BioWare Fan Questions Answered in Video/Podcast

As promised last month, BioWare has published a video/podcast featuring Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk answering fan questions about various topics concerning the company and their games. Topics include what sort of perks are available for their employees, if the EA acquisition will affect Mass Effect’s downloadable content, how EA’s ownership will affect the company’s creativity and game quality, whether or not the Sonic the Hedgehog RPG is still moving forward, and more.

If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, let me sum it up for you – all the EA-related questions are answered with the typical “we’re excited about being owned by EA!” and “being owned by EA gives us all sorts of new opportunities!” followed by an admission that all of their favorite games were published by EA in the 80’s and 90’s.

Unfortunately, the inner workings of Electronic Arts have changed dramatically since the days of The Bard’s Tale and Wasteland. Anybody willing to do about 10 minutes of research will discover that EA’s policies and agendas are far from what they used to be.
