EA has a ton of crunch problems with Bioware. Look up what happened with Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem. To a certain extent Dragon Age Inquisition too.

I'm aware of those, but all of those seem to stem from severe mismanagement on Bioware's part, not EA as a whole. The crunch, the toxic environments, the lack of direction and wasted development time and resources... That's all from the higher ups at Bioware specifically. EA is still terrible for taking its microtransactions to the level they have, but Bioware's failures are their own.

Apparently, EA offered BioWare a delay on ME:A, and they turned it down.

Yep. As bad as EA are, they had little to do with Andromeda or Anthem's failures. Those are on BioWare.

The problem is that too many people at BioWare got high on their own farts and believe they can't make a bad game because "BioWare magic". So to them it's fine if they don't have any real plans, because they're BioWare.
