Can you imagine if Hollywood worked like this?

yea, we moved Stephen Spielberg and some other senior leaders to different rolls. He just seems he's a better fit for the "Cliffhanger" project. We just don't envision that Amblan Entertainment needs our full attention now and they have all our confidence going forward with their "Schindler" property.

EDIT: I forgot: what's the difference? Unions probably.

Yes, I can imagine that. Happens all the time

Let's move the well known director to a new project and let someone completely unknown handle the sequels to an already established brand.

Anyway, how many people that had any actual say in the original Mass Effect still work at Bioware?

The difference is Hollywood directors names sell.

There are an enormous number of reasons why the video game industry could never work like Hollywood above and beyond unions.
