BioWare might end up in a similar place as Origin, but it's taking a different route there. Origin "drowned" in series of failures and disappointments. BioWare has been doing well at EA, with one success after another. Dumbing down their games hasn't hurt sales. In the end we might see BioWare name gone, the BioWare founders pushed out of the company and EA releasing RPGs that really don't have anything in common with the BioWare RPGs of old. At a company like EA that seems pretty much inevitable, but they don't seem to be following the Origin script in this case.
