Yeah so we all know how much EA likes to kill great developers. With everything they have sunk into Anthem if it fails Bioware is in real trouble. Do you think they would let them stay and finish DA4 give it to a new developer or just cancel it outright?

First BioWare has been long screwed, the only thing you see today it's just a name, that's all. Second I'm not Michael Patcher. And third, let's assume your crystal ball it's right, there is one thing for certain, the meme fest will be legendary, and I will laugh non stop, from it.

I doubt it. So many jobs on the line that I just don't see that especially with DA4 apparently in full production mode now. But I didn't think they would close the forums or shelf the Mass Effect franchise or discuss ending the production of SWTOR either, so who knows. Nothing we can do about it anyways except speculate.
It's been so long since DAI now and with the major disappointment of MEA, I've moved on to play other games from other companies. If Bioware goes down in flames with Anthem then I guess I'll be very sad since I love DA, SWTOR and the original ME trilogy, but life goes on and there's always other games to play.

I have a feeling Anthem will be a good game only to be sunk by the massive amount of memes because Bioware is the cool thing to hate due to it daring to not have a straight white protagonist.
At this point I'm just happy I enjoyed BioWare games before the Internet turned to shit and anything extra will be a bonus.

I suppose you get to feel really smug about a bad situation?
A situation that involves dozens of people losing their jobs and livelihoods? The death of a gaming icon?
You get to feel really good about that.

haha wow. Sorry I hurt some of your delicate sensibility's with my doom and gloom. But yes I will go on with my miserable existences and be just fine with it. But I will be sad to see Dragon Age die even if I am cold and dead inside with my mean snide self.

Honestly, even if Bioware is shut down, Dragon Age will still live on. It's a very popular franchise for many people, so I believe EA will move the DA franchise to another studio within the company. So there will be future DA games, just made by an EA studio not named Bioware. I do see the very real possibility that at least some Bioware devs and writers will remain at EA and maybe move over to whatever studio that received DA. Also, I actually like MEA...it's not the best ME game, that's for sure. But it's not terrible, it was enjoyable for me and I completed that game 3 times already, lol.

Well the IP belongs to EA so it either gets buried or they continue it in some form.

IP for BioWare brands would revert to EA (if it's not already owned by them,) and they find/make a new developer for the games if they think there's a market for it.
If not, the IP's go stagnant for years, possibly decades and someone eventually decides to do a reboot/sequel that either breaks the series totally, or successfully reboots it. I've tended to notice that it's more often than not the former.
Think of Medal of Honor (2010) for the former, and Tomb Raider (2013) for the latter.
Even in the case of the former, I wouldn't say that a franchise is truly dead - eventually, somewhere down the line, someone is going to try again. I mean, Mass Effect is supposedly on ice for the foreseeable future due to the (agree with it or not) failure to deliver with Andromeda. While the return of CHud to BW to me personally makes me reevaluate the prospects for a Mass Effect game (I'm not a fan of his, but the series was his baby in a lot of ways, and he'll probably work to getting another one made,) I still think we're at least 4-5 years off from another Mass Effect release (and that's being really liberal.) It's probably going to be a bit longer, definitely more than half-a-decade in my estimation. I see CHud's return as EA wanting to get ME back to a winning formula (ending of 3 aside) and a possible investment into the series in the long-term (although in the short-term, I don't think CHud's attention is going to be focused on ME.)

I don't think Anthem will flop, and even if it does I don't think EA will close Bioware's doors for two reasons. 1. Their games still make tons of money for EA. Even Bioware games that are seen as "failures" still easily made a sizable profit. 2. They are really EA's only RPG studio. So it'd be easier on multiple levels to keep them around rather than create a new one.

Am I mistaken or is this the first doomsayer thread in the new forum area? Have Bioware yet to produce one game that didn't sold well enough? Better to keep your tinfoils in check.

2. They are really EA's only RPG studio. So it'd be easier on multiple levels to keep them around rather than create a new one. I think this is a factor that's often overlooked when considering the future of the studio. Dragon Age may not have made as much money as Skyrim or The Witcher, but it's also the ONLY slice of that pie that EA owns, and EA are all about having a slice of every pie that's going. Making a Dragon Age 4 is probably cheaper and easier than starting from scratch with a new fantasy cRPG at a new studio, and there's not a lot of studios around that they could buy and acquire that kind of IP.

Do you know something I don't? What would you consider to be a flop? I say the game will do well. How well? Time will answer that question.
For now, I will continue to believe that the next da game will be released regardless of what happens with Anthem

We will all have to cross that bridge when we get there. If we get there. I’’ve Got my fair share of worries. But worrying about that kind of stuff.... is just pointless.
All that will happen is a circle jerk of confirmation bias chicken-little-ism. The optimists will be optimists at the end of the day and the pessimists will be sad. Nothing will change and there is not enough information to form arguments one way or the other or make informed crystal ball predictions.

Am I mistaken or is this the first doomsayer thread in the new forum area? Have Bioware yet to produce one game that didn't sold well enough? Better to keep your tinfoils in check. To be fair to the doomsayers, there is cause for some concern. EA has a habit of closing studios even when the games they produce are moderately successful, because the company views anything less than a blockbuster success as a failure. As Jim Sterling put it: they're not content with SOME money, they'd rather have ALL the money or nothing at all. And while there's no reason to believe that Anthem will be a failure, there's also nothing to suggest it will succeed either. That said, even if Anthem tanks and BioWare closes ... so what? We move on with our lives. It's not like we're starved for entertainment options in this modern age.

Bioware specifically Dragon Age) is probably the only reason I video game. All these other video games I play are the things that tide me over until the next Bioware release. If bioware stops, My gaming will inevitably peter off. I would miss it and the online friendships I've made. Guess I would move on with my life, you're right.
