There’s been a Dragon Age sequel in some form of development for a decade. It’s not that surprising, people are gonna churn. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I haven’t stuck around in a single job for 15 years ever.
I’m not her and I’m not there, but I’m not sure what “being pushed out by other employees” would even mean. That sounds like something that happens in a nature documentary about lions, not games studio.
By being pushed out, I mean when other employees either don’t like you, disagree with your personal views, or whatever else would cause them to view you negatively, begin to treat you badly. They might give meaningless tasks or make your work seem trivial, or they might leave you out of group activities you otherwise wanted to join, especially if they know that. Basically creating a hostile working environment in a way that isn’t likely to get HR to agree with you when you report it, and more likely that HR will think you are crazy.
Essentially, due to the way other employees treat them or make them feel, they can feel pushed out of the company. Forced into taking the option to leave because a previously enjoyable job is now insufferable because of the other employees.
Yeah, no, I got the intent, it just seems like… a random thought? Why would that be the case? You just think the other writers are jealous of someone who was there for fifteen years and just… mean girl’d them out of the company?
That’s not a plausible scenario. Or at least not the first think you’d leap to.
When it comes to the games industry, it’s a lot more common for that to happen, especially with writers and musicians so it’s not that weird to jump to that conclusion.
The whole industry is still fairly new and has a lot of… Lets say Immature and big ego people. This wouldn’t even be the third time this year I’ve heard of a big name or group in the games industry being bullied or harassed out of a position by jealous coworkers or managers with inflated egos.
Its quite plausible. Veilguards writers were bad at their jobs, and her writing for Emmerich only served to make the other writers look even worse. I could absolutely see this happening, I have seen it happen at less creative jobs over way lower stakes than this.
No, it is not. Just isn’t. Not a thing in Bioware, to my knowledge. Not a thing in the industry at large, either. This is an extreme leap you’re making.
Displeased with management decisions? Absolutely. Frustrated by working conditions? Rarer than you’d think but it can happen. Abused and harassed by a manager or a coworker, particularly for a woman, and receiving insufficient protection from HR? Unfortunately possible, but definitely not my first or second guess when somebody announces they’re leaving a studio.
“My coworkers are jealous of my talent and are mean to me” is science fiction.

See above. Gonna need names and sources for that one.
