Mythic + BioWare restructuring
EA has reorganized Mythic and BioWare and kinda / sorta / maybe merged them. In name at least, they’ll remain separate but basically the gist of it is that the two docs at BioWare are in charge and Mark Jacobs gets flicked off the gameboard. If you want the more complete description + commentary I recommend reading Lum’s take and Keen’s take, each with their own perspectives.
This is probably a reflection of the current status quo: The upcoming big expectations of the next game versus the somewhat disappointing results of the last game. If you recall, EA also restructured soon after Mythic was acquired.
I admit I’m not a fan of Mark Jacobs. As a personality he’s um… large, but that didn’t stop me from trying Warhammer. There’s an inappropriate temptation to roast him right now, but I only met him once and that was years ago. You could probably get more mileage from the opinions of Lum (who worked at Mythic once-upon-a-time) or Keen (who’s interviewed Mark more recently).
