EA employees are speaking out about mismanagement, GenAI push and BioWare’s closure🚀
✅Employees report that the "do less, better" mantra has simply resulted in handling the same workload with fewer staff.
✅Upper management is heavily promoting generative AI (specifically Claude), telling staff that adoption is mandatory for the future.
✅Workers believe the technology is being pushed to test how drastically EA can cut headcount while maintaining output.
BioWare’s Decline & Closure
✅BioWare was repeatedly forced to abandon its strengths (narrative choice, consequences, companions) to chase unprofitable live-service and multiplayer trends, wasting significant resources.
✅Studio leadership grew overly reliant on user experience research (UXR) and fear-driven decision-making, stifling creative risk-taking before the studio's closure.

Disappointed, but definitely not surprised. So much of what’s said reflects very much how many of us felt, as it was quite obvious for the last 10-15 years.
Risk-averse development, “do less” mentality, cost-cutting..etc.
I feel really bad for the studios and talents that had to be suffocated under EA’s mentality. It’s obvious what kind of people they were ever since they tried to gaslight gamers into thinking single player gaming to be dead.

I haven't seen the trailer posted for a couple of days, so I'm re-posting it so you don't forget it.

Let's be honest, this kind of tweet is unneccessary and unhelpful. Nobody is forcing anyone to get involved. If you don't think it will work, fine. Go about your day. Let us try, but leave your negativity out of it please. #SaveMassEffect

I honestly think 500,000 signatures can be achieved by N7 day. We just need to keep sharing. Please @IGN @InsiderGamingIG @G27Status @inXile @CDPROJEKTRED @deepsilver @geoffkeighley @XBOX @NintendoAmerica @PlayStation @bethesda helps us reach @EA #SaveMassEffect
We collected 230,000 signatures, and the movement bought a billboard in that damn Times Square—these people aren’t going to let the series go that easily.
Thanks to that brave employee who leaked the trailer. Thanks to you, we know what we could have gotten.

Hello #MassEffect Community! 👋
One of the leader of the #SaveMassEffect campaign,
@kalaelizabeth will be on @Colteastwood XNC Podcast virtually right about now! So be sure to tune in NOW!!!
youtube.com/live/7uxv-zANB5g…
How can this IP die? This was the Star Wars of the videogame industry! What @GambleMike was making looked like the right direction. How can this be really happening, @geoffkeighley? Do something, somebody do something!
This IP means so much to ppl

You could.
Some options if you want some ways to show up besides just signing and sharing the petition:
1. N7 Day Play Day: Saturday, Nov 7th
- Play Mass Effect LE on Steam (best timeslots are 11 AM–2 PM PST (2–5 PM EST / 7–10 PM GMT / 8–11 PM CET). This will create a big spike to show on SteamDB's charts as proof of demand. Console and EA App players can take screen grabs and videos and post them with the hashtag.
- ONLY play what you own. Please don't buy new copies from EA rn, so it doesn't look like the IP is earning just fine while in the vault.
2. DA Day: Fri Dec 4th
- DA fans join in to push under the #SaveMassEffect tag and prove demand for ALL of Bioware's worlds to help BOTH franchises.
3. Game Awards: Thurs Dec 10th
- Post #SaveMassEffect in the stream chats and on your feeds, especially during EA segments
- Follow the Destiny 3 campaign's "play nice" rules: Keep to one message (#SaveMassEffect), No rapid-fire repeats, and don't attack other games, studios, or their fans while they're on screen.
4. Make content
- Youtube shorts, Tiktoks, and Reels: favorite moments, characters, "what Mass Effect means to me," or explain the petition.
- All using the same hashtag and maybe a link or QR to the petition.
5. Buy ad space
- Billboards, especially digital ones which often sell short with affordable time slots.
- Youtube, Spotify, Tiktok, Reddit, and other website ads.
- Pooling money through a transparent crowdfunding website usually goes further than going solo, since many ad platforms have minimum spending
- Use text and original art, not EA logos or official artwork.
- Every Ad should point to the petition
6. For Canadian Fans
- Contact your MP and representatives, from any party. Bioware was an Edmonton studio, and the closure is a Canadian jobs story too.
7. Support the Devs
- Follow and support former BW devs in whatever they do next. We want the people who built ME5 to finish it.
8. Most importantly
- Do NOT harass devs, journalists, or other fanbases. Disagree with an article? Answer it with facts, not insults.
- Every respectful post makes it harder for anyone to dismiss us.
N7s don't give up. Keep fighting. Hold the line.

Fans continue to rally around the 'Save Mass Effect' movement, this time with a billboard at Times Square and more initiatives planned throughout the rest of the year. bit.ly/48mIeiV

Fuck.
If ever a game and IP needed to be saved, it's Mass Effect.
Arc75 #SaveMassEffect retweeted
Mind you Sonic fans bullied a studio into changing Sonic’s design in a movie. SEGA wanted to cancel the whole franchise. That movie became a success and ended up saving it.
Never doubt what a fanbase can do. Now it’s our turn. #SaveMassEffect c.org/88D9JXRvNB
🚨 WE'RE IN TIMES SQUARE!
Together with @kalaelizabeth, we've managed to get a #SaveMassEffect billboard up in Times Square, NYC, all day today!
📍 1560 Broadway, above the Pelé store (Duffy Square)
⏰ 15 seconds every hour at :35
HOLD THE LINE! ❤️

Ideally, saving Mass Effect ends up saving BioWare.
Which ends in saving all of BioWare's IPs.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
Mass Effect = BioWare
they come in package

This is our Suicide Mission.
EA shut down BioWare. Cancelled Mass Effect. Figured we'd quietly walk away.
Instead:
🔴 236,000+ signatures in 6 days
🔴 A #SaveMassEffect billboard in Times Square
🔴 Both Commander Shepards in our corner
🔴 The Expanse devs joining the fight
🔴 Mass Effect's own composers speaking up
The Reapers underestimated us too.
Your mission, Commander:
1️⃣ Sign (link below 👇)
2️⃣ Repost this
3️⃣ Reply with your Shepard's class + your ride-or-die squadmate
No one gets left behind. #SaveMassEffect
