Bioware will be fine. It's just they might be heading in the direction of other peoples preferences instead of my own. As their games appeal to others instead of myself then I will back away and buy other titles, such is life. Other people will come in and fill my spot who enjoy the direction they head more so. This was evident from ME2 when I did not enjoy the direction of quite a few elements of the game. Others were listened too and I was ignored (maybe more accurately they disagreed with me) in sense what they did made others happier than myself.
DA2 went in a direction I really did not like but other people liked it, however it had some flaws even the new fans could not ignore on top of the flaws I saw and felt, which greatly decreased any enjoyment I had with it so it suffered huge landslide compared to previous titles for many reasons and not just appealing to other people instead of myself. It however did have less development time and I don't know the cost of the project, so it probably made them enough to pass into profit fine.
Bioware themselves the doctors said they do not make RPG's and it is beginning to show more so every passing title of all franchises. But defining RPG for each person is subjective. They just said they will make stories, as Frozen stated ME3 is not actually advertised as an RPG anymore so it would appear the crowd wish to please is not the same as myself who came in during the earlier days even though some from such days also enjoy their new direction it is worth mentioning.
The advent of heading towards MMO's and C&C titles furthers this belief that they no longer will make titles that appeal to me at present after ME3, though this may change in future, I would not write them off by any means as they have shown in the past they can (even if might not anymore) make titles that I enjoy. In the end it is a business and they are in it to make money. ME3 I would buy even if is not a title might have bought otherwise if say had no RPG elements and is not an RPG in itself because I wish to finish the trilogy regardless.
Life will go on others will buy their titles, I might buy some if they ever make something I want and in meantime will buy alternative products. Just the way the cookie crumbles it's not exactly the end of the world and common sense shouldn't be needed to know as a business Bioware are doing okay overall with EA's backing they have expanded a lot. I just hope after ME3 they make something I might be interested in, short term I can't see that happening but maybe long term fingers crossed since I know they have the ability to make games I like even if they don't want to make them right now.
