BioWare co-founder says game executives have never made a game

Original: BioWare co-founder: game execs "have never made a game" and don't get it

Greg Zeschuk, who co-founded BioWare and helped create Dragon Age and Mass Effect, says most video game industry executives have never actually made a game and therefore do not understand how development works. His comments come amid widespread layoffs and cost-cutting across the games industry, where studio closures have fueled criticism that leadership decisions are being made by people without hands-on development experience.

Why now: Ongoing industry layoffs and studio closures have made criticism of executive decision-making resonate with developers and players.
