would nationalizing EA's assets be good or bad for video games as a whole?
>>750167114We need LGBTQAI+ games to be funded by taxpayers because it's educational.
>>750167114if it happens to EA and Activision then yes because they're monopolistic as hell and water down/kick out any actual talent and replace them with retarded nepobabies with a few old legacy devs kept mainly to trot around for the fans at hype shows when they need them to preorder the newest brand of slop
Sure wish gaming didn't have this obnoxious obsession with giving hacks a pass just because they made a good once, a decade ago.BiowareBethesdaBlizzardInsomniacRareTim SchaferMolyneuxMiyamotoKojimaThey all belong in the trashcan of history
>>750167114Avi Lewis huh?
>>750167114>run it themselves>it goes to shit and proves bioware's downfall wasn't just because of "muh private equity"
>>750167114I mean the Saudis are already buying up companies.Why not, whatever. It's all fucking weird these days anyway.
>Private earnings>Nationalized losses
>>750167114was Bioware a canadian company?
>>750167759yes
>>750167114>CanadaAre those North Montanans fucking stupid? Did throwing money at Ubisoft teach them nothing?
would mass effect be in the public domain if they did this? because if so that'd be pretty cool, sure a lot of fanfiction garbage would be made but some autists would probably be able to put together something half decent
If they do that they'll be outing themselves as Communists."The state shall control the means of production"You really think a governments just going to bail a company out and then "give" the money away. If you believe this I have a bridge to sell you at a great limited time price.
>>750168027we've been doing liquor communism in canada since the 1920s
>>750167952No its currently a EA "property" as long as they own Bioware. They could argue it still is even if they sell it.EA would have to go bankrupt and the franchise would have to be abandoned for a couple of years to allow it to become public domain.Copyright for games is way to strict in my opinion. Should be more like wasn't patched for 10 years its free use.
reminds me of how everyone used to venerate ubisoft montreal in quebec to an obnoxious degree, even after all the far cry and assassins creed sequels.
>>750167114proof these foid daycare shareholder frauds have wormed their way into government
>>750168147As a non Canuck that's wild to me.
>>750168194>couple of yearsIt was 60 years. Or maybe 80.Which is why various Charlton comics characters are now public domain because Charlton as an entity doesn't exist to renew the rights.
>>750168302Many countries have nationalized selling hard liquor. Mostly nordic countries they had historically nothing to do during the long winters but drink and chase your family into the snow.
>>750168302>>750168147>>750168616the government of ontario also has their own state run online weed store
>>750168850they allow private stores to operate too though
>>750168883>buy government weed and get it delivered to you by a government mail carrier what a strange country i used to have to go to a trailer park for this shit
>>750169115i worked on a pot farm for two years. if you told me i'd be doing that back when i was in high school, i wouldn't have believed it.ontario's alcohol laws are fucking ridiculous though. for the longest time i don't think you could even buy beer in convenience stores. where i'm from you can buy some microbrewery shit in almost any convenience store.
>>750167114Wasn't Bioeware founded by medics? I'm sure they still can make a living
>>750169376Yes, but they are Canadian medics, they just prescribe you with KYS
Is there any precedent of a sucessful state owned video game?
>government funded adult daycare for woke tranniesCrazy thing is Canadians will see this and vote for it
>>750169547Tetris
>>750167114i don't think it would work, sure you can argue that private equity made the studio go to shit, but all you have is a shit studio now if you bail them out.the current bioware isn't the same bioware that made those classic games from before the EA buyout. they'd make another flop that doesn't make its money back and shutter for good.
>>750171024we all know this but do politicians and normalfags? i shudder when i think about how much of my tax dollars went to ubisoft
>>750168147>>750168302>>750168850I see your liquor communism and raise you a government-owned gambling monopoly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAB_New_Zealand
>>750172785When do we get kiwi uma musume?
>>750167114Ubisoft was practically nationalized kek
>>750167114they already made most of it, may as well just give it them if you dont want it
>>750167114>Canadians being faggot commie cucks Wow. I'm not shocked one bit
>>750167114>goberment interventionkek, are bioware and maple syrup the only things that those fucking leafs have going for it?
>canada constantly throwing money at ubisoft and now potentially the corpse of biowarefucking stop you morons, you don't need to subsidize them just bc they made good games decades ago
>>750168194It is only for trademarks, the copyrights probably will enter a legal limbo.
>>750167114>state funded sodomy propagandaYep, that's Canada.
>>750168027The guy who said that leads the far left party
>>750167114So Canadian taxpayers gonna get fucked in the ass with more troonslop?
>>750173321Makes a lot of sense when you read Avi Lewis's early life section and check out what his family members are known for.
It worked out really well when the state of Rhode Island got involved with vidyaKingdoms of Amular ended up being a massive success and everyone involved made bank.
HOPE THAT NIGGER PUSSY FAGGOT GARBAGE COMPANY DIESWATCHING IT ROT FOR 15 YEARS ON /V/ WAS ONE OF THE TRUEST EXPERIENCES IVE HADTHAT NIGGER COMPANY WAS ALWAYS A "NERD" AND "NIGGER" COMPANYFUCK THEM
As long as the chuds are crying, it’s ok.
>>750173589Man... I hate that I hate that game. I want to like it and always remeber it well, but everytime I try to play it I drop it in the swamp area.
>>750167759OG was out of Vancouver
>>750168302It's a relatively common trick for governments to raise revenue.In Sweden, all liquor stores are controlled by the government + you need to be 20 years old to buy from them, which is really insane by European norms
>>750167114theres a lot of people who really believe life is a giant toy and if every day isn't their birthday party someone committed a generational injustice against them somehow
>>750173741Edmonton
>>750167598Sometimes you just know
>>750173714It has a fun enough combat system that would've been mindblowing in the hypothetical MMO but I agree the world is where it's always died for me.
Lmao, so basically the Saudis could offload a bunch of their debt onto the Canadian government so they can buy Bioware?That'd be fucking hilarious, they should do it, charge the Canucks $20 billion for Bioware since you know they'll gladly pay it.
>>750173649Schizo or false-flagging tranny?Based if schizo.
>>750167114ventures that suck are supposed to fail. we haven’t had actual capitalism in 100 years and anthropic’s losses are just mask off proof of that. “too big to fail” is so fucking moronic. only the little guys are forced to suffer and die. gay retards get government handholding for the end of time. this system is a joke. people laugh at north korea for setting up fake companies where people pretend to work to try to trick foreigners into thinking they aren’t a dying country but we’re all doing that. that’s our economy now. it’s just on a corporate level instead of a national one. everything is falling apart. everything sucks. everything is fake and gay and talented people aren’t allowed to succeed in this fake system.
>>750169231you still can't buy alcohol in convenience/grocery stores in nova scotia. in fact it was illegal for any store to be open on sunday just 20 years ago>>750169712fwiw nobody is voting for NDP
>>750167114>leader of one of canada's top opposition partiesThe NDP has literally never in a hundred years led a government, they are the least popular party in Canada that actually holds seats aside from the greens.
>>750167114Very good since EA should be nationalized.
>>750174618that doesn't really stop muttoids from commenting though
>>750174618>NDPwait, that towelhead jeet party? I thought they dissolved after the last election because they put on such an embarrassing performance
>>750168194>and the franchise would have to be abandoned for a couple of years to allow it to become public domain.>couple of yearsMore like fucking 70, everyone who was part of it, including the faggots who ruined it and want to keep ruining it will be fucking dead.
>>750167728What a terribly antisemitic post. You have been reported to the ADL.
>>750168027based
>>750174374FUCK OFF IDIOT
Amerimutts absolutely foaming at the mouth ITT
>>750167114Hopefully canucks will try and save them, just so they could waste more leaf money from their citizens. Would be funny if them saving bioware leads to them being a third world country.
>>750167114They basically already do this with Ubisoft and that sure as hell didn't pan out for them
>>750174882Correct
>>750167598LMAO
Canada has been paying Bioware huge grants to stay afloat for over a decade. Maybe it's time to admit that it isn't a good idea to fund electronic entertainment devices using tax payer money and pretend it's "art", because nobody wants it and it's not able to even stay afloat.I fucking hate that governments keep funding game companies who make shit games without even the possibility of it benefitting anyone.
>>750167759KWABec, canadia
So Chudda. How do we do nothing against a goverment funded program?
>>750167114This is the fate of humanity.>A shitty company full of gays, feminists, and transvestites, making games that nobody wants to buy>A crazy Jew obsessed with DEI finds a way to siphon money from shareholders to their pockets anyway>even with free money to spread homoeroticism, the faggots still manage to screw up and go bankrupt>some Canadian cuck, feminist, and gay guy decides he needs to nationalize the company so it can keep advertising anal sex to kids>taxpayers decide they're no longer going to pay a government with these priorities>the guy gets arrested for tax evasion...This idea of individual freedom and the free market won't last long. It was a brief anomaly in human history.
>>750167114>underwrite my losses, goyim, I am crying and begging you>it's the right thing to do!Destroy Israel

>>750167114>game studio bought and run by employeesbecause that went so well last time
>>750173327The one that was absolutely decimated out of party status. I fucking hate Edmonton and I fucking hate BioWare.
>>750168147The few times I've been to Canada this place is mindblowing. There was literal beer union propaganda running on every radio station defending the honor of buying alcohol at 2.5x the price of what I am buying in the States

>>750167114For fucks sake can the Canadian government go ONE DAY without coming up with some new way to completely throw away tax dollars?
>>750176129Why do you need any of that? Avi is about the most jewish first name possible, outside of Menachem.
>>750167114force them all into that MAID thing so they can never harm gaming or any form of entertainment again

>>750175667If something cannot be used for money laundering, it's not art. Video games can't be used for money laundering.
>>750176582Dafuq?
>>750167114>we need to own the means of production!>aaahhh we didn't actually produce anything help us governmentmanjej
>>750167114>Top opposition party in Canada>Has 5 seats in a 343 seat House>Lewis doesn't even have a seat of his ownHe's 'in charge' of the dregs of the local socialist party, devastated in the last election after their former jeet leader sold out them out as a final gift to the Liberals. Their answer to everything is government ownership, but even Lefty Canada has never and will never give them power at the national level.
Why do Americans seethe so hard at Canada? is it because their country is collapsing and dying due to their orange retard?
>>750167114In the 90s Canada subsidizing its media helped with scifi like Stargate I think, but after around 2010 it mostly just meant more DEI/Woke shit than was seen even in recent years, so no its not a good idea anymore.
>>750177329Most Americans forget Canada even exists when they don't take it for granted. That has actually led to China infiltrating Canada at the highest levels, with purchased politicians, Chinese military scientists working in top secret Canadian government labs, Chinese-Canadian interns getting arrested in Europe for espionage against NATO having also moved through numerous other high-security organizations without detection, and resources the Americans assumed would be theirs instead being sold to the chinks.
>>750176129Look at type of shit his mother published and tell me his lineage doesnt belong in an oven. They're literally the picturesque jew that Goebbels would rant about. It's no wonder he wants the government to fund this tranny propaganda company. TKD.
>>750169115Wait a fucking minute. That sounds like Cleopatra's Egypt. Back then, in order for farmers to grow wheat, they have to buy it from the ministry of grain. And if they need to sell their grain, they are only allowed to sell it to the ministry of grain.
STATE MANDATED FAGGOTRY
>>750177329why is this mobilefaggot allowed to post shitty rage bait
>>750169115Canada is basically a huge trailer park so it's not far off
>>750167114Yeah the towelheads aren't gonna allow that, they are free to start their own studio like Casey did but they aren't getting ME and DA back
lot of low effort tranny trolls the last couple days here even for this place
>>750167114Here's the thing: the people who made those gay decisions are still in the same position. This will not fix bioware just putting it on life support.
>>750167524I'm still heavily looking forwards to miyamotos obituary fuck that guy.
>>750178553Thats what the kike wants
>>750174584>fwiw nobody is voting for NDPCries in MB
>>750167114its kinda funny bioware spent 6 years doing nothing and claim "it just started early development" meanwhile other proper studios take 2-3 years to make a game and by 6 year point have released multiple dlc/expansion for theyr game and are releasing another game....... what the fuck was bioware doing? If i was the saudi guy and heard the "it just started development" after 6 years and 3 flops before that id shut them down instantly too lol
>>750181937It's blatantly clear that the "leaked trailer for ME4" was just slapped together at the last minute to try and make it look like they were actually working on something.
>>750167114Getting Canadian assets out of the hands of the Saudis is patriotism, and just good sense.
>>750167759Why do you think ME3 begins in Vancouver?
>>750167114To what end? The people that made the games you love left the company a long time ago. People are too brand focused. A company is not a person. It's just a name.
>>750182137You know what else gets canadian assets out if Saudi hands? Bankruptcy, and that is perfect sense.
>>750182312so perfect sense, saar
What are the chances that a Canadian government controlled Bioware will be filled with pajeets, troons and foids daycare that burns taxpayer money for negative returns?
>>750167605God yes, please
>>750182137the saudis at least are against woke shit so i'd take them over the faggot employees running it themselves
yeah I argee with OP
>>750167114I am a reasonable man. They dont deserve another chance.It's the normal rule: three strikes, you're out. They had ME Andromeda, Anthem and then Veilguard, worst of all. They can only blame themselves.
>>750167114Just let the company die at that point. It'll just become an Indian company in the hands of Canadians.
>we have to waste billions of dollars to shove gay/tranny propaganda down the audience's throatsWhy do so many decision makers think like this?
>>750174882They devolved from jeets to trannies now. Their leadership convention was like lunch time at the insane asylum.
>>750167114Canadian government is so retarded they want to give EA millions of dollars.
>>750168147This is why Alberta is rhe only functioning province
>>750167114>new game so woke it singlehandedly crashes Canada's economy
>>750167114oh fuck you lewis, i hate the liberal party but why the F is a conservative politician trying to rescue this crap
>>750184253And yet they voted to stay in Canada. Curious.
