Bioware’s future depends on Dragon Age

The current climate in the video game industry is likely the most volatile in history. We’ve seen record-breaking numbers of layoffs and studio closures in the past two years, and both the cost and time required to make a AAA game have ballooned to the point where even games that sell millions of units are considered a failure. That’s not even touching on the games that fail to find even that level of success, with Concord being an extreme example . Few studios can afford even a single misfire, and as we approach All Hallows’ Eve, it’s BioWare’s fate that hangs in the balance.
