What if Larian had shut down after Divine Divinity?: Star Trek Online exec scorns publishers who close teams like BioWare in favour of AAA veteran start-ups and AI magic beans

Marrone's comments come in response to EA closing BioWare yesterday, but he takes aim at closures and layoffs across the industry.
