Comments on: Mark Jacobs To Leave Mythic: BioWare Now in Charge of Both Companies http://www.mmogamer.com/06/24/2009/mark-jacobs-to-leave-mythic-bioware-now-in-charge-of-both-companies Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:29:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonaymous Coward http://www.mmogamer.com/06/24/2009/mark-jacobs-to-leave-mythic-bioware-now-in-charge-of-both-companies/comment-page-1#comment-4076 Anonaymous Coward Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:34:10 +0000 http://www.mmogamer.com/?p=2062#comment-4076 Honestly, we knew this day would come (EA chopping mythic and - after the buyout of bioware - having bioware swallow them), WAR going bust basically spelled that it'd come much sooner than expected. My heart goes to the Mythic employees. In their place, I'd start shipping resumes, I believe they're already way ahead on this, though. Without Mark to protect them, the culture of Mythic is gone, and with bioware's managers being the managers in charge of mythic, you can expect Mythic to take all the heat (terminations/firings) for anything and everything and to suffer the most. This is the same story as with Origin and all the others EA bought, milked, raped and finally dumped.

I do hope the Bioware team will look into the status of their game with renewed vigor and do something to inspire their fans to return to Warhammer by fixing the bugs and balancing the classes and realms instead of releasing more bland and broken classes and dreary content.
