These layoffs where the best possible news for Mass effect. Dragon Age:v was an absolute failure of a game, commercially, stylisticly, and in it's writing. When a sꦆtudio is so corrupt it produces something on the DA:V level and costs bioware h🎉undreds of millions the only option left is a full system purge.

Burn out the rot, 🏅bring in new talent with strict guidelines to avoid a repeat, and let the new Mass effect studio grow up with strict oversight to avoid the same issues as the last game. Bioware can't afford can't afford another failure, and we gamers don't wan𝔉t to see another IP die.
