AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk has spoken publicly for the first time since the studio closed last week under EA and its new private equity owners. Zeschuk left BioWare in 2012, a few months after Mass Effect 3 launched, and says he had already worked through his feelings about leaving long ago.
Even so, he said he was concerned for the people who were still at the company. He said it was hard to see former colleagues, and even people he never worked with directly, having to look for jobs in a tough market.
Zeschuk also talked about BioWare’s history and the 2007 sale to EA. He said he does not think BioWare was in danger of failing at the time. In his view, the studio was in good shape and was mainly looking for more funding for Star Wars MMO The Old Republic, which was being developed at BioWare Austin.
