Таки да, упор на "изгнание хананеев из земли обетованной", цитаты от бывших разрабов и самый яркий отзыв об игре :

"I have been working at BioWare full-time
Pros
Many great people
Family-oriented
Some highly talented people there
Makes great games
Generous time off at Christmas
Cons
High level of politics and nepotism, especially among the senior leadership
Edmonton is a cold city with the studio in an uninteresting part of town
Lower salary compared to other studios
Crunch lasts between 6 months to over a year
Difficult to advance unless you are good friends with senior leads
Advice to Management
Talent is being lost; many reasons are because of the leadership. Listen to employees concerns and act, instead of driving them away. Be humble and check the egos at the door."

"Putting people on performance improvement program (PIP Program)
is the new tactics to get rid of people. Once again more than 10 people
in Montreal got slammed with this bureaucratic uppercut to let go people
that are not bending to Edmonton leadership styles in the last revision
cycle. This approach is used by the Montreal Leadership to purge the
mess from the lack of vision cause by upper management in the last 4
years (throwing people under the bus to protect bad core management).

Renaming crunch to Finaling mode. Which means company pays for
your lunch but you have only 30 minutes to eat and then getting back on
the keyboard. Was lasting for over 2 months and was a real catastrophy.
Retaliation and harassment is sadly a reality. If you talk and
ask questions you will be tag as a trouble maker and end up in a bad
position."
