I've hated every Bioware game since EA took over

Got to think about it, yes, DAO was the last game developed by Bioware before EA acquired the studio, and it's also the last game that I've enjoyed from the studio. A studio I worshipped for their amazing worlds, storytelling and gameplay. But it's all gone now, the anticipation for a new game, the excitement of a game reveal, the counting of days for the release.. meh. Perhaps I'm too old for this ♥♥♥♥. Or perhaps it's all turned to ♥♥♥♥?

If I remember correctly, they bought the studio a year or so before DAO release, so they managed to inject some of their corporate garbage into that title too: -The boring mission board MMO quests, some overpowered DLC armor, and the cringe out of place Marilyn Manson trailers.
But most of the development was already complete by the original devs, and so the title was amazing on release. Then after that EA took completey over:
DA2 was a lazy cash grab.
DAI was a grindy snorefest.
And now we have the next one coming up, and it doesn't even look to be in the same universe..
