Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Come 2 were a success tho

Not defending woke shit, but that is pure fallacy.

Lmfaooo. Gotta be trolling

In what world is any of that woke? Don’t remember getting lectured about pronouns.

Dont be hijacking shit claiming it as some lbgtwz2xyzw nonsense when it’s def fucking not

It’s sad how they do everything to avoid the issue that everyone makes it clear… is the issue. You can’t have a genuine conversation about this with the troons. There’s no point. They’ll keep doing it and you’ll keep rejecting it.
 
I’ve been watching videos of their last game and damn, how did it get high reviews? It’s cringe AF.

You don't remember gay bear sex in BG3? That was a huge topic

I mean....pretty much.

Steam doesn't need to do anything.

And in fact, PlayStation didn't have to change anything from what they were doing in the PS4 generation but they were determined that they could make more and more money by chasing things....sometimes you have to just appreciate where you are and that you do it really well and not f it up.

I generally have a pretty capitalistic perspective, but public ownership of creative industries have always struck me as a tricky combination.

Public corporations are forced to chase infinite money glitches, because the prospect of growing their consumer segment is increasingly challenging. A lot of why Valve can operate the way they do is because they don't need to hit a specific quarterly or annual target, or at least not in the same way public corporations do.

It's one of the reasons they were able to basically spend the better part of a decade setting up the Proton compatibility layer, which had no short term profitability for them, but in the long run made them much more flexible to compete in an increasingly diverse hardware landscape.
 
Can't say I'm surprised, EA's been actually very lenient towards them. New owners won't have that patience, pre production after 5 years.
That barebone effort into Mass Effect trilogy targeting PS4/Xbox One in 2021 instead of building them natively for current gen was all I needed to know.
 
I just went down the rabbit hole reading goodbyes from ex BioWare on X and checking out their own pages etc briefly.

There’s an abundance of weirdos posting anime porn and internet thotties once employed. One of them is honestly a baddie too tbh 🫣

So bizarre 😂 All this stuff is like HR worthy but it gets a pass. Lmfaoo

I’m not gonna link. Some shit ends up being borderline or straight pornographic. There’s def an absurd amount of let’s say “activitisfs.” It’s sorta fucking bananas and to me it seems like anyone else woukd be scolded for this kind of shit. It’s kinda hypocritical.

Yea, this may have not been the worst move. I can’t imagine they’d shutdown mass effect 5 if it was showing promise. Hopefully they outsource to someone else. Give it to the kingdom come guys. Hit em up. The other mass effect like projects are already in motion.

A good sci fi rog would be great … cuz ya know… starfield didn’t cut it either and the best thing is what… no mans sky? Eh not exactly the same

Yeah I don’t see how they don’t attempt to reboot with another studio. It’ll be a similar situation to 343 and losing halo to Activision.

And honestly considering I truly believe BioWare was infiltrated and overrun by a generation of activists … it may just be better off wiping the whole slate clean and building a new team from scratch or handing it off to a partner.
 
Ummm…. Just to stay ahead of the game here because I’m sure it’ll be news tomorrow.

The discourse around this is insane. The defenders are blaming trump and saudis but the majority of the fans blame BioWare and are absolutely savaging most of the devs. That’s the part that’s wild. It’s more than I’ve seen in the past. And I agree tbh. Bioware has themselves to blame. They had too many chances.

Would i personally have reshaped the studio. Yes sure but once again… it may have been so far gone that a complete wipe was needed.

This shit is bananas. Welp.

Like I said. I expect a reboot with someone else. But BioWare is dead.

I’m not sad. And I adored KOTOR (and 2) and the mass effect trilogy. Wasn’t a fan of jade empire and I kinda hated inquisition. Anthem wasn’t too bad either just half-assed.

RIP but I don’t feel bad. What I knew and loved was long, long gone and unrecognizable.
 
Yea that’s the one drew is writing for and would be the one to watch for that reason alone.

Let me visit this new "planet" which is actually just a corridor mission.

All characters are lifeless and stiff, the same issue I have with Skyrim and Fallout. Two trash boring ips. I gave a chance to both and found them as well extremely boring.

The only thing I liked about ME is the OST. That is 5/5.
