BioWare Co-Founder Greg Zeschuk Says Studio Was Killed by Executives Who Have Never "Made a Game”

In his first interview since BioWare’s closure, Greg Zeschuk discusses EA’s acquisition, the leveraged buyout he calls the “final nail in the coffin,” and why great studios cannot be rebuilt with “random people and AI.” Greg Zeschuk was standing in the Babine River deep in northern British Columbia, fishing for steelhead when the studio died. He didn’t find out until later that Wednesday, returning to the lodge, its sporadic cell connection, and a flurry of text messages.
