Bloomberg reports that, following EA's layoffs and restructuring at BioWare, the studio now has fewer than 100 employees, down from more than 200 during the development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Meanwhile, at its peak, BioWare consisted of three studios and, conservatively, over 400 employees. Interestingly, Bloomberg's sources say that the plan to «loan» BioWare developers to other EA studios while the next Mass Effect was in pre-production was put in place shortly after The Veilguard launched, but before its sales failure came to light.
Regardless of The Veilguard's ultimate performance, former BioWare producer Mark Darrah's prediction that the studio had become a one game at a time outfit was on the money, and many devs would have had nothing to work on before Mass Effect entered full production.
Those relocations were made permanent following the news of Veilguard missing its sales target by 50%, with an additional 20+ full layoffs on top of that.
According to Bloomberg, BioWare's staff is now down to fewer than 100 people. During development of The Veilguard, the studio had over 200 employees.
