Dragon Age fans are concerned that layoffs at developer BioWare are evidence that the series' future is uncertain - and a single former member of staff appears to be the catalyst for much of that sentiment.
Last night, BioWare said that it had laid off 50 developers to help "ensure Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is an outstanding game." Among those laid off was Mary Kirby, a BioWare veteran who has been at the studio since 2006, since the inception of the Dragon Age series. In the past 17 years, she contributed to all three games and their DLC, and is considered to be the driving force behind one of the series' most beloved characters, Varric Tethras, and some of its best quests.
