All it took was 5 years of development to get a teaser.
Bioware has constant layoffs and budget cuts then daddy EA wonders why they have trouble shipping games
The layoffs and budget cuts are symptoms, not cause. They've been terribly mismanaged for years -- on the studio side, not EA -- pissing away resources doing essentially nothing.
Could be either. No matter what it's mismanaged, somewhere it's to blame there. Could be EA, could be Bioware.
All I know is they could be alternating Mass Effect and Dragon Age every couple of years and just be pumping out profit - if they were managed well and had good investment. The fact that they're not just seems to me like EA/Bioware are just leaving money on the table
