Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

Because if they're shuttered, the company/people that make the company have the opportunity to go somewhere else and do something better. I've disliked everything they've produced since they were purchased by EA, so I've come to think the publisher holds them back.

Maybe they get shuttered or are given more creative freedom thanks to the Saudi's ignorance of RPGs and their perception among executives in the business.

I guarantee you, Saudis really only care about FIFA. Everything else is superfluous.
