QRD on what happened to Bioware?
>>750136076went wokewent broke
they became gay and died of aids
>>750136076They lost
>>750136076Unfortunately sir they uhhhhhh went wokeFollowing that they seemingly uhhhhhh, went broke, sir.
They have made dogshit games for over a decade.
>>750136076They explained it already
>>750136246billy clitty has aids too, but he's still kicking
>>750136076corpse puppeteered by corporate necromancers for a decade has finally withered into dust
>>750136076trump shut them down for daring to fight fascism
>>750136076>leftgoids take control of [thing]>[thing] hemerages money and then crashes and burnsTale as old as time
Saudis said they won't cut their heads off for being gay, but did anyway. Private ownership doesn't need to follow EGS scores, especially in the KSA.
>>750136409This. Trump gave them an ultimatum, shut down Bioware or were beheading Colbert live on television. Unfortunately they took the deal
>>750136076Right wing fascism has murdered brave trans folx of colour
>>750136197It's "go woke get broke" tho.
>>750136076Hasn't made a non-retarded game in 12 years.That's it.
they stopped making good video games, so the games they did make (bad) didn't sell, and the company that owns them didn't want to keep spending money without making any of it back
>>750136351this goes hard
>>750136409Man TDS is a wild affliction
>>750136246Beautifully put
>>750136246Pottery
>>750136076the did a bharv>vnr
>>750136076Look at their lineup since DAI.In the past 12 years they released a remaster, a sequel to Mass Effect that everyone made fun of, a giant live-service flop and Veilguard which as far as I know it did kind of alright but nothing special.I'm surprised they kept the lights on for this long like this.
>>750136708I thought Veilguard sold broke records
>>750136409after years of coasting on usaid while hiring nocoder commies and pushing tranny agendas having trump shut it down has been a disaster for them lmao
>>750136513This isn't funny!Blood is on your hands and all of this could have been avoided if only we appointed a Joe Rogan of the left
Western game studios have unfortunately turned into high level scam industries. The higher ups have absolutely no intention of delivering a viable product, let alone any product at all, but they string along the higher-ups for years with pie in the sky promises to receive forward money. They use that forward money to invest in completely different ventures and leave their "game company" to list and waste. Eventually, when the board comes knocking, they blame it on COVID and "changing landscapes", shake hands with each other, and walk away to their Mcmansions.
>>750137192My theory was dark Blackrock money funding propaganda.
>>750136076Skinwalker game studio releases too many awful games that flop and finally goes out of business.Many such cases.
>>75013607615 years of bad games that were mostly unfinished and bug ridden at release.
>>750136076it's been 20 years since they released a good gameand mass effect next was in "early stages" despite being workd on for over 7 years.
>>750137296You're brown, so everything is a Jewish psyop to you, but reality is far more depressing. These people actually WERE trying to make money. They just had the least efficient method in human history.
>>750136197Naw, it's >go broke>get wokethen>croak
>>750139695>croakits "smoke" now
The one thing that has always confused me is that the left celebrate woke elements, then when you say>"This game is woke." they pretend it's not. Is woke not a good thing to them? I really don't get them at all.
>>750137535I guarantee you I'm whiter than you friendo
>>750139745No it isn't you stupid fucking esl. Get off my board.
>>750136076Replacing competent workers with quotas hired due to legal mandates. Being EA a company with profitable products, EA Sports, it made sense to consolidate the incompetent staff into a single studio, ensuring they wouldn't jeopardize the products that truly mattered. Every once in a while they could release a product just to justify their salaries. You never know, maybe one of them would actually strike gold. Eventually, they were bought by the Saudis, who looked at the numbers and were like "Why are you keeping these people employed?" And just like that, well, au revoir! (but in arab).
>leveraged buyout from private equity >reduce overhead and sell assets to finance the 10x debt increase EA just got handed (2 billion to 20 billion with high interest) >shut Bioware down >sell IP for cheap later maybe
Saudi's bought them and got tired of their bullshit.
>>750136076Reality always catches up.
>>750139802leftists have been trying to rebrand woke to communism, anything else is deemed Woke 1.0 compared to 2.0. Of course, they still firmly believe in Woke 1.0 so it's a cute little exercise.
>>750139802It’s the ancient jewish tradition of acting outraged when you’ve been discovered.
>>750136076EA was purchased by Saudi's/Kushner in a massive leveraged buyout (Basically take out a big ass loan to buy the company and then make the purchased company responsible for the loan) that put's EA in massive debt with large fucking interest payments. The interest payments alone are about equivalent to all the profits EA was making. So they need to make more money somehow if they plan to pay down that debt and make a profit. Their stated strategy is to "leverage AI" as much as possible to make the company more profitable. Unspoken is that making the business more profitable most means firing people to bring costs down and just continuing to lean on EA Sports stuff. Mass Effect was a big risky bet that was early in development. And Bioware's most recent game was big expensive commercial flop with terrible writing and very few fans. So not exactly confidence inspiring. ME probably would have course corrected from that somewhat, but who knows if it would have been back to the glory days. Meaning it was easy to cut their losses at this point and the Saudis probably don't care about the none EA sports stuff all that much anyway. So Bioware and all it's people are axed.Basically expect EA to just be "EA Sports powered by AI" from now on, with a couple FPS games from Dice and Respawn on the side. Anything else is likely dead.
>>750136076gender confusion and delay
>>750136076The people that made their games worth thinking about left the company in the years almost immediately after they went from being a private self-funded studio like Obsidian used to be pre-Microsoft, and getting bought by EA.In 2008 they moved from a workplace you could ride a bike to, to a large open office space that you had to drive to, and opened 2 other studios in Montreal and Austin under the EA banner and expected the studio to work on 3 projects at the same time, while using the cross-studio work to take the lion's share of production issues.A lot of people just saw that being made and went "nah I'm good" and quit for greener pastures. So from 2008 to 2010 most of what used to be BioWare had quit, and then it took the industry another decade to recognize that BioWare is already a ship of theseus, and the reason DA2 sucked shit and the reason Mass Effect 3 had an inauthentic finale, was because the guys that used to direct and write the best parts of the games weren't there already, by 2011-2012 when it released.Then a bunch of crybabies latched onto BioWare as they shifted away from intellectually interesting RPG games, to "Cinematic Character Driven" nonsense with Dragon Age Inquisitions, Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda, and then by Andromeda the faces animated so poorly that even the woketard fanbase couldn't defend it anymore.Then they made Anthem and lost their whole audience except for some retard gamer-zoomoids who think a game with Iron Man suits and MCU-like elements was cool as fuck.Then they made Veilguard and became laughing stock again.And now they're dead. But they actually already died in 2008. Those of us who were there, already went through the grief almost 2 decades ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MlatxLP-xs
>>750136076end of rine
>>750136076Why is the frog trapped in there?
>>750141474That was comprehensive, thanks anon.
>>750136197>>750136280>>750136457I thought chuds lost tho??
>>750143357.....the chuds.....They've won.....
>>750143191He's shy
>>750136076Mass Effect Fourve was supposed to be their last chance to quit fucking around and make a damned game, but the DEI lunatics broke out of their kennel and started biting visiting EA execs and Saudi investors during a studio visit, so they said enough was enough and finally shut them down.
>>750136076Instead of hiring based on talent or merit they hired based on whether you were a demented pedophile freak or a normal person and they hired the talentless pedophiles and they ran the company into the ground.
>>750136076they owned the chuds
>>750136076They made unprofitable games and lost money.
>>750136076Bioware had been underperforming for a long time and EA decided to finally pull the plug.
