The comments here are something else. This event is completely independent of the sales of the game (a game that probably did just fine). She’s a director who left a company after 18 years at the end of a project, which directors often do, because that’s the best way to accept a lucrative offer without burning bridges. 18 years is a long time to stay at the same company.
EDIT: Oh, apparently this departure is a part of some manufactured internet culture war drama. Allow this from Jeff Grubb to clear the air:
Corrine Busch, director of Dragon Age, really is leaving BioWare. But I don’t think EA is closing BioWare Edmonton. Was told there is nothing solid about that part of the rumor.
In her letter, she said she is moving to a new team to work on a new RPG.
Just to give you all the timeline: Two people reached out to me directly with details about the story before I ever saw Grummz or whoever’s tweets (I have all those blocked). Regardless, their posts contained lies to fuel a pathetic culture war, so I never would’ve felt good about crediting them.

Some rightists got triggered because the game didn’t appeal exclusively to them. Of course they’d pick up a departure like this… sigh
