Seriously, whats with all these developers plastering "Ex-Bioware employees" on everything as if it actually means anything. More and more developers have gone indie and you hear this for every single time. Disgruntled employees or employees who wish to create their own vision now need a kickstarter to help fund their games! They're founded by 3 Ex-Bioware employees! Oh wow I just shit my pants from reading that! Fuck off. No one gives a shit where you came from.
Its not just indie games either, we have big name companies who go "This entirely new IP we're making has Ex-Bioware employees working on it!" Is Bioware even relevant now? I think after the shitty trio that is Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, SWTOR they put out recently most people would read that with some skepticism. First of all, who are these millions of employees from Bioware, and secondly which employees are they? Of course its not just Bioware but the most common ones you see are Bestheda, Bioware, and Blizzard. No one gives a flying fuck about the rest. You never hear anyone go "We used to work at this so and so company!" They want a big names like Bioware to show that they were good enough to play with the big boys.

Not sure if I would wear 'ex-bioware' employee as a badge of honor anymore...
In fact, I'd stay the hell away from those guys. They're hopelessly out of touch with their games and up in some kind of ivory tower. The fact they haven't humbled themselves any only underlines that they haven't wisened to their mistakes.
