I want Bioware to return to making good writing a priority in their games. I want them to implement a policy that no writer or pair of writers gets to declare "MINE! NO PEER REVIEW!" for significant parts of games.

I want them to succeed by turning things around. They can do it and I'm pulling for them. However, if they don't, I can't justify giving them any more of my gaming dollars, it's that simple.

To be honest BioWare signed their own death warrant when they joined EA.
It's only a matter of time. The cycle is inevitable.

A deal with the devil so to speak.

[calculation] EA has 3.6 - 5 years in which declaranece of bankruptcy is likely if EA maintains its present course.

[optimistic suggestion] Bioware may be able to find a loop hole that would let them sever most if not all ties with
EA, maybe if we are to review the contract pherhap we the community might find something EA's lawyers have missed.

[advice] one must know when to admit mistakes.

Ok...I have to ask why does EA have 3.6-5 years before it declares bankruptcy, when they are still generating income in the gaming market where other companies are not? 

Economic conditions hard to work around, prices kept the same so most entertainment companies or most companies lost stock value sine 2008 add that with bad buisness practices plus the citadel crucible incident equals aformentioned time being likely for declerence of bankruptcy. as for generated income other companies will fill certain sectors of the gaming industry just give it time.

Well, EA was voted the most hated company in America recently, wasn't it? Impressive. Not surprising all the companies it has leeched in are going to the dogs as well.

Probably not the end of Bioware, they have too much good credibility to their name. But they did in actuality shed a large portion of their loyal fans, and even more so with the extended cut ending DLC announcement (since it flat out says 'we will not address your concerns, but we will re-explain why we like our endings you hate')

My two cents, they should have playtested that ending with fans before they put in it as it was the most important part of any of their games to date.

No, but the fanbase will be split down the middle.

No. Why did Bioware spend longer on games and make less money in a niche market like RPGs? I would like to think it was to build a loyal fan base. While some fan have gotten angry ( like me ) over the mess that is ME3, they will get over it.

Bioware had to spend a lot of those loyalty points they built up but they will get past this.

Time is what they have bought. Time to analyze what went wrong and decide how to fix it. ME3 was a horrible mistake but there are a few good stories in there and it is proof Bioware can still write.

My advise ...

Quit trying to make art and just try and make damn good games.

Not yet, although it's getting to the point where they cannot afford to fail again. The next game is going to be VERY cautiously viewed and judged by the player base.

IF it's good and IF it matches up then bioware will survive. If not... well, sometimes companies fail.
