THE MISSION / A VIABLE DEVELOPER-LED FUTURESCROLL TO EXPLORE ↓
OUR FIRST ASK
Bring developers, EA, investors and government to the same table.
↗01 / A REALISTIC PATH
Save the capability.
Build a viable future.
Public attention can open a door. Developers, rights holders and financing partners must decide what can happen next.
NOT YET CONFIRMED
Open a negotiation window
Ask EA to discuss a sale or licence, including relevant assets and game rights. The studio name alone is not an operating business.
Build a funded business plan
Price the transaction, staffing and development runway. Assess private capital, publishing partners and eligible public financing.
Let the community help
Once leadership and a purpose exist, consider transparent support with clear spending, reporting and failure terms.
FAN FICTION / A TRIBUTE TO THE CREATORS
A message
from the stars.
A 30-second, text-only fan scene featuring Shepard, Tali and Garrus. Original fan-written dialogue; not an official quotation or an actor performance.
No sound. Motion respects your device preference.
Read the full fan-written transcript +
Opening: An unofficial fan-written scene. A real thank-you to the creators.
Shepard: Beyond these stars, people imagined every world we’ve known. Every mission starts with someone willing to show up.
Tali: Artists. Writers. Developers. They gave us places to belong, and choices that mattered.
Garrus: Let’s show up for them. Share your story. Make a connection. Listen to the creators.
End card: The next chapter needs its creators. Read the plan. Share your story.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION
A real thank-you
to the creators.
02 / THERE ARE PRECEDENTS
A closure announcement
needn’t be the last word.
IO Interactive
A management buyout secured independence and retained the Hitman rights.
Explore the studio’s history ↗Tango Gameworks
Krafton brought the team and Hi-Fi Rush IP into a new home after a closure announcement.
Read Krafton’s announcement ↗Project Eternity
Obsidian reported US$4.16m in initial Kickstarter and PayPal pledges for a defined game project.
Read the funding breakdown ↗Different transactions, different economics. These examples do not establish BioWare’s price or guarantee a rescue.
03 / THE CANADIAN CASE
Canadian talent.
Global possibilities.
Ask the federal and Alberta governments to assess a viable Canadian-led future for the team: skilled work, creative exports and potential employee ownership.
The Canada Strong agenda offers a policy connection. It is not an approved BioWare funding commitment. This initiative is independent of all political parties.
