With the recent report that EA is abandoning the live service model for BioWare's anticipated Dragon Age entry a series known for its single-player adventures and following the cancellation of Anthem , EA's own Laura Miele has confirmed that the publisher is making a drastic pivot for the foreseeable future. Miele is currently the chief studios officer for EA and she recently sat down with IGN's Rebekah Valentine to talk more about her work and the future of the company.

Within her role, Miele oversees over 6, gaming developers from all kinds of backgrounds working on all sorts of projects. Through her work, she tells the site that she's developed an incredibly intricate understanding of the "complexities and sophistication" of game development, and that insight has furthered her love for the craft immensely.

Miele opened up a little bit about what it is like to empower the studios under the EA name to craft the stories they want to tell. That being said, being able to keep players involved and to turn around gamer asks isn't as easy as snapping one's fingers.

The sports series under the EA name have come under fire more often than not in the past, mostly regarding the more predatory practices of microtransactions adapting a Pay to Win model. Miele told IGN that this type of feedback is being taken in, but making changes to games like this on a larger scale take work and sometimes those changes can take years to be set in motion. With that in mind, taking in player feedback does not translate to making every single gamer out there happy.

Every individual player has different wants, different expectations, and EA is still a business that must appeal to shareholders and investors. That being said, she did add that the publisher is going through a lot of changes presently with the first major course of action being Anthem Next's cancellation. While BioWare detailed why it would no longer continue in a previous statement , Miele added that it basically came down to one question: Does EA continue investing in this — something that a major portion of the community has already deemed a failure — or does the company take those resources and apply them to other franchise, franchises like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and even Titanfall, for a brighter future?

We know which way the company leaned now, which does bode well for those that were concerned about the future of galaxies and a demon-infested Thedas.

For those interested in wall-jumping and chaos, especially with the success of Apex Legends , a part of the pivot does coincide for a drive to continue Titanfall.

While Respawn is hard at work on maintaining Apex Legends and making it even better with new seasons, Miele did add that EA has backed off and has given the studio complete control over what it does with that franchise. So if players want it and Respawn hears that, then a new Titanfall is possible. The first game in the Titanfall franchise was met with mixed reception, but the sequel is where it truly shined.

Gone was the online-only adventure, and instead the second game offered a surprisingly deep narrative that left a positive feeling for the gaming community once the end credits rolled.
