In what comes as a surprise, Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka, founders of Bioware have announced plans of departing Bioware. They are retiring. From the very beginning of the company, the two doctors have been synonymous with Bioware, often being the very definition of Bioware(and image). Bioware was bought by Electronic Arts in 2007 and many feared this would spell the end of Bioware producing quality title. Many predicted Bioware would be pushing forth sequels to their games year after year(which is sort of happening). But the acquisition also meant Bioware grew quite big with studios set up handling the Command & Conquer reboot as well as incorporating Mythic(MMORPG developer) into the Bioware stable. The doctors(they are both qualified doctors) have no plans to get back into the gaming industry. As a fan of their work(Baldur's Gate II) I bid them a fond farewell. Adieu Bioware doctors... you will be missed. Certainly a very iconic face of the gaming industry.
