Goodbye BioWare

BioWare helped shape his reviews. Not quite in the way a developer might hope: Charlie says his disappointment with Mass Effect: Andromeda prompted him to start Moist Meter.

"I was so disappointed with Andromeda, it's what started the Moist Meter," he recalls in "Goodbye BioWare," his commentary on the studio's announced closure and the cancellation of the next Mass Effect project.

The video opens with BioWare's farewell statement on screen. Charlie stops at its inclusion of Anthem among the studio's remembered games: "It's like a jump scare. Why would you even include Anthem here?" That choice also becomes a recurring subject in the comments, alongside memories of discovering the Mass Effect trilogy.

His argument is not simply that EA ruined a beloved developer. Charlie assigns responsibility to both BioWare's own decline and its publisher's interventions, while drawing a distinction between the studio's later disappointments and the classic games it leaves behind.

He then widens the discussion to an article about EA's restructuring, including roughly 400 layoffs and shifts involving Star Wars Battlefront, Apex Legends, Iron Man, The Sims and Skate. The future-facing project list does little to soften his skepticism about EA's live-service ambitions.

About two million views have come to the upload, but the personal connection gives this farewell its particular weight: a BioWare game frustrated Charlie enough to create a review series of his own.
