I'm asking myself what behooves people to keep talking about a game that has had no relevant developments from a series that hasn't been good in decades.
I just asked myself exactly the same question. And I came to the conclusion that it's no longer about Bioware games. It's about the company itself and their fans.
It's a kind of zeitgeist. Bioware announces some changes and is ahead of them. They were the first to turn RPGs into romance simulators, they were the first to simplify the idea of RPGs so much, they were the first to build a Twitter-Tumblr community, they were the first to transform RPGs into LGBT VR. Therefore, I believe that the deadness accompanying their existence somehow shows the future of the industry, and maybe even the social climate in the next decade.
