I wish people would get less emotionally attached to these corporate game studios. Like, it’s not the same people. Not the same leadership. Not the same artists. And so on.

It’s just a collection of IP’s, that’s about it. Bioware from 2000 is not the same bioware from 2015 or 2026.

Same can be said for the vast majority of game studios except a handful of indie shops, but do they really count as indie if they’ve been nurturing one IP for 15 years?

It’s more like the Sphere of Knowledge. The more you know about Linux (or pretty much any subject) that more you become aware of subjects you don’t understand. Whereas when you don’t know that much, there are fewer categories for which you are aware of your lack of understanding. Know unknowns vs unknown unknowns.
