Tell me you wish you were white without telling me you wish you were white. These people are mentally sick
Anthem was perfect, only end game content was lacking and super power frequency should've been dialed down. Legendary music theme as well.
I also loved ME: Andromeda so much! One of my all time best games (never played the old games so I came to it fresh after 2.5 years from release).
If not for private equity wanting BlackRock loans and thus pushing DEI, that fat, purple haired HR manager and political activists would have never been hired.
Get the fuck out of the industry and stay out.
Lack of accountability and handwaiving their failures when fans have been very clear about wtf they don’t like.
and it’s seeing shit like that which leads me to believe shutting them down was the correct move
The cancer spread… BioWare was killed a long time ago. And while I don’t hate anthem (because it could’ve been salvaged when it came out alongside fallout 76 and 76 still lives but EA didn’t have the balls to see it thru)… that was their last game.
Veilguard was eye opening. Glazed by media. Fake reviews. Everything that showed how corrupt and full of shit this industry is. Everyone hated it
I have a buddy who is a die hard BioWare fans since KOTOR first dropped. Has read all of Drew’s books etc. fanboy tier… even he gave up with veilguard
But no… I see too many pink flags blaming trump. He ain’t the boogeyman for everything and that’s not why ea’s BioWare sucked
Their best partner was in fact… Microsoft
The tv show still in production leads me to believe they’re not going to leave mass effect dead. Dragon age has been completely destroyed as an IP but Mass Effect still has a ton of value IMO.
Watch them put respawn on producing the next one after they finish their Star Wars trilogy.
Explain what woke means then.
If having gay characters in a game doesn't make it woke, then having trans and bisexual characters in a game doesn't make it woke either.
There is literally almost NO game that even mentions pronouns in game other than at the character creation screen. So if woke just means "apologize if you didn't use my pronoun", then pretty much no game is woke. Baldur's Gate literally let's you create a woman with a dong and a buff orc dude with a pussy. And let's you fuck everyone you want, there's not a single straight character that goes "I don't swing that way" if you try to romance them unlike in say Cyberpunk 2077. If that isn't overtly woke, nothing is. And that's not even touching on all the obvious metaphorical stories these RPGs include about oppression of and racism against minorities.
You guys just want to twist the definition of woke to suit your retarded "go woke go broke" punchline. Supposedly Sweet Baby Inc is a guarantee for commercial failure, except we have multiple games they consulted on that sold 10m+ copies and are huge financial successes. Then I guess the game must've succeeded in spite of their consultancy, but when the game flops it's 100% because of their input. Catering to minorities by having pronouns and trans character creation options is woke pandering and will cause your game to flop, except when it's Baldur's Gate or Cyberpunk, then it suddenly doesn't count and it's not "woke". How convenient.
Then all the old Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Witcher games are definitely woke. Because they're full of stories and subplots about oppression of minorities.
Lmao, I'm not the one infected with a mind virus, you guys are. You can somehow see Vasquez in Aliens and not see any issue with it (because of nostalgia bias from a time before you got brainwashed) but the moment Gears of War sports a character that is also a butch "one of the boys" female frontline soldier it's suddenly woke propaganda and forcing stuff down people's throats.
If a video game studio made a woman character that looked like this in 2026:
All the grifters would be saying they "uglified" her, made her "look like a man", would make dozens of videos about how she makes the men in the movie look incompetent (since she is one of the last to die in the movie) which is part of the woke agenda and so on.
Hell, they'd probably pull up this pic:
To make some dumb argument about how pretty the actress is and how these "deranged activists" adjust the actress's look on purpose to make her less attractive (like they're doing with God of War Laufey).
Also fun fact: in the original script for Aliens the female marines were supposed to shower alongside the male marines. Kind of woke don't you think? I thought "men" shouldn't be sharing a bathroom/dressing room with women?

I'm not a fan of the art style in the Exodus however the gameplay looks very slick.
Anthem was perfect, only end game content was lacking and super power frequency should've been dialed down. Legendary music theme as well.
I also loved ME: Andromeda so much! One of my all time best games (never played the old games so I came to it fresh after 2.5 years from release).

Andromeda had good gameplay but the writing and characters were all insufferable cunts. This was a game most certainly spearheaded by purple haired men with tits.
R.I.P. Never had a lot of experience with their games, save for Mass Effect, which was an excellent series (Andromeda was dull, quit it after maybe 10 hours). This would have happened even if they were putting out games that were on par with their glory days, it never had a chance to be more or equally profitable than EA's yearly sports slop games.
Industry due for course correction and being purged of this garbage. Altho they’re also sacrifices happening on the altar of AI. Oh well
This was reposted by former Bungie and original marathon director Christopher Barret:
“What has happened in the game industry over the last 15 years is that there came to be a widespread belief that the cultures that incubated excellent games were exclusionary racist, sexist, homophobic boys clubs that needed to change in order to welcome in different kinds of people.
Instead of hiring people who shared their values and sensibilities, the people at these game studios were pressured to push their workforces toward being 50% female while achieving racial equity. The staff of the studios changed dramatically, the cultures of the workplaces changed dramatically and the games changed dramatically.”
“
So there was a huge hiring boom at the precise moment that there was an overarching focus of the demographics of the industry, which means that nearly every Western game studio’s workforce was completely transformed. Over 40% of games industry workers under the age of 25 identified as LGBT or nonbinary on recent surveys.
Additionally, some studios have had unique pressures that have driven a lot of turnover. At Rocksteady Games, for example, a lot of the people who made the Batman: Arkham trilogy were not interested in building the live service game Warner wanted, so most of the principals on those games left the studio during the production of “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.”
The studio cannot pivot back to what used to be its strength at making single player titles after that failure because all the people who are responsible for the classic games are gone. They no longer have that strength. They no longer have the institutional capacity to make great games because great games are made by great people and the great people are gone. A similar thing happened to BioWare during “Anthem.”
They couldn’t just pivot back to making great “Dragon Age” or “Mass Effect” games after the failure of “Anthem” because too many people were gone and the culture had changed. They weren’t the same studio and they weren’t a great studio anymore.
The BioWare that was shuttered today is not the studio that made “Mass Effect 2” or “Knights of the Old Republic.” That studio hasn’t existed for many years. It was just the “Dragon Age: The Veilguard” studio.”

Makes me laugh when I see them blame private equity, the same entity that allowed these talentless, unproductive hacks to even earn a wage.
If not for private equity wanting BlackRock loans and thus pushing DEI, that fat, purple haired HR manager and political activists would have never been hired.

That's sad news, BioWare made some legendary games and pioneered some of the shit in RPGs we still see being copied today. But at the same time they've released multiple commercial flops back-to-back over a 10-year-period. The headline might read like EA killing BioWare but in all reality it was sort of dead for a while already.
Retarded post, BioWare never went woke because they've always been woke. And there are plenty of woke games that are huge commercial hits. BioWare just happened to make games that worked when budgets were in the double digit millions where getting 2-3m sales was enough of a success to secure a future title. But in the modern era after budgets skyrocketed those sales amounts no longer cut it and they couldn't find a way to make these franchises more mainstream. Competition in their genre also became much steeper.
This is an insanely ironic tweet coming from someone who is trying to make money by posting culture wars AI slop. A career at McDonalds would be infinitely more respectable.
BioWare has always been woke, you retards are just the ones that got brainwashed by right wing media networks to suddenly see it as a problem.
Literally every character in Mass Effect is bisexual by default. A character like Jack from ME2 would absolutely get demolished by Twitter right-wing rage farmers if they were part of a new game. I'm pretty sure BioWare introduced the first non-heterosexual character to the Star Wars IP (which was over 25 years old at that point) in the original KOTOR.
BioWare didn't die because of wokeness, it's because they've just been putting out commercial flops since the early 2010s. They wasted years in a delusional bet to clone Destiny with Anthem. Mass Effect Andromeda was a flop. Before that they tried to take on WoW with SWTOR which also didn't work out. And even their successful games always only sold a few million copies only, except for DA: Inquisition. DA: Veilguard sold in line with what their games usually sold, except this obviously no longer cuts it in the 2020s when budgets are now in the 9-digit range.
Or maybe they've just been supplanted by studios beating them at what once made them stand out. Why play Veilguard when BG3 does what BioWare games were known for but even better? Which also is full of "woke" stuff btw.
Nah, people who think "woke" killed BioWare are the dishonest ones. And fall into the typical "the stuff I liked back in the day wasn't actually woke" line of thinking instead of just waking up to the fact that they've become bitter insufferable cunts as they aged. Same people who probably loved the movie Aliens growing up but now are getting rage bait farmed by masked incels on YouTube about a Vasquez-like character in the new Gears of War. BioWare has always been woke.
The real thing that killed BioWare were a decade+ of commercial flops. And most of it was just due to budgets outpacing the sales they were getting on their games, plus a deluded venture into trying to make it big in the live service category, and of course the fact that many studios popped up that have long since beaten BioWare at what made them good. Making choices in RPGs and an interesting cast of characters is just standard fare now, and you don't need decisions carrying over between games when games these days are as big as 3 games from the 2000s and there's 5+ years between every new release. Just because their final game had some over-the-top woke shit in it and also failed to perform commercially doesn't mean that's the reason it died.
ME1-3, famously "not woke" games that have subplots heavily focused on the dangers of racism and let you fuck everyone regardless of their gender and has a bald butch woman tattooed from head to bottom as one of the party members in ME2 and 3.
You can literally make a woman with a dick. And mix and match voice and body types.
Hogwarts has a trans witch you have to interact with to progress the game. CP2077 let you pick genitals, body type and voice independent of each other. Baldur's Gate 3 does the same. BG3 also does the BioWare special aka "everyone is bisexual" shit.
Maybe spend 5 seconds questioning why "activists" would be so eager to work at BioWare. Could it be that their games were always massively popular with the "wokes" and they loved the idea of working at a video game company that makes inclusive games instead of a studio making dudebro military shooter #16?
They are absolutely right. Imagine thinking that supporting your child if they end up identifying as something that is heavily vilified and demonized by large groups in society is a bad thing and should disqualify someone from writing for a video game set in the distant future where space travel is invented.
You guys are genuinely retarded if you think you could time travel 300+ years into the future and land in some sort of right-wing hell hole utopia. Your brain would get absolutely 1-shot by how "woke" everything will be. Your ancestors from 300 years ago would burn you at the stake for the shit you do and believe in, even as a "conservative".
This is a more reasonable take than the people crying about woke. If you read Jason Schreier's book you can see there's definitely a level of delusion that was rampant in BioWare, they called it "BioWare magic". Basically because they got away with fucking around and wasting tons of time and resources in the past and got rewarded for it with great critical reception and sales (for its time) they stopped believing running the company properly was necessary. They just banked on their "magic" bailing them out at the end as always. Turns out their luck ran out.
Eastern European studios can be woke too. The only thing is that anti-woke retards are too stupid to spot wokeness unless a pronoun option or a woman with a short haircut and tough attitude is staring them in the face. Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Blood of Dawnwalker are all progressive games.
If you'd replace white people in his tweets with Black people the same people crying about that shit would be praising him for being "based" and would say the future of whatever studio they'd be working for would be in "good hands".
Wow, that tweet must hit hard if you are mentally challenged. Imagine thinking BioWare was part of "exclusionary racist, sexist, homophobic boys clubs". Or any other successful gaming studio for that matter.
And of course it was liked by a dude who has been ousted from his job for being a sex pest lol. It's always the perverts who get cancelled for being creeps that suddenly become super concerned about political correctness and inclusivity.

I don't think you know what woke means
Explain what woke means then.
Having a female lead or gay characters in game doesnt make something woke. Metroid was not woke in 1986. Blade was not woke in 1998. They were just great.
Its the in your face apologize to me for incorrect pronoun usage. The attempt to hijack things and claim them to be woke, like baldurs gate… is fucking laughable
Witcher 3 is a new one. lol. Geralt is like the ultimate male lead. And let’s not forget how reset era went insane over tranny dick in cyberpunk and banned all discussion .
That makes as much sense as when you claimed warhammer was some gay power fantasy and woke. Like lmfaoooo
This is activist bullshit and that’s all that was left at BioWare.

Bro mentioned female with short hair as if we didn't have Aliens or Red Sonia 1985 and many more. When you are infected with woke mind virus you can't see it or understand it.
