Like many RPG fans, Spiders CEO Jehanne Rousseau loves BioWare's classic Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Knights of the Old Republic games but was disappointed by the developer's recent work. She still hopes the company can return to its roots, but for now her team is working to make the games they want to play.
