David Gaider, en legendarisk manuskriptforfatter og en af skaberne bag Dragon Age-universet, har afsløret at studiet Bioware tidligere havde meget svært ved at huse to distinkte hold, som håndterede henholdsvis Dragon Age og Mass Effect.
I en serie af beskeder på Bluesky fortæller han om en slags tvist de to studier imellem:
"You see, the thing you need to know about BioWare is that for a long time it was basically two teams under one roof: the Dragon Age team and the Mass Effect team. And they didn't get along. The company was aware of the friction and attempts to fix it had been ongoing for years, mainly by shuffling staff between the teams more often."
Gaider endte med at forlade Bioware efter han blev flyttet over på projektet "Dylan", som senere skulle blive til Anthem. Han siger dog at EA altid foretrak Mass Effect.

"EA *always* preferred Mass Effect, straight up. Their Marketing team liked it more. It was modern. It had action. They never quite knew what to do with DA, and whenever DA outperformed ME, ME got the excuses. If you ask me, it was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins."
