get a GFW video game made.

Please Dear God in Heaven don't let EA anywhere near a wrestling game ever again, I mean WCW Backstage Assault was the WORST video game I've every had the misfortune to play.

I would not worry too much Chris was one of a kind and no mod here is even close to him.

The narrative right now is that ME:A killed the franchise.

TNA/Impact/GFW or whatever they want to go by now would've died over ten years ago if Dixie hadn't been funneling her Panda bucks into it as a vanity project tho. Not that she could manage it worth shit, but it's not like it was some huge success going from strength to strength before she came along to ruin everything. And fortunately the only wrestling game anyone will ever need again just went into early access a week ago: store.steampowered.com/app/564230/Fire_Pro_Wrestling_World/

As for the Bioware news: holy shit what the fuck? Those are two pretty damn huge bombshells to drop at once. Nice to see Casey make his way back, he's responsible for a lot of my favorite experiences in gaming. Sad to see Aaryn go, he always seemed like a cool dude.

I can forgive. After all, it was him who gave me KOTOR and ME1.

Hudson gave us an ending that killed a trilogy for many. I have yet to replay the OT since I finished ME3. ^{ME1 isn't even worth playing anymore as it failed at being a playable game, imo...}

I'm kinda confused as well.  I'm gonna wait and see...after all, with the exception of the execution of the original ME3 ending, Hudson managed to oversee a rather ambitious project.  Yes, the ending didn't...work as well for some...yet he did preside over a VERY beloved series.  

Flynn...fact is, he spent a portion of the time before MEA launched talking up the romance scenes and...well, I'm having a difficult time remembering what else he really talked about.  With the reaction to the base MEA, I'm not surprised that he has left (or was ASKED to leave, ahem) as MEA was/is rather controversial.  

Still, even though I'm still loving the games...REALLY mixed feelings...ya know?  Is this good or bad for ME?  Hudson is back, but will he do anything to revive/save Mass Effect?  Or is he just back for Anthem?  Yeah, not liking the uncertainty...

Maybe but I'm sure that he'll get and would want a say in it though. With regards to the contraversy over the ME3 endings though I didn't mind them personally and in fact I kind of expected them even befoer ME3 came out so wasn't really shocked by it. Shepard  to me was always billed as a character that would do anything including sacrificing themselves if it meant stopping the reapers so the fact that it did happen wasn't really a surprise to me. For me it made a great 3 game arc.

Admittedly the endings could have been written better as the writing at the end was a little weak but I think I can forgive that as working on such a big project such as a trilogy of games that make up a big story like that was always going to be challenging towards the end. Endings aside I think the plan worked well for the most part so we have to give the team and people who worked on that a lot of praise for at least making an effort and trying. Even if the endings weren't exactly what we all wanted. 

This is some bittersweet news. On the one hand, Casey is back. On the other hand. Aaryn is leaving.

Prophet, not profit.
