EA to close Bioware

[Waluigi]

I'm not the anti-woke type, but some of the things I've seen from Veilguard were pretty embarrassing. It's nonetheless sad to see them go under.

Their last two releases were Andromeda and Veilguard, two absolute woke disasters. I’m trying to have some sympathy but it’s difficult.

Don't forget about Anthem - maybe not woke, but a disaster in its own right... No big studio can survive making three misses in a row...

I actually liked Anthem Had a solid 20 hours of fun beating the campaign. I played it solo

It was a complete disaster on the live service front tho

Sad to see that wokism ended with Bioware, Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

The 'go woke go broke' graveyard grows, let's hope it at least helps other teams to learn from it and avoid future similar cases of iconic studios and IPs getting ruined by wokism.

Companies have to reject activism and DEI, and to stop hiring and promoting considering the gender, skin color, originl, sexual preferences or identities to increase quotas, and instead to go back to hire and promote only based on meritocracy (results, knowledge and working experience independently of everything else).

Plus also need to stop using internal and external wokism censorship teams like SBI to follow the social engineering agenda of the western economical elites trying to appeal demographics not interested in certain genres or themes and settings, or that are a too small group to justify certain budgets having them as main audience.

They must go back to primarly target the type of player who by far is the largest demographic group among those who spend their money and time on each game type. They have to focus on what their players wants, no what Blackrock, Soros, etc wants.

Why? You can't make a pie out of dog shit. I mean you can but don't be surprised when no one wants to eat it. Although there are some perverts into shit fetish, I guess

All of those IPs carry value and now they're gone forever. And Dead Space Remake was excellent.

 

[Entropi]

End of an era. RIP BioWare.

 

[Prometheus]

Holy shit. I know they sucked lately but, fuck.

And Mass Effect is dead now. First Dead Space now this. Fuck this industry.

This.

I hated Veilguard but this news is devastating.

There is no RPG like the Mass Effect series and I'm quite sad we won't ever see another Mass Effect game again.

Awful news.

Why? The Dragon Age: The Veilguard woke slop was praised on the media. IGN gave 9

I think it highlights IGN -and similar- scores are getting very irrelevant, and obviously don't pay budgets, salaries and bills.

Holy shit. I know they sucked lately but, fuck.

And Mass Effect is dead now. First Dead Space now this. Fuck this industry.

I assume after the acquisition they tried to fix and save the studio and current projects but were in a too bad state where they couldn't be saved.

I think the Mass Effect and Dragon Age IPs still have potential, they just need to find a proper team who can deliver on it, similar to what Larian did with Baldur's Gate 3. A game that despite having some wokism it was a great game for those who play this type of games. Who knows, maybe in the future they may sign Larian (or similar) to work on a Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

So Bioware commited suicide, but I think the IPs will continue alive even if obviously now will need to find a team (or build a brand new one, maybe with former key devs from Bioware and similar teams) to work on them and start from scracth. So we'll have to wait some years to see their next game announced.

 

[Vertigo]

Wow

 

[Vertigo]

Hopefully they can reboot mass effect ip. That BioWare was long gone obviously.

Inquisition is where they lost me. I didn’t hate anthem. Andromeda was a slog. And veilguard looked like unrecongizable woke slop that I can’t bring myself to play for free even with plus.

Not sad. Just surprised to hear.

Man, killed all of them with a single strike, that baddie at the end.

 

[Sloane_Ranger]

The Bioware I loved died a long time ago

 

[Shadow2027]

Hey atleast they owned the chuds right. And anyone remember Jason’s flop all the way to the top line lol.
Another huge win for gamers clearly showing their bullshit isnt wanted in the space

Dead space was excellent due to Original studio making a phenomenal job. I love DS2 in particular

Sad about Dead Space as that was genuinely a great product motive made but bioware has put out 3 steaight massive turds and financial bombs. That talent has been gone for close to 15 years

EA is clearly just going to bank on sports games and Star Wars now.

EA is clearly just going to bank on sports games and Star Wars now.

Their output has been multiplayer games and will continue to be so. Very few single player games from them. I think they should sell off the Mass Effect and Dragon Age IP.

Doubt anyone wants them.
