EA execs choosing Star Wars Battlefront 3 over Mass Effect 5 was the main factor in BioWare's demise, according to report

The postmortem on BioWare, following their shuttering by EA this month , points to the publisher's preference to back Star Wars Battlefront 3 over Mass Effect 5 as the main factor in the demise of the beloved RPG developer. That's according to Bloomberg, who also report that a couple of other factors likely also had some influence. The Bloomberg report paints EA's position as being one of a company caught between spending a bunch of money on a Star Wars shooter-shaped rock and a hard place with a sign that read Mass Effect 5.
