We're starting to see more and more veteran indies, and with Casey Hudson, I hope this new endeavor harkens to the old school Bioware style of creation instead of the EA-influenced one. Curious to see where this goes.

Anything Anti-EA is a good thing!

Some would Say a ‘Surprise Studio’

[benmasta]

As hopeful as this could make me, i've been a gamer too long to get excited about a game company lol

[IQPrower]

Hey remember when Peter Molyneux did that? That went soooo well. Yeah dont give me that “Anti-EA” shit Casey is still the dude who was in charge when “Bioware Magic” was their motto.

[phenompy]

Just remember that Casey Hudson is the guy who PROMISED that Mass Effect 3 wouldn't have a ABC choices type of ending while promoting the game, he also separated the entire writing team from writing the ending and locked himself and other higher ups in a room to write that ending. Basically he's responsible for all the bad things in ME3 while Drew Karpyshyn seems to have been the actual brains behind that franchise until he left.

I always laugh when someone says a person "needs no introduction" and then introduces them in great detail

[SickRidezSale]

Keep in mind. This is the guys that locked the mass effect writers out of their own ending for mass effect 3 and doing what he wanted instead. Also the guy that pushed anthem hard. Will take something incredible for me trust this guy again.

[BornofIron]

Remember when we thought that if Bungie spread their wings, away from Microsoft and Halo, they'd make the ultimate shooter?
That's why I'm not holding my breath.

[Distruptor]

Good, so long as they use less "magic" and more "respect for a healthy life-work balance"

[merryone]

can't wait to never hear about this studio again and find out they were quietly disbanded three years after the fact

[blitzchas]

I'm not believing a word from him until I see some results. Lest we forget about Anthem and ME Andromeda.

[gunzales]

kinda weird how we hear a lot about ex-AAA devs creating their own indie studios and that's usually all we ever hear about those studios :/

[iudexe]

Ah fuck this, last time i saw something like this is when keiji inafune announced mighty no.9 and that game turned into dumpster fire

[BrotherRoga]

It's the same situation as with Dreamhaven. Cautious optimism, people.

[mattstanford]

It’s not difficult to find developers with passion.

It’s the big whigs that you have to look out for. They’re always the ones that choke a company out.

We’ll be watching, Casey.

**6 years later**

**Becomes the same disappointment as EA and Bioware**

[StrikeNoirE]

Casey Hudson was still the person responsible for the ending of Mass Effect 3 iirc, which means that his assurances don't really mean much as far as the quality of games is concerned.

[RED_Theory]

He oversaw the downfall of Bioware and its beloved franchises. Having a new studio doesn't change that.

[losnfjslefn]

Still remember that time he promised ME3 wouldn't have an A, B, C ending... 😆

[JoeyFTL]

He did what he did to ME3, then went on to do Anthem and now wants to pose as some sort of reformed version of his mid 2000s self, come on...
Casey Hudson has long lost his credibility with BioWare fans.
The gamer-at-heart sci-fi fanatic he once was died a long time ago.
