Is EA shutting down BioWare? No more Mass Effect games are coming.

BioWare, the Canadian video game developer owned by Electronic Arts, is shutting down, leading to the cancellation of the new Mass Effect project. EA plans to lay off around 400 employees, including about 50 from BioWare, following a $55 billion acquisition by a group of investors. This acquisition marks one of the largest in gaming history. The gaming industry has seen significant layoffs this year, with Microsoft and Bungie also reducing their workforce substantially.
