    I imagine the main problem is that EA is tactically keeping all of the IP.

    If they kept the studio operating, the intent would be to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

    I doubt the Saudis will sell

      They’re closing the studio, what would their incentive be to not sell if given the option?

    Do they have any talent left? EA had a propensity for destroying studios they bought.

      Do you not think an independent Bioware would attract some talent?

      I mean, their last few releases should answer that.

        Their last few releases were great, if you take into account the conditions they were made under and the constant EA meddling.

    Or maybe failing businesses should just fail.

      Because there’s no room for a new decent indie videogame studio. Fad at best.

        But it’s not new. It’s a studio that made some great games and is now past its prime. Those same dollars could go towards new indie studios, and maybe some of them will be decent.
