BioWare Mythic dropping the 'BioWare' moniker
by Steve Watts, Nov 08, 2012 4:30pm PSTBioWare Mythic is dropping the "BioWare" part of its name, changing its name back to simply "Mythic." According to the company's announcement, this comes as the studio gains a "new focus," but it promises that current projects are still on-track.
The announcement (via GI.biz) was made at the Warhammer Online site. "Everything else stays the same - our passionate teams will continue to support and develop our existing titles as well as working on some new and exciting projects," the announcement reads. Current projects include Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes and Ultima Forever.
Electronic Arts changed the studio's name in 2009, during the height of BioWare's popularity. A series of poor fan reactions to BioWare's products is not necessarily responsible to the name change, but it certainly seems to follow logically.

Back when they were hyping up Star Wars: The Old Republic was when they put the BioWare label on the studio, and when Mark Jacobs left Mythic: http://www.shacknews.com/article/59267/bioware-and-mythic-combine-to

"And you know what they're most proud of? This is the kicker. They are most proud of the sound. No seriously. Something like a 20 gig installation, and most of it is voiceover work. That's the best they have. The rest of the game is a joke. EA knows it and so does George Lucas, they're panicking, and so most of Mythic has already been cannibalized to work in Austin on it because they can't keep pushing back launch. Old Republic will be one of the greatest failures in the history of MMOs from EA. Probably at the level of the Sims Online."
Looking back on it now, what do you think? SW:TOR better or worse than The Sims Online?
