"Inquisition was the third game in the mainline Dragon Age series but the first to introduce multiplayer features, opening up the solo series to co-operative campaigns with friends."
"While kindly received by critics and selling well at launch, The Veilguard's long-term prospects failed to meet EA's expectations. Layoffs at Bioware followed shortly after."
"Now that gaming is defined by not which games are good but which games survive, it's nostalgic to see off Inquisition on more graceful terms."
Dragon Age: Inquisition, released in 2014, will see its PS3 servers shut down on April 28th, ending its multiplayer features. This game was the first in the series to introduce multiplayer, allowing cooperative campaigns. Despite its success, Bioware's subsequent live-service games, like Anthem, struggled and failed to maintain player interest. The latest installment, Veilguard, also fell short of expectations. The shutdown of Inquisition's servers reflects the industry's focus on short-term success rather than long-term viability, contrasting with the game's decade-long presence in the market.
