BioWare has fewer than 100 employees now
, by Thibaut
It's looking more and more like BioWare is going out with a slow, painful death. The studio underwent a restructuring plan a few days ago, and we just got a new report about its state by Jason Schreier at Bloomberg.
While the studio had more than 200 employees two years ago, the workforce has been reduced to less than 100 today. Dozens were made redundant, and others placed on other projects at Electronic Arts. Although these were intially supposed to be temporary, the American company has decided for them to be permanent.
Little by little, BioWare has been drained of all talent. Only a small team remains, leading the development of Mass Effect and spearheaded by a company veteran who oversaw the production of the original trilogy and Anthem. EA may very well hire more people in the future if necessary.
