Surprise surprise as a once mighty developer has core staff leaving after being bought out by a large company.

Any guesses on a time frame for Bioware staff from EA?

Didn't some of them leave recently to go work on that Banner Saga game or whatever it's called?

He seems to have come out talking about Kinect now that he's gone:

I think he's probably still quite bitter over Project Milo.
He's clearly an advocate of Kinect, as he thinks controllers aren't the way forward, but I guess they didn't given him the free reign to really do what he wanted with the project. There was also a lot expected of him with Kinect, but his comments on Fable seem to suggest that rather than finding a good and natural use for Kinect in a game, he was being made to integrate it for the sake of it.
