ohpleasework Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Large developers often open additional studios. In this case the game was developed primarily by Bioware Austin. I wouldn't call them a subdivision, though, it's not like they're autonomous or receive less funding. They're still Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurfer Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 This game was made by the B team for sure, did you see how unprofessional and unsure of themselves they were during the guild summit? The head PvP guy was terrified and you could hardly hear him speak... This game wont even be a top 10 mmo 5 months from now. Bioware is dead to me, it's clear they are a gimmick company riding off this silly story/voice acting platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISDEnterprise Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'm pretty sure Bioware didn't exist when Star Wars came out. Lucas made Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungan Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) SWTOR was made by BioWare Austin, which is essentially a secondary studio composed of ex-Mythic and SOE devs, with a couple of BioWare Edmonton's writers tossed in (who have since left). BioWare isn't one company anymore. BioWare is EA's new brand name for their RPG division (any new RPG coming out of EA essentially), and does not by default represent the work of BioWare Edmonton (BioWare HQ).

Tuscad Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I just had my friend tell me this... anyone know if this is true? Would explain alot of things. Mythic had the name Bioware inserted at the front, this is why the team that made this is called Bioware Mythic. EA knew the brand name would cause people to buy this without question.

Gungan Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) That would be Bioware, Sherwood Park, Alberta. Canada Sherwood Park is a large hamlet in Alberta, Canada within Strathcona County that is recognized as an urban service area. It is located adjacent to the City of Edmonton's eastern boundary, generally south of Highway 16 (Yellowhead Trail), west of Highway 21 and north of Highway 630 (Wye Road). A suburb of Edmonton... Hence... BioWare Edmonton. Edited May 14, 2012 by Gungan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
