Don't make a game if you can't raise the money yourself.
Your project over 4-5 years going to cost you 40 to 70 million, raise it.
Instead of wasting all that time on a project and not have anything to show for it is unintelligent.
Don't put the life of any good project into the hands of a greedy firm or organization because they only care about the money it will bring in, not what the project will do for the industry.
After what Bioware did with SWTOR I declare the good Bioware studio dead. EA has destroyed the studio just like it does with all great studios and turned Bioware into a brand. They will stamp the Bioware logo on any project that they want to see huge revenue from, but the project could just as well any in-house studio they have under the umbrella.
A good studio with a budget of 150 million dollars would have made a much better game.
I'd also like to mention that I hope every developer out there learn from this event and build their own IP instead of licensing so THEY get to decide when their game goes offline.
