Immersive sim legend Warren Spector recently expressed strong disapproval regarding the closure of BioWare. In a public statement, Spector characterized the event as a devastating historic loss for the medium, noting that the studio had long served as a successful example of balancing art and commerce.
Spector, known for his typically even-tempered professional demeanor, explicitly labeled the decision as utter bullshit. He argued that those responsible for the closure should feel ashamed, suggesting that the individuals in corporate roles who participated in this outcome should face professional consequences themselves.
The veteran developer questioned the value contributed by corporate leadership, asking what price these decision-makers pay for failure. He expressed frustration that the individuals who perform the actual work of creating games are the ones who consistently lose their jobs during industry volatility.
The closure of BioWare occurred alongside broader layoffs at EA, which impacted approximately 400 employees. Reports indicate that EA CEO Andrew Wilson received over $38.5 million in 2026, marking an increase of $8 million compared to his 2025 compensation.
