“And what I mean by that is you have to learn to work within the structure.”

“It was actually a pretty successful run.

But you have to understand how to work within a big company.

And, for me, that was the end.

It seems that BioWare actually enjoyed reasonable freedom within EA, though.

But EA isn’t the only big company BioWare worked with.

Now Zeschuk makes craft beer.

It’s not a great time for big game companies.
