    Post Bioware co-founders retire

    http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...ounders-retire

    Muzyka is retiring from games entirely, and is stepping into the field of social impact investment with the goal of helping make the world a better place. Specific causes in which he will be getting more involved include education, health care, and animal rights.

    Zeschuk is also stepping away from the gaming industry, saying, "I'm not going to be working in games for a while, and there's a strong possibility that I won't be back." In the short-term, Zeschuk said he will spend time with family and friends and pursue his passion for craft beer, including working on a web-based interview show called The Beer Diaries.

    This is the kind of thing that makes me very scared for Bioware and leads me to believe they are going the way of many others before them; Westwood, Bullfrog, etc...

    Hopefully this will put more pressure on bioware to succeed with DA 3; but with forced multiplayer by EA, diverting resources from single player, I hope they won't make another Mass Effect 3 where nearly all side quests were nothing but playing fetch.

    RIP BioWare.

    Feels to me that their last great games were Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. ME3 lacked that polish...

    I hope I'm proven wrong with DA III.

    Aye Bioware was one of my favourites so to see it crumble would be a major disappointment.
