BioWare co-founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk reflects on the unfortunate launch timing of Jade Empire, criticizing Microsoft's advice to release the game just before the Xbox 360's debut. He believes a delayed launch could have not only strengthened the title but also paved the way for a new franchise. While acknowledging the game's combat flaws, Zeschuk remains hopeful as BioWare shifts its focus towards the next Mass Effect following recent restructuring and challenges with Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
