Bioware overrated?

I was having a discussion with a punk.. well a friend, who is a punk who says Bioware is very overrated as a development company. His points are that 1 - They have sold out to the Microsoft Devil and 2 - None of their games are really note worthy

Really I cant believe that. I have played every Bioware game, I still have Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 (with expansions), NWN with expansions and premium modules on my computer, MDK, Jade Empire, KotoR on PC and Xbox, and have enjoyed them all. Yes some of the games have issues (Jade Empire was way to short and minor control issues, KotoR really was amazing but at times was boring, NWN single player was boring but compelling enough to finish).

For me, Bioware is a company that I will buy a game from. Mass Effect Ill buy with out reading a review, playing a demo or anything.

I dont think they sold out, they are doing PC games and a DS game, so that kinda blows the MS Devil idea out of the water but the none of their games are note worthy pissed me off.
