BioWare on Autonomy

An interview on Eurogamer talks with BioWare co-founders Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk, who respond to questions about their level of autonomy since being acquired by Electronic Arts, saying they have "huge autonomy" and that it "is not actually remotely true" that EA is running the show. "We're not being forced to do anything or told to do anything. We make the decisions. We take input," Zeschuk tells them. "It's just funny when people say that, because it's not actually remotely true." Here's a bit more:

"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.

"You're only as good as your next game, and that's the way we've always felt. That's still very much a philosophy at BioWare; quality in our products and delivering each game and exceeding expectations and always trying to delight and surprise our consumers. That's still what we try and do."

At least we could have attributed Biowares slide into mediocrity to that

What mediocrity? They have only released one less than stellar game in the last few years and that's Dragon Age 2.

Everything else from them have been great titles. Mass Effect 1 and 2 are some of the best space operas ever told and Dragon Age: Origins is probably one of my favorite RPGs ever. Jade Empire is another gem.

People are gonna hate on Old Republic because it's popular, but from what I played the beta it's a solid WoW clone with a few neat twists.

What about your last game?

 
RollinThundr Apr 17, 2013, 12:25: Eh really tossing stuff like that in there only to get your panties all bunched up. If you really want to call that trolling sure.

Mr. Tact Apr 17, 2013, 12:33: Pretty sure that's the definition of trolling...

It's good if they have creative control. But it's hard to imagine that EA isn't in charge of the funding and development window for each game. That was the main problem with DA2, it was rushed.

Well it's too bad hearing that. At least we could have attributed Biowares slide into mediocrity to that.
