Games industry mourns sudden BioWare closure - "Anyone who participated in this travesty should be ashamed"

"I would have never been here without BioWare igniting the fire in my heart."

Following the sudden closure of Bioware last night, people from across the games industry have shared their sympathies for those employees losing their jobs, and said farewell to one of the most influential RPG developers of all time.

The reactions come in many forms, with BioWare staff throughout the years looking back on their time at the studio and thanking their peers and fans for support. Game developers from other studios have paid tribute too, sharing their own tales of how Bioware impacted their careers.

"As much as it's not really a surprise," former Dragon age lead writer David Gaider on Bluesky, "especially given the industry right now coupled with the Saudi sale, the news today still made me sad ... BioWare joins other great studios of the past, with a legacy that will not soon be forgotten."

Former Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age lead James Ohlen also paid tribute to the studio, writing: "BioWare is closing. My 22 years there made me the man I am. The people affected today are some of the best RPG developers in the world. If you're hiring writers, designers, artists or engineers, start with them. Former BioWare folks: if an intro from me would help, reach out."

"This is sad news on multiple fronts," former Mass Effect boss and one-time BioWare general manager Casey Hudson added on X, " for those of us who worked there, for our friends and colleagues at BioWare who are impacted, and for fans who were looking forward to the next Mass Effect adventure.
