Neither the layoffs nor breaking ties with a playtesting company that knows their worth in the market sound like they’re going to help BioWare make RPGs that can compete with Baldur’s Gate 3, formerly a BioWare series.

BioWare made BG 1 & 2 back in the day, and they started Dragon Age as a spiritual successor to their DnD games as I would imagine (and assume) that EA didn’t want to deal with WoTC with getting the license to a DnD game.
So it’s kind of ironic that arguably one of the best games to come out this year is a Baldur’s Gate game as the new Dragon Age game sounds like it might be languishing in development.
