BioWare's Closure Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Farewell then, BioWare. This week, EA shuttered the Canadian RPG specialist , home of Mass Effect and Dragon Age. I'll admit to never having been a fan — on a personal level, I didn't click with the games. But I get it. I can see why these stories and characters meant so much to so many people, for their drama and scope, but particularly for BioWare's eagerness for its games to be an affirming reflection of their players. We're in the middle of an outpouring of mourning for the studio, and for the Mass Effect Universe we never got .
