Gaming BlahBlah

BioWare layoffs are finally happening, and EA is cleaning house after Dragon Age: The Veilguard flopped. John Epler has disappeared from Bsky, Patrick Weekes and others are looking for jobs, and it only took EA losing $6 billion to finally take action. While some see this as a glimmer of hope, the damage to BioWare is already done. In this video, I go over who's out, why this was long overdue, and why the future of Mass Effect 5 still looks uncertain. What do you think of this whole situation?
