## Summary

BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk criticised game industry executives who, he said, assume successful games can be recreated by combining inexperienced teams with AI. His comments followed Electronic Arts’ decision to close the Edmonton-based studio, renewing debate about AI’s role in development and the expertise needed to make games.

Zeschuk said he learnt about the closure through text messages and had already said an emotional goodbye to the studio when he and fellow co-founder Ray Muzyka left in 2012. He expressed particular sympathy for staff now facing job searches. The article also notes that Epic Games is encouraging developers to use generative AI tools, while saying AI may not have caused BioWare’s closure.
