Over 210,000 Users Signed the 'Save Mass Effect' Petition After EA Shut Down BioWare

Jennifer Hale, the voice actress behind female Commander Shepard, said BioWare “was in the hands of ownership that may not have understood what BioWare fully is.” Last week, EA announced its plan to shut down BioWare , the studio behind the Dragon Age and the Mass Effect series, permanently. Immediately after EA's statement, internet user Joe Smith started a Change.org petition to save Mass Effect. In the petition, the author proposes licensing the Mass Effect IP to another studio if EA itself is not planning to keep the series going.
