What institutional knowledge? Most of the people who made the games we loved at Bioware are long gone... EA found them to be too expensive so they resorted to hiring cheaper "talent" like Heir. Now it's too late, they have the IP but none of the passion and inventiveness.

So the talent was laid off? Resulting in loss of institutional knowledge? Damn.
