Spector pushed back against critics claiming the shutdown was a sound business decision, pointing directly at massive executive pay increases while thousands of developers lose their jobs.
"The tragedy of so many layoffs the last few years hasn’t been lost on me, but for some reason, BioWare hit me on an emotional level nothing before had," Spector wrote. "I was gut-punched."
He also called out total executive payouts for FY2026:

Stuart Canfield (CFO): $11.3 Million
Jake Schatz, (CLO): $8.4 million

"Tens of thousands of do-ers and makers are out of work and these people think they're worth that kind of compensation?" Spector added.
