After the death of Dragon Age, it’s a megaton bummer to go back and hear BioWare’s founders talk about the series’ bright future

PCG has rediscovered a hands-on preview of Dragon Age: Origins by Evan Lahti, along with an interview from 2009 with BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk. At that time, the studio was thriving, with both founders expressing optimism about the franchise's future and hinting at sequels. Muzyka noted that Dragon Age would be a franchise with a continuum of experiences, referencing a save transfer feature inspired by Mass Effect. Lahti recalls the excitement of covering the studio shortly after its acquisition by EA. Muzyka defended the artistic integrity of their games against media scrutiny, while Zeschuk commented on controversies surrounding early Mass Effect titles. The interview originally appeared in PC Gamer #198 (UK, March 2009).

A Forbes 30-under-30-er involved in at least 2 Disco Elysium successor studios has sued the lead dev at a third, blocking him from working on a new game

Argo Tuulik, co-founder of the RPG studio Summer Eternal and writer of Disco Elysium, is in a legal dispute with Riaz Moola, founder of Longdue. An injunction has been granted, preventing Tuulik from working on Summer Eternal until April 2025. Tuulik announced the legal action on X, stating that Longdue took him to court. This follows his departure from ZA/UM amid the cancellation of a Disco Elysium expansion, where he raised concerns about project mismanagement. Moola, a notable entrepreneur and member of the Forbes 30-under-30 list, is developing a game inspired by Disco Elysium with a team that includes former ZA/UM developers. Longdue issued a statement confirming that an independent judge ruled in their favor and expressed disappointment over Tuulik's alleged breach of agreements. They noted that attempts to resolve the matter privately were rebuffed by Tuulik. The dispute reflects earlier conflicts that led to ZA/UM's fragmentation in 2021.
