As a person that worked at BioWare for 10 years. This is my theory. They just laid off 50 people src: https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/23/23843096/bioware-layoffs-dragon-age-dreadwolf-mass-effect Based on my current knowledge, Dragon Age and Mass Effect are still on; however, kotor 3 was pretty early. Some people suggested the 50 people were from swtor, however, BioWare Austin was sold to another publisher Broadsword: https://forums.swtor.com/topic/929816-an-update-on-the-development-of-swtor/
When i was at EA, support orgs were moved to internal EA and only the game team was specic to the studio. 50 people does not equal support, 50 people is a new project.
I theorized they cancelled kotor 3 then laid off a bunch of people, then transferred a bunch of people to mass effect and dragon age. I've been through 2 layoffs with EA and this is exactly what they do. It's a shame because it was a long held passion project for a lot of the devs.
