KOTOR was one of my favorite games of all time. Why don't they make games like that anymore?
replies:
BioWare died long before this shutdown. And keep in mind not a single person who worked on their best games still worked there yesterday.
(Okay, maybe one or two did still work there, but you get the idea.)
I assume this means SWTOR is finally at an end state after 15 years?

Really sad to hear that BioWare is closing its doors after 31 years. I can't say it's entirely surprising given how difficult the last decade has been for the studio, but it's still a shame to see another enormously influential name disappear from the industry. This was the developer behind Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2, among so many others. What an incredible run of games they had :(
I've written a little piece looking back at BioWare's history, some of my favorite games from their glory days, and how depressing it's becoming to see so many studios shutting down. Whatever you think of BioWare's more recent output, I think gaming is a little poorer without them.
Clearly the news has been covered and re-covered, so this is just a brief look over their work.

Reality is bioware died years ago.
