'None of these people have ever made a game,' BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk says of game industry executives: 'They just don't know how it works'
In a rare interview, Zeschuk said the closure of BioWare is sad, but his greater concern is for the people put out of work.
BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk has spoken out about game industry executives, stating that they simply do not understand how games are made. Despite having retired from the industry, Zeschuk recently returned to the spotlight following the shutdown of BioWare by Electronic Arts. He expressed sadness about the situation, particularly for the people at the studio who are now unemployed.
Zeschuk emphasized that those who have not personally developed games lack crucial knowledge about the process, stating that they don't know how it works. He also criticized the trend of merging studios and using AI to recreate games, asserting that it doesn't work. Zeschuk, however, remains content as a consumer and has no desire to return to game development.
