Bioware co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk have told Eurogamer that the studio still operates with a fair degree of autonomy.
“One thing we commonly see is when fans don’t like something we do, they put in the comments, ‘Oh those EA guys, they’re making BioWare do…’ And I always chuckle because we are EA, we’re BioWare – we’re both, and we still have huge autonomy in terms of what we do,” said Zeschuk.
“We’re not being forced to do anything or told to do anything. We make the decisions. We take input. It’s just funny when people say that, because it’s not actually remotely true.”
“At the end of the day, we’re responsible for the quality of the content and games we release, and we’re committed to try and always take feedback really seriously from our fans and be humble about how we take it – use it to make the next games better,” Ray Muzyka added.
Bioware is currently busy working on what is possibly its most ambitious project yet with its MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The Old Republic is due out internationally on 22 December, however, it is currently not on the cards to be released in South Africa.
