These layoffs where th🌺e 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 studio is so corrupt it produces something on the DA:V level and costs bioware hundreds 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 want to see another IP die.
