Bioware in Austin
(The official press release: http://www.bioware.com/bioware_info/press_releases/2006_03_15_Austin/ . Remember, we would NEVER make something this gruesome up. We may have a bit of satarical fun but this is not something that should be joked around with.)
Bioware, the makers of Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect, Jade Empire and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic as well as numerous other titles have opened a second office in Austin. So, now, let’s offer a moment of silence for Bioware.
Firstly, why base outside of Canada? Edmonton has been very good to Bioware. Also, Canada has many other country-wide benefits such as a leadership that doesn’t try to piss off every other country.
Bioware had a number of other great US cities to choose from. Many of them being in California, but they could have also chosen to base their company in cities in such New York City, Miami, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis but they chose Austin, Texas.
R.I.P. Bioware. We hardly knew ye.
