Does Bioware even have a community manager?? The PR has been abysmal, Twitter is such a ball-ache and they rarely reply anyway! Ian Frazier tries his best but they just seem like headless chickens running round. Aaron Flynn seems the master of apologies and Mac Walters seems to have gone in to hiding! 😞
Love Mass Effect but it just seems to be going downhill 😢
Remember that its not Bioware`s fault the game came on the market this way , when you see "EA" attached to a game you know it`s gonna be all about DLC"s that you need to spend extra money on (basically you buy only 60% of the game , and if you wanna enjoy the full game you need to pay extra money) poor optimisation and a lot of bugs because they are rushing the devs to finish it without having time to polish it ...
Gaming industry this day is going down because companies like EA .
I learned my lesson long time ago , hope you guys do the same ...

It is still Bioware's game . They are the developers of this game despite them being a sub company of EA.

Well as I understand it EA can still directly or indirectly influence who gets sacked, so...
Odd thing to say, a game like this is a collaborative effort by many hundreds of people.
If a publisher required that it went out of the door within a certain time frame, that's on them, not BioWare.
Be pleased your job isn't given the scrutiny that a game like this gets
for folk ignorant of game development to throw around silly 'sacking' comments.

First of all you have no idea about how much I know about game development with my 20+ years in gaming, so don't assume what you don't know.
Second, developing a game takes several departments each with a head / team leader / director and this person can most definitely get replaced if they can't deliver at a set deadline, which can be set by a publisher, especially if that publisher also happens to own the company in charge of the development.
So I'm not sure what you are on about.
