Former BioWare Writer Says EA Always Favored Mass Effect Over Dragon Age https://ift.tt/BhEy5L7 Following the  disappointing sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard , it's looking like BioWare's fantasy IP won't be making a comeback anytime soon. Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider believes that the series may be dead, and the game's poor commercial performance-- according to EA's expectations --was likely the final nail in its coffin.
