The release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has disappointed fans and EA, mainly due to its troubled development process that struggled under the influence of a live-service model. Bloomberg's report highlights internal conflicts within BioWare, where the Dragon Age team felt undermined by the Mass Effect team. Communication breakdowns and resource allocation issues hindered the game's development, leading to a lack of the narrative depth and player choices found in previous titles. Following the launch, BioWare faced layoffs and is now focusing on a smaller team for the next Mass Effect game.
It always seemed that, when the Mass Effect team made its demands in meetings with EA regarding the resources it needed, it got its way. But Dragon Age always had to fight against headwinds.
As the Mass Effect directors took control, they scoffed that the Dragon Age squad had been doing a shoddy job and began excluding their leaders from pivotal meetings.
