>this literally killed an entire studio Was it justified?
>>750181241Should've been a shota, that would've fixed it
>>750181241Her dialogue is so bad that yeah, the studio deserves to burn for ever thinking it was a good idea.
>>750181241+andromeda+anthemit wasn't just veilguard
Veilguard was just the latest blunder in a line of blunders from Bioware
>>750181241They'd been limping every since Andromeda and Inquisition. Two years of development on ME5 and still being in the "early stages" is more likely what sealed their fate. Someone came in, saw their progress and just said>I can't keep funding this shit and risk it being another veilguard if it's going to take this long>>750181284Roman has infected this board
Guys, remember us for Anthem... *cough**cough*
>>750181241Wrong. I killed an entire Studio.
>>750181241Trump killed BioWare
Anthem at least had the good grace of being too forgettable to be used as comedic fodder. Veilguard and Andromeda deserve every bit of humiliation
>>750181381I'm just saying anon if the nigga in the OP was a romanceable shota I would've brought it day zero
Veilguard wasn't even bad. I mean it was shit. But you could tell the game was salvageable at some point in development. Whoever was in charge of the skill trees and such did try. Sadly they hired activists to work on the game and those people don't care about games in the first place, they only want to push their ideologies and self insert, that's how Taash came to be.
>>750181241Yes, leftists being made to suffer is always justifiable.
>>750181453They took away my gay fanfic
>>750181491>Veilguard wasnt even that badIt killed the setting (quite literally), had unlikeable characters, ugly characters, forced the devs personal rhetoric and agendas, is practically braindead to play and is completely devoid of anything interesting to engage in.
>>750181241yepA tranny was the directer, and it only hired other like minded troons. All the characters were therefor ugly as fuck and the dialogue was retarded. They only saw Dragon Age as a mound of dirt to plant their tranny flag in.fuck EA and fuck the trannies that pushed this shit.
>>750181534why are they hating on arabs? I thought they loved palestine and hated israel
>>750181579It annoys me how fat everyone is
>>750181241dragon age was never big to begin withorigins is the only good game in the series, 2 was shit, inquisition was shit and only got lucky because 2014 was barren and won goty to push salesbioware fell off with andromeda (arguably the ending of 3) and when they decided to postpone mass effect 5 until they were already with one foot in the grave
>>750181308>herThat's a barve, mister
>>750181649that's part of troon culture, "body positivity". Thankfully that stupid health negative mindset is being phased out as most proactive fatties are on glp-1s
>>750181241>5 minutes of unskippable cutscene where a legacy character does pushups to apologize to a new troon character for misgenderingAbsolutely insane lolSome games just feel like they were sabotaged from the inside lol
>cater to an audience that hates games while out of spite for your former fansRip in piss
>>750181241that part where you have to pressure one of the NPCs into giving in to his "advances" while he starts growling is one of the most disturbing scenes I've seen in a whilewhoever wrote this and thought this is what flirting is supposed to be should be put on a watchlist
>>750181534Amazing that leftists seem to think they're owed a total monopoly on media, as if their ideology isn't utterly reprehensible to most sane folks.
>>750181241And what lesson will have been learned?
>>750181549Like I said the game was shit. But it was salvageable. To me it felt like it was made shit on purpose. But I guess that's how it is when you hire activists who don't give a fuck about games or source material.
>>750181718It insists upon itself
>>750181759bioware focusing on primarily on videogame romances and relationships because their forums had 17000 page threads about the characters they romanced was a bad call
>>750181636Saudi Arabia are shabbos goy for Zion Don and Israel, the Saudi royal family are probably mossad blackmailed pedos like zognald
>>750181241Let it be a cautionary tale about what happens when you inject poz into video games and spite your audience
>>750181331>>750181381andromeda was a flop but it didn't put them in the redanthem and veilguard killed the studio, they probably lost hundreds of millions on each one
>>750181649It annoys me how fat YOU are motherfucker
>>750181549It was so heavy handed at that too, like a parody of woke derangement.
>>750181759To make our propaganda less blatant next time!
400 people lost their jobs and a legendary studio known for many beloved games just died, and you are all laughing?
>>750181846400 RAKED LEAFS
>>750181835Dude I'm skinny as fuck, that's why I'm annoyed. I WISH I could be fat
>>750181241So brave.
>>750181653ME3 was bad overall, from the start you've got to deal with the retarded ghost kid dream sequences and you're stuck with the most boring crew in the trilogy, you've got Kai Leng fagging it up and rubbing his dick in your cereal, while all the ME2 characters basically just show up to go>hey shepard help me with my sidequest for fifteen minutes>okay cool thanks see you never againand every single decision you made in the previous games gets reduced to "+10 war points". The ending is just them spitting on you after forcing you to trudge through the rest of the game.at least the multiplayer was okay
>>750181759hmmm...oh yeah, go woke go broke :)
>>750181902*Barve
>>750181636They don't care about anyone or anything, lefties are just soulless golems doing whatever the ruling class tells them to do. I suspect the pro-Palestine movement is a psyop that the Jews will point to as an excuse to crack down on noticing throughout the West.
>>750181932>go woke, go bro-- err bankrupt the studio
>>750181832Imagine having a flop like Anthem and then making Veilguard. How do these retarded studios get their hands on millions and millions of dollars?
>>750181936
>>750181241You goddamned retard, YOU are the "subversive element" if you think Bioware's wounds were self-inflicted. They're owned by Electronic Arts and you're such a bloated fucking idiot o algo that you think it was because they were woke.
>>750182027How could they do this?
>>750182001Well remember they were also behind *the* TORtanic
>>750181817But lefties are all shabbos goys for Israel, too, anon.
>>750182037
>>750182027I'm imagining being told about this scene from future me while playing DA:O back at release, with only Sven as a reference for Qunari. I think my mind would actually break.
>>750182027Honestly this is worth watching with sound because it's almost comedichttps://youtu.be/N6R8YXIECL4
>>750181759Shotachads would buy your game if you give us what we want.
>>750182027Do any porn-addicted trannies have a loving relationship with their parents?It's like they want to get "revenge" on their parents by making extremely poor life decisions.
>>750181636Saudis are 3.0625 microshades too lightskinned to support. Leftists have racial marxism down to a science.
>>750182102Jesus the way they move is so fucking weird, like bobbing and shit. I know Dragon Age was always sort of stiff and robotic but this is somehow worse, like the animators had no idea how movement works so they just... made them bob around while moving. What the fuck
>>750182092back then you couldn't have possibly predicted>EA's obsession with service games leading veilguard into being a psychotic mess of a slap project>EA's neurotic avoidance of long-running stories, contrary to every previous Dragon Age game >EA's nearly 24/7 meddling in veilguard's development, including "make it more like critical role!"
>>750181832Sales are not the only thing that matters. Andromeda killed Mass Effect. That is worse than being financially in the red
>>750181241>Normies don't like faggot gamesColor me shocked
>>750181381I'd say they've been limping since ME3 and DA2, personally. Neither did catastrophic damage to the company like Veilguard, but Bioware's inability to learn from and course-correct after them is what ultimately killed them.
>>750182278What the fuck? Why the fuck would I care about that shit? My future self just told me that a Qunari identifies as "nonbinary," and explains to me that this is now a real thing in the real world where mentally ill people are having their delusions affirmed by society. Back then I was shocked and disgusted by Zevran's forwardness with his faggotry, so I killed him instantly. I'm not sure how my brain would even be able to process such retardation.And if I only told my past self about EA, I'd be absolutely unsurprised because back then EA was already a developer-destroying megacorporation, you absolute fucking retard.
>>750182523yeah i don't think your past self would be prepared for the culture war faggotry you've aligned yourself with since thenthinking your future self is a total loser is a pretty unexplored genre of time travel fiction now that i think about it
>>750182512Why would they when Cisquisition sold great and won goty?
>>750181890Eat more food then, dumb skelly
>>750182170I only know one troon and he has a somewhat good relationship with his mother and no contact with his father
>>750182624only one i know is in good with her parents and is probably more stable than a lot of actual women i know. apparently her mom had no issues with suddenly being asked to teaching her son how to put on makeup
>>750181241Woke will continue until moral improves. America is a bigoted country and it needs to be fixed.
>>750182690> herCome on anon...
>>750182690>that tranny? me
>>750181241That's what all Canadians will look like in 20 years.It was simply ahead of it's time.
>>750182735hey man, no trace of psychosis? ya earned it. not being even a little ironic here, i think the tranny i'm friends with is more secure in her femininity than the average 4chan guy or twitter checkmark obsessed with trannies is in his own masculinity
>>750181241Actually trannies didn't like this character either. Some insufferable twat at Bioware made this their self-insert character to air out their one sided family drama with their mom (she's such a bitch) and nobody there could say anything or they would get labeled a bigot.
>>750182690
>>750182827I don't give a fuck what trannies think, their opinion is about as good as dog shit and only enable this sort of tripe.
>>750181241Bioware had already not made a good game for like 15 years at the point.
>>750182827>trannies don't like tranny character that makes them look badNo shit
>>750182789It may be a feminine man, but it will never be an actual woman (female human)
>>750182789That tranny friend is you, you're not fooling anyone.
>>750182523>ImageFuck that makes me feel old. Think it was maybe made in like 2011 or 2012? Shortly after Tortanic? Crazy it took this long honestly.
>>750182914most seem to make peace with that in one way or another, since if they don't it eats them alive and they start arguing with PepeTheFrog[1488] xHEILxHITLERx on twitter
>>750182789A tranny "secure in her femininity" is still infinitely below the most insecure, mindbroken 4chan chud
This has aged like fine wine.
>>750182963"i win by default" is the only way chuds win, innit
>>750181534>tells chuds they are not welcome>complains it's chuds fault that veilguard bombed??????????????
Do you think he -ack'd himself?
>>750182989>i will deny god's love if it means i can hate tranniesThat's so conceited and heretical to the entire English-speaking world that it sort of wraps around to being impressive.
>>750182960Cool cool coolI hope you'll kill yourself before ruining more children lives
>>750181636its amazing how hard you must work to remain completely oblivious of the world you live in
>>750183058south american or russian, call it
>>750183043It's ironic because they treat this shit like a religion.
>>750183042Maybe he's the guy who set himself on fire this weekIf so, very impressive, though he was probably on drugs
>>750183005I give your friend 5 years before the problem solves itself
>>750183124two more weeks etc etc
>>750183042Many such cases
I don't get it. I work in shitty corporate environments that are constantly being analyzed for efficiency and things and it really isn't even a difficult ask. These people just don't do anything.
>>750183095>This shitty ass character with their retarded gender identity monologues only account for a non-negligible portion of the game>It's okay though, just consoom this crap and then you'll have an "okay game"What a sales pitch!
>>750183043Unironically, and I mean this from the bottom of my soul, trannyism is so inherently, fundamentally wrong that if a "god" ever descended from the heavens and told me it was his will for trannies to be accepted, I would still refuse, because that's no god to worship. It'd be like if God told you to rape a baby. That's not a religion I want to engage in, if that's what it takes. That god clearly isn't all-good and all-knowing, if he's that perverted and that retarded
>>750181241They owned the chuds so yes
>>750181241Them losing everything was way better for all of humanity. Imagine giving these faggots $60 lmao.
>>750183239>trannyism is so inherently, fundamentally wrongGod made it, so opinion nullified I guess.
>>750183165My company used to have a DEI teamYou couldn't say anything negative out of fear of being fired, it was ridiculousI imagine it was the same at bioware: most people probably knew it was stupid, but you can't criticise an woman's idea (or even worse, a tranny's idea)
Bioware actually embodied chuddah in the sense that despite all the warnings and feedback they kept telling themselves that nothing will ever happen to sales and changed nothing.
>>750183239>>750183258>ends up being a ruse by Satan for those that do agree with this perversion, and all the faggots immediately burn and are sent to hell
>>750183239>It'd be like if God told you to rape a baby. That's not a religion I want to engage inWoah, cool it with the antisemitism.
>>750183042No, he was posting wolverine sales yesterday.
>>750183289I would rather be homeless than subject myself to this
>>750183328See you in the insomniac shutdown thread bro.
>>750183312>actually god is wrong and i win
>religionSame as troonism. Self-absorbed psychopaths pulling levers they shouldn't be touching and hoping some level of mysticism takes revenge for their butthurt feelings lol.
>>750181887Bio-was/were
>>750183289>I imagine it was the same at bioware: most people probably knew it was stupid, but you can't criticise an woman's idea (or even worse, a tranny's idea)Even worse than this is criticizing a corporate executive's idea
>>750183112That explains the boner during the burn lol.
I disliked bioware like everyone else but just tonbe crystal clear they went under because of Jared Kushner's private equity, not because they were woke or retarded, and every single post crying about MAGA and billionaires etc is factually correct, not fat, blue haired screaming women.
>>750183376
>>750183407That or he fetishized his own death
>>750183354God gives you the choice, and what people decide to do with that choice is not really up to him, he does not intervene directly. He just judges you based on what choices you made in your lifetime.In this world, evil can corrupt humans, and can lead to them making bad choices. Hence why people "sell their soul to the devil". I mean yeah, God created Satan, he was a fallen angel. But Satan rebelled on his own will and essentially formed an underworld army of his own. It's a neverending spiritual battle between good and evil, at least that's my interpretation. I'm not religious so what do I know? But it seems like Satan is the more "hands-on" one when it comes to influencing humans while God just kinda fucks off in heaven from what I can tell.
>>750183453the whole woke thing is so utterly fucking braindead in bioware's case that it beggars belief. guys that REALLY do not want EA to have been culpable for any of the decisions affecting its owned company at any point. acknowledging bioware had owners means it wasn't bioware's conscious decision at any point and it wasn't their fault. and apparently that's ego death for culture war types
>>750183454
>>750183258God also made baby rape
>>750181241Wrong pic.
>>750181751They weaseled in with their hebrew tactics and kicked out everyone who wasn't like them, they literally choked the life out of video games for about 12 years give or take. To these child predators, all they've ever known of the industry is that its a commiecuck religion. They probably view it as genocide that its not working anymore
>>750183519It's pretty funny seeing people going to bat for EA when they were unanimously voted the worst company in the world multiple years in a rowhttps://www.ign.com/articles/2013/04/09/ea-named-worst-company-in-america-again>2012-2013The gaming landscape has changed a lot since then, as the media basically went full on assault against gamers.
>>750183592>make a game no one wanted>no one buys it
dear redditniggers and discordtrannies lurking this thread:eat shit
>>750181751Right wing oligarchs are consolidating media ownership and you're complaining about the left.
>>750183514It depends ultimately on where in the Bible you're looking, and if you're a modern American Christian that believes only the New Testament counts and nothing in the Old Testament is important. God making his own evil counterbalance is a very new invention for the religion historically speaking. And it comes with a lot of argumentative unfortunates and logic loops like, "God can't encompass everything because He can't encompass Evil, but He made something that encompasses Evil, so He has power over everything, but he can't because he doesn't have Evil, but he made Evil," or even simpler and non-Zoroastrian flaws in the modern Christian reasoning like God's omniscience being debateable, because giving you free will and then punishing you for not exercising it in a way He wants means you don't really have it. The usual explanation is that God works in mysterious ways unknowable to men, but especially so when comparing His character between the New and Old Testament, and the recurring concept of "repentance" started coming into play.
>>750181241I am still baffled this character's atrocious design made it to the final product. Who the fuck is looking at this hideous abomination and thinking; "yeah, this is good."? It looks like something someone who was not taking the game seriously would make in character creation. But no, its an established character that someone actually wrote lore and dialog for. Jesus Christ. How the fuck are you going to slap a man's face on this thing and give it an irritating female voice? I am annoyed each and every time I see a picture of this freak.
>>750183707Taash would be very sad if she read this :(
>>750182690>her mom had no issues with suddenly being asked to teaching her son how to put on makeupYeah we call that grooming
>>750183698> oh nooo we don't have a monopoly on entertainment anymore, please feel sorry for meGo back
>>750183751Me getting groomed at age 23
>>750183632Correct. Anthem was just another Live service misfire.
>>750183757>weI'm not left retard.
>>750183705If you don't mind me asking anon, what do (You) believe? Or are you more interested in it as a study/research kind of thing
>>750183043Whats with da filename
>>750183239Based beyond belief.
>>750183770You never being a woman (PERMANENT)
>>750183698Yes. Leftists are way worse.
>>750183887Me learning women often don't have hips large enough for an infant's head and need a C-section to deliver (real) (not clickbait)
I don't know. Bioware hasn't been the same in decades, because of layoff the studio closes down. Why depend on a single IP to save your studio?
>>750183826Looks Chinese to me
>>750183928But they still have a womb. Something you never will.
>>750183804I learned later on in my teens that my thoughts on religion would mostly be considered agnostic, I think there's a creator for this universe of some kind but it's pretty much impossible to say who or what it would be if it won't show itself. Religion for me is more of a branch of anthropology and "convergent evolution" in storytelling and writing to look at similarities in myths and legends across the world.
>>750183928That's a modern luxury so women feel less pain (and to charge more)C section used to kill the mother, obviously women have been delivering babies without it for all of history
>>750184049Women have also been dying in childbirth for all of history.
>>750183705one sentence in and it’s already clear you have no idea what you’re talking about. Please remain silent in the future
>>750183698I mean it’s the left that sucks corporate dick and keeps consuming their slop.
>>750184097Nobody cares that you're a TRUE and HONEST Christian anon. If you're American you're most likely a larping Protestant just by the nature of your origin.
>>750184000I feel similarly, but I am far less knowledgeable on the subject. It's interesting though, the older I get, the more I start to become what I could most easily describe as superstitious, or at least more open to the idea of entities existing beyond our physical comprehension. I find the whole history of it all fascinating really, all of the different cultures and their gods, and how those beliefs still influence what goes on today. It's hard for me to be completely devoted to one idea, but I will say I can see why Christianity was so appealing to so many people for thousands of years.
>>750183928Me learning trannies have more in common with genetic defects than normal humans (long way down)
>>750184063But again, it can't have been that common or we wouldn't be herePoint stands that men and women have different skeletons. But even if they had not, you'd still be a human male, so a man
Remember when even normies were shitting on parent companies like EA for being the sole reason why these dev studios get shut down? Now no one cares lmao.Anyways I'm getting bored of your average layoff/shut down at this point. I want to see mass game dev suicides or something.
>>750181649that is correct. you are thinking correctly. being fat is bad.
>>750184128>I mean it’s the left that sucks corporate dickI can literally hear Bobby Kotick laughing his way into Paramount's executive circles on the back of you obsessing over blue hair and pronouns.
>>750182989
>>750184164>it can't have been that common or we wouldn't be hereDude Europe depopulated from the Black Plague so heavily that peasants became valuable labor, and could demand freedoms they didn't have before the sickness, and we're still here.
>>750181241>"Rook, could your current thetan levels be influenced by Thalsian blood magic?">"I think thetan levels and blood magic are the same thing. Maybe that's why all this stuff is happening.">"No they are not the same thing, Isabella. I identify thetans as a force independent of evil magic.">"I'm sorry. I offended your inner experience of thetans. I'm going to pull a Bharv now, cause I screwed up and must be held accountable. You guys are right. Thetans are real.">"Try that Eluvian E-meter when you get done paying penance, Isabella. Lets see what your thetan levels are like today."Maybe a better DA:V script like the one I just wrote above would have saved them?

>>750184184I‘m not the one watching the newest Disney slop in the cinema though.I‘m also not the one buying Wolverine, Gears E-Day or subscribing to Gaypass and Netflix.That‘s all people like you.Complaining about Bobby and his corporations and still giving him money.He doesn’t see a cent from me.
>>750184136I’m godless but educated. Don’t speak about things you know nothing about, it’s embarrassing >let me tell you about your country
We did it /v/chuds, we saved the gaming industry! Now we will for sure get chud-RPGs again!Any day now!...
>>750184264Wtf are you talking about, the black plague had nothing to do with women dying in childbirth
>>750184358>I’m godless but educatedthis means literally nothing for bible talk
*ahem* FUCK GAMERGATE
>>750184363I‘m fine with never getting a new chud approved game ever again. There’s plenty of retro stiff to play.I just want to see the western games industry burned to the ground and every single tranny lose it’s job.
>>750184381You’re implying things about my background so there’s your answer. My guess is you’re underage or a dumb college student
>>750184438Broken clock and whatnot

>>750182278>bioware wouldn't be shit if EA simply gave them infinite money and time!you will never be a woman
>>750181241Yes, cause it wasn't for me so fuck em. Rest in piss and I hope the women go into prostitution so I fuck them directly.
>>750184438Do these retards even have a modicum of self awareness?These kinds of games don't sell well in the world except maybe US and UK. No shit you aren't going to be making bank when you isolate the majority with the lgbt and minority shit.
>>750183927t. oligarch lackey
>>750184605you are the only guy talking about giving them infinite money and time, in response to a post about meddling, micro-managing and obsession with live service
>>750182102the non binary shit aside, the whole game looks genuinely terrible and uncanny. It's uncomfortable to look at.
>>750182027This scene alone is enough to make me hate a game. Fucking trannies
>>750184694Meds
>>750184640EA sucks for a million reasons but you are delusional if you think they interfered to make the games have dogshit writing and gameplay.
>>750184742if you don't think EA was the one that had cold feet about bioware continuing the overarching story for dragon age with veilguard, you're a moron
>>750184438lefties are in a constant superstate of saying chuds are meaningless and a loud minority yet somehow the reason why every piece of liberal media is being shut down
>>750183042>gayming awards
>>750181241Kinda. I can't pretend I've been on the Bioware train for any time in the past decade, though, more amazed they had any fans left. Like sure, the Dragon Age crowd, but even then that wasn't much of a crowd, most Dragon Age discussion I see is still around Origins and how bad 2 is.
>>750183258GOD WHY
>>750184438>if it weren't for people talking about Zoe Quinn's sex life a decade ago people would've bought 2 billion copies of Veilguard
>>750184772>the writing was dogshit because uhh it didn't set up a sequel!lmfao excuses after excusesEA had cold feet about supporting bioware because its brand had become toxic from more than a decade of pumping out liquid shit
>>750184971>uhh it didn't set up a sequelnot what was written, 3/10 see me after class
>>750181284Yknow what... Unironically I think it would.
>>750181241> hire the tranny writer> they write an idealized scene of them confronting their mum > actually publish it in full> also a scene about the correct way to apologize for misgendering
>>750181241they should have made a better game instead
>>750184631>conveniently ignored all the left-wing oligarchs like Soros for yearsI'm noticing.
>>750184996You're the one that brought up live service when the person you were responding to was talking about the game's writingseethe and dilate
>>750181241>>750182027>>750182102The real kicker is when her mom offers up the fantasy term for being a tranny and she rejects it. Bioware went from writers that resent video games to writers who resent fantasy itself.
>>750185113>Oh so you’re a Teshnoklollitan? Why didn’t you just say that? >YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND MOM.>…. I am trying to understand.>THEN TRY BETTER. imagine being in the writer’s room when they designed that scene, I would have cried
I, literally, did not even see that character when I pirated and played the game for a couple of hours, before deleting it. So, if a freeloader couldn't stand it after 120 minutes, those paid for it would have uninstalled even sooner.>it was the generic, action slop gameplay that killed it
>>750185067>left-wing oligarch>george sorosSome of the shit people say on this website I swear
jesus I just remembered what a fucking therapy session this whole game was>literally sitting round a table talking about muh feelings>ALL THE TIME
>>750185241When is Ubisoft closing its doors?
>>750183698Literally how brainwashed and low IQ does someone have to be in order to unironically think and say something like this>>750185261Are you braindead? I’m not even going to waste time trying to argue with you or cite any sources, just stop being such a passive retard that believes everything you read on Reddit
>>750182220Kek
>>750185261He funds left-wing shit to destabilize other countries, but he obviously is not left wing himself. He's a hardcore zionist fascist that uses leftism as a battering ram against countries he wants to destroy and turn into economic zones ripe for exploitation. Too bad for all his wealth, it did not help him because his side was both comically incompetent and comically evil and Blackrock will never lay a hand on Ukrainian wheat and metals now.
>>750183453>>750183519>>750183623Lmao, you lefties were the ones complaining when we hated on EA.
>>750185503"you were complaining when i did a thing 15 years ago" is not a mentally well man's internet post
>>750185537Sure, the healthiest thing to do is to lie and say that we don’t hate EA.
>>750183453The company died of illness despite having access to unlimited funding and having excuses made for it despite doing nothing of note for over ten years, and Veilguard was literally one of the worst games ever made. The business was unsustainable and no reasonable investor would dare to put faith in it, so yes, its cause of death was ultimately “woke and retarded.” >IT WAS A MAGA CONSPIRACY!!!!! redditors are so fucking dull it’s kinda unreal. Some guy makes up some bullshit about Jared Kushner and they all just parrot it because it confirms their bias and gives them an excuse to complain about politics It’s also painfully clear none of these people are aware of what else is going on in the markets
>>750181241Things less gruesome have killed IPs and Studios. See Toys for Bob.
>>750186041Just being kind of a pain in the ass to play killed Crash 4 more than any gurl powah rework.
>>750181534why is it so difficult for those people to acknowledge that if a company releases bad products after bad products, eventually it get canned?
>>750181241What is this thing?
>>750186091Nobody bought the game so no. The artstyle and character designs turned people off. You don't have to play the game to decide to NOT play the game.
>>750186041Fat-assed bandicoot slut
>>750186161I pirated it and didn't even finish it, sheer lack of momentum from initial sales means they fumbled the initial sales too.
>>750181390but you did nothing
What was bad about anthem? I remember playing it and thinking it was fun but never put much time into it
>>750186196No kidding. The game was half-off by Black Friday i.e. a month later.
>>750186217
>>750182037>post worst troll>have the most ignorant opinionwho could've guessed.By teh way, no one is saying EA is a saint here, but Bioware had their own faults.
>>750186234Apparently, playing Anthem turned people gay.
>>750181241>we should make our games about gay demons>ma'am nobody is buying them>FUCKING DRUMPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
>>750181534>make garbage>garbage doesn't sell>this is fascism's faultIf this were actual fascism their garbage would have been state funded.
>>750186262>Chuddha sits still and does nothing for nearly two years>Wins
This is how Tash was supposed to look like.Imagine the horror at the face of the HR trannies where they first saw this
>>750181759that a rhetorical question?
>>750186423>no qun tsundere mommy DonnyNiggas like hot bitches it's that simple
>whenever Poochie is not in screen, all the other characters should be asking "what gender is Poochie?"Get fucked Bioware, the last okay game they made was Jade Empire.Even Origins had a gay elf assassin trying to pierce your buns
the ultimate go woke go broke
>>750181805>>750181902>>750182027Jokes aside, what do actual trans think of these scenes?
>>750183770never in a billion years
the Qunari were the funniest civilization arc.>DA:O comes out and they're an aggressive, militaristic theocracy of hardass zealots>DA2 comes out and women are in charge of Qunari society and what did you guys do to their heads?>DA:I comes out and they're trannies now>DA:V tranny zealotsthe Saudis might've especially felt tilted by that
>>750186129Because they're leftypol retards who believe ESG means it can't fail. "Um actually they released three hits in a row! It must have been EA's fault" is the mindset.
>>750186592>>DA2 comes out and women are in charge of Qunari society and what did you guys do to their heads?did I miss anything? I played DA2 only once but wasnt he main antagonist a big qunari guy?
I'll always remember moments like this that played out like an HR training videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmDKGq_UV-4
I've never played a Dragon Age game, though I've got Origins in my steam library, planning to play it after I'm done with NWN and KOTOR.Should I pirate Veilguard just to try it out for a few hours? Might give me a better appreciation for the series when I actually play the good entry.
>>750186592Originally the concept was pretty cool.Qunari weren't all originally goofy big-horned people, being Qunari meant you just followed the Qun. Any race could be Qunari, it's a title for the follower of the belief, not a religion.The majority of Qunari were horned people from the islands who never identified themselves as a race, but there were Humans brought into it which is how you get Sten in Origins. Who turns out that was never his name, just his title, since the Qunari do away with identity. One Sten is as good as any other, if not, they're not a Sten.It's what made the Qunari interesting, a hivemind in ideology, not nature.But by the time of Veilguard they fucked it up, when Taash is "1/3 Qunari" that's fucking stupid, it's like saying you're 1/3 communist.
>>750186643Yeah, but he was a warrior.They are matriarchal societies with gender roles (men are warriors and women stay at home).
>>750181241I stopped caring about Bioware after Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3, but more clever people seen signs earlier. Only thing that I play, sometimes, is one thing that outlived Bioware - SWTOR.
>>750186828NoIt’s very bad, and the story is also a continuation of what happened before.
>>750181817The saudis don't need to be blackmailed when all arabs are pedos by default and rape young boys and have festivals for it called bacha bazi tho
>>750186873>What race should we make our character who is obsessed with racial and gender identity?>Hmmm... Wait, let's go with this one! They have big horns and stuff! Wow cool!
i'm looking through social media and so many people don't seem to understand that games need to sell for studios to stay open.
>>750184813>more amazed they had any fans left.They still do, of tumblr variety, it's just that you can't have big budget games and profit out of that audience alone.
>>750186217Exactly.
>>750186993Schools haven't taught basic economics for decades, so is it really a surprise when most people don't understand basic economics?
>>750186993Listen, all you need to sell is the "idea" of a game to shareholders and investorsUsing corporate word salad and buzzwords to convince boomers with too much money, and no family members who love them, to buy in
>>750187319Boomers are lead poisoned retards at the mortality cliff and the new millionaires are all younger people who actually want to see returns on investments or they won't hesitate to cut their losses and pull the plug on money drains.
>>750184741for whom?
>>750185261>OOOOAAAHHHH IM PRETENDING NOT TO UNDERSTAND AAHHHHH AMBATAKAM!!!!
>>750186314That's funny because some woke games have been state funded recently. It's the government's favorite way incapacitate the population.
>>750186993Americans really live mentally in some fantasy land where no matter how shit their """art""" is, it deserves infinite funding and time for the sake of it being """art""".This is why they're currently getting utterly raped by AI because that's how little their shit mattered to begin with.
>>750181284>Should've been a shota, that would've fixed itwrong, they tried a jeet shota with wilds and i skipped that game because of it, deserved flop
>>750187819jeet shota was funny because it got the japs to draw ntr on himnot even the japanese see Indians as remotely masculine.
>>750187804AIjeets are really unlikable on every level.
>>750187804>Americansliberals*, they're literally entitled communists who believe they deserve money for nothing
>>750182027Wtf
>>750187768can I have the original video?
>>750187886>it got the japs to draw ntr on himkek funny, hopefully they don't do it again
>>750187917https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bhkQng58Os
>>750182170They hate their parents for bringing them into existence.
>>750185113I don't know how a single video made me ten times more interested in the mom, she seems nice and I feel bad for her.
>>750188042isn't this thing a ftm?
>>750187894I mean even before the woke movement went overdrive games and characters were forgettable and had mid designs.It's just that the whole lgbt shit just kneecapped it further into the stratosphere.Also putting blacks, the most useless group of people historically and statistically, up on a pedestal is what did it too.>>750187891You're a genuine retard if you think I was praising AI. Like an actual retard.
>>750186993why are subtitles like this now?
>>750187894Well shouldn't have sided with the Soviet-Union in WW2 then. Karma is a bitch.
>>750184438>saudis>trump>gamergateIt seems that everyone except Bioware itself is to blame for Bioware's failure.
Was it an actual financial decision, or just Saudis tking an axe to gay shit?
>>750187819Who?
>>750188381>was axing the troon studio that just lost you half a billion an actual financial decision
>>750186423Would
>>750188431this little turd
>>750188381I don't think the Saudis actually care about any of the stuff they buy, they're just numbers on a spreadsheet
Where is the option to not get raped by this thing? I thought this was an RPG where you could actually make decisions
>>750188463That thing was so annoying.
I'm laughing but I thought the previous girl handler was fucking ovnoxious
>>750181241Kinda funny how they dedicated this entire game to owning the chuds and it ended up being so hated that it killed the studio. The tranny mental illness is destructive in every way.
>>750188703chuds unironically won. looksmaxxing is so mainstream, literal millionaire chads know about it. being racist is mainstream. chuds fucking won i cant believe it.
>>750181241I can't believe that with a mere 13 people you can destroy a studio of about 200 people (cut down to ~100 post veilguard)
>>750183770>>750183928fuck off this website, freak.
>>750188880Their name is Trick you fucking deadnaming chud
>>750181390>>750181390>>750181331Technically, killed several studios. Remember that Bioware was a name that they slapped on several different studios they owned. Each one working on a flop, each one in turn closed down. I can't even track if this was the original bioware that was closed or was that closed before and the remaining ones were to make it seem like EA didn't sink their asses.But now they are out of Biowares.
>>750188880writers really do deserve to be paid even less
>>750189002which one?
>>750189102Patrick Weekes but I think he goes by both names
>>750189182likely just be their handle and not their name, unfortunately. No vitriol to generate off this
>>750189182>raped by
>>750189257>likely just be their handle and not their nameNo. His Linkedin says Trick. You can google it yourself if you wanna, I don't care enough about some random faggot
>>750189182Why white people are like this?
>>750181579>fuck EA Bioware hired their own employees
>>750189547it’s a jew
>>750189547Jewish mind poison in schools and culture, this is what happens when you let a hostile culture have access to your children
>>750188257Brain rotted attention spans
>>750183043If god asked me to cut my cock off and inject estrogen into my nipples I would probably say no and switch to being Muslim
>>750181751You need to be liberal to be creative.No surprise that leftists are better at art than rightoids.Even based Vavra knows this and went to actual historians to include black person in his game
>>750181390But Chudda...you didn't DO anything!
>>750186987The Afghanis are the ones that practice that, but I get that nuance is too complicated to understand for mutts with clipped foreskins. Catholic priests are well known for not diddling kids
>>750183239If you think about it, the fact you can even decide to deny god is the whole reason mankind was punished with exile from Eden. Dude was eternally chuffed by the apple gambit.
>>750181308This, and also just look how fuck ugly that creature is. No one in the right mind would think that this ugly ass face is a protagonist material. That thing looks like a zesty fantasy negro
>>750190154>This faggot in this retarded hat is who you should look up to.
I did this.

>>750181936>yeah, I misgender and mispronounce a lot of "people", how could you tell?
>>750186571Nothing.They don't play these games despite them being designed for them
>>750182170The thing that baffles me is that the mom is like, very clearly a great mother even though the narrative puts her in the wrong here. Like, there's no way this is the level of reference for a bad parent right?
>>750192856Literally any other response besides complete and total affirmation with zero hesitation or doubt is considered bad to these people. You can tell whoever wrote it had decent parents that they hated because they dared to set up boundaries and questioned their kid's sense.
>>750181241It was the killing blow. Anthem should've killed them a decade ago and everything else since hasn't helped their case.
bioware has been in a downward spiral since dragon age 2 yeah a lot of that has to do with EA but not all of it
>>750189547>white people
>>750194119Is the one in the chair FTM or what? Blud looks like a whole bitch.
>>750183727she????
>>750182278Meanwhile
>>750194119Giwtwm
>>750194240you think? idk never even heard what they sound like. just looked like a chunky dude to me
>>750181579>>750181649That's a valve pic though
>>750192856They believe that if you don't immediately validate the gender special without any hesitation you are worse than twenty Hitlers.
>>750183707Game development now is almost entirely left wing cliques that go wild for this shit and think it's what everybody likes because twitter trains them to view their internet bubble as reality, they drove dissenting voices out of the profession ten or fifteen years ago. They really, honestly and genuinely thought this character would be a big hit and pull millions of sales from a market they thought was a majority of people just like them. They don't live in the same reality the rest of us do, so that's how these basic mistakes keep being made, all the studio closures are starting to slowly wake them up to the true nature of things, but a lot of them still come up with alternate theories why their products aren't making it on the market. Call it schizophrenia or deep denial.
>>750190154>create retard brigade>place them in frontlines>easy meatshield, and an ethical excuse to abort them from the populationquite based acktually
>>750194367same bwo
>>750181805This can't be real. I won't believe it.
>>750194793Oh but it is

>>750181241>disgusting bottom lip piercing>manjaw with 5 o clock shadow>supposed to be young face (?) with heavy forehead wrinkles>diabolical hairlinethat hairline with the horns is worst offender imo, even if they're supposed to look like that or whatever. it's just ugly.>>750181308what was the plan here? pumping out games that the main playerbase would obviously hate over and over is not a sustainable model. is ESG money that lucrative that it's worth tanking your whole studio over?
>>750195084Everyone who worked on their shitty games for the past 15 years is to blame.
>>750195084Surely EA cut them loose for absolutely no reason whatsoever, it couldn't possibly have had anything to do with games selling badly because of objectionable content in them. No way no how. In fact, the games sold amazingly and anyone claiming otherwise is spreading misinformation, but it's also their fault the games sold badly and don't they care about developers families and children, oh but also chuds have no power and are irrelevant and we don't need to cater to them anymore, but they're economic terrorists and it's completely their fault studios are being shut down.
>>750187894>work for trillion dollar company heavily involved in all the things they claim to be against, such as Israel and AI>larp as communists the second said company fires them for being mediocre, talentless parasitesLeftists are so stupid that it defies logic.
>>750187894Only the guy on the far left looks old enough to have been alive and working when they were making good games. Bunch of mystery meat zoomers who never made anything of value and can't do shit but complain. They're just like me, but they do it in public. Sad.
>>750181241>fantasy world where magic and dragon existgender dysmorphia shouldn't exist in this case especially since the existence of magic would make it easy to just gender swap people
>>750181887based brote
>>750196652They're worse than stupid once you start looking past the words they use, which are just blocks of language with a set of basic ideas packaged in them which are the things they actually want. They want maximum return for minimum effort, and the freedom to do whatever they want without consequence, these are two ideas that most people grow out of in adolescence when the realities of life are acknowledged and integrated with their expectations. It's a crucial part of growing up, and these people have been completely sheltered from that developmental step. The longer they go in their lives without making that step, the more repulsive they appear to people who did make that step, even if they can't quite put their finger on why they're repulsed.
>>750196652at this point...
>>750196652this is why the industry just has to burn
>>750183707that creature genuinely makes me feel a little sick every time I see itnever felt anything like it
>>750184164You’re obviously just retarded. Children and mothers dying in childbirth or soon after were very common. That’s the main reason the average life expectancy was so low back then.
>>750196820anon, these are soilenials, not zoomerswell, that redhead bitch might be one
>>750181241What caused western fantasy to become like this?
>>750186993>games need to sell for studios to stay open.hasn't been true for yearsstudios get closed regardless of whether they sell games or not, sometimes on the day of release or earlier
>>750184164It was incredibly common, you just don't understand how averages work. If you had a sample size of two people and one died at 20 and the other at 40, the average expectancy would be 30, then centuries later fools like you would assume that people died at 30 because dats wat da avrug sez roight?
EA pulled a BioWharv.
>>750181241>Also made Anthem>And ME: Andromeda before thatBioWare was given too much leniency if anything. A lot of studios would have been shitcanned for making one flop, let alone three.
Does Jade Empire worth a playthrough?
>>750181759>Trump badseems to be the leftist consensus>go woke go brokeSeems to be the right's consensus>dunno, it looked like shit, wasn't designed for me and played worseSeems to be the 'normie' consensusAnd as usual - left is completely delusional, right is correct but has a pin of chud so mainstream will never listen to it and 'normies' don't give a fuck.

>>750181828one of many, but if liberals could learn they would stop being liberals
>>750195084Yes, EA are the ones that closed the studio…because BioWare had lost them money for like 15 years straight you fucking retard.
Does making fun of something still count as doing nothing?
>>750198158one of the best games they ever made, complete with a Bioshock-tier plot twist halfway through that you probably shouldn't spoilnaturally it's the game they didn't include in their memo, instead focusing on Failguard and Antifathem
>>750198560yes, always
>>750195084EA gave them so many more chances than Westwood, or Bullfrog, or Insomniac, or Visceral, or everyone else in the EA bone orchard. Those studios got the axe after one title that didn't meet expectations. Bioware got to fuck around for a decade, I suppose they were waiting for that famous "Bioware Magic" to kick in. And it just didn't.
>>750198392Business degree types are not always known for long-term thinking.
>>750197709>hasn't been true for yearsnot while USAIDS was runningshutting it down was the biggest swamp draining operation President Trump did, and all the swamp creatures are dying now because of it
>>750183928There's a ton of variance in the matter. Sometimes the mother is underdeveloped because of upbringing or low hormone levels so her pelvis didn't grow out enough, then she gets knocked up and has a big fucking baby whose skull has fit through that thing like a tunnel run in ace combat. It's like tits, some women are flat, others grow them bigger than their head. No matter how wide or narrow that channel is though, the structural difference between a male and female pelvis is always obvious just from how the femurs connect to it. A woman's legs sit further out from the pelvis and then curve in towards the knees, that's why they have a thigh gap and men don't.
>>750198715they used to be, but not any more, because feminists made it illegal to treat their stupidity as less valid than any successful businessmen's knowledge
>unironic tranny shill raid thread
>>750198158gameplay-wise it was terribly simple. i mean it's a western rpg dev so of course their action gameplay will suck.story-wise it was chinaboo, lacking in GENUINE chinese characteristics which you see in all the wuxia stuff real Chinese devs are bringing to Steam nowadays. they really lied about the Path of the Open Palm and Closed Fist btw. it was just KOTOR blue side/red side again where Closed Fist was cruel for the sake of it. The whole philosophical division was supposed to be how Open Palm causes the peasants to be dependent on heroes whereas Closed Fist was supposed to emphasize peasants self-actualizing and not needing Mommy to come save them. didn't work out that way tho

Does Taash ever get called out on being an unreasonable asshole after this, because nothing in this scene puts them in a favorable light.
>>750186571It looks to me like the scene is essentially saying that trannies and non-binaries aren't the same thing
>>750198716Really the first canary in the coal mine for how much of Hip-Hop culture is astroturfed by glowies should’ve been how difficult it was for OutKast to gain traction in their early years because they were from the South and didn’t have a stake in “East vs. West”. Literally just “regardless of talent you don’t deserve a contract unless your music is about killing the arbitrarily defined other niggers”.
>>750197356Imagine being asked to stand there and your choices are voicing your own personal belief and getting socially stigmatized by people preaching tolerance, telling them maybe it's not a good idea to have a videogame studio publish a video about <current political thing> and have to explain to HR why you think so, or are immortalized in a humiliating video which will certainly not haunt you for many years to come.
>>750181241It killed the skinwalker version of Bioware.The actual studio died years ago probably around the time Mass Effect 3 was released.
>>750181284idk, the west is capable to produce some really ugly shotas.more like the japanese should have more shotas in their game if anything
>>750194793>https://youtu.be/ePqJEwLBS4Y?si=SQOqnxwo1i7ssqaf
>>750199495there was some other thread about how you wouldn't get hired at bioware if you had chuddish stuff in your linkedin, probably the same thing with insomniac so i assume they all agree with it
>>750181241Should of killed them instantly instead of taking this long.
>>750197709>studios get closed regardless of whether they sell games or not,which ones?
>>750198716rap had been declining before trump closed usaid
>>750199653I SAID I WON'T BELIEVE IT OKAY
>>750195313>is ESG money that lucrativeIt's very hard to justify turning down what are essentially free loans to your shareholders.Anyway, there would have not been much hope for a new ME game, it only had a skeleton crew spitballing ideas, maybe drawing up some concepts.And if it managed to get any ball rolling there would have been a long way of corporate meddling to survive.If you guys only knew why Andromeda turned out such a shitshow, lol.
>>750182060my favorite part about the tor tanic is just, the game is still alive. call it a shell or whatever, but TOR survived and is getting updates to this day. and bioware had to sell it to stay afloat
He won.
>>750181751In their minds the shit you see in Veilguard like exhaustive moral lectures about pronouns and top surgery scars in character creators is completely normal, so you're the wildly obsessive and irrational one for pointing out how it isn't when it keeps getting forced into games
>>750181241It was necessary
>>750181241I really feel like characters like this will be looked back on as a product of their time. It seems like every studio that tried to cash in on the culture war in the 2010s is having that backfire on them dramatically.
Were they still trying to Court general audiences with this game? The Modern Audience? Was this their best attempt???

>>750204689You’re a retard. ANY company would have done the same. BioWare’s job was to make games that people wanted. They failed to do that for 15 years. They got many chances and were allowed to waste hundreds of millions of EA’s money.
>>750205021"any" company was not voted worst company in america multiple times and you are the biggest retard on /v/ if you think EA didn't have any decisionmaking over bioware's day-to-day. please do not speak about corporate structure or corporate freedoms while pretending one company owned by another actually has autonomy. i know it makes it an easier punching bag to pretend they were autonomous but they were obviously not to anybody who doesn't have cataracts
>>750203168>CURRENT-DAY CALIFORNIAN SHIT!Based Norf.
>Think of the poor devs! They're literally slaves!Nah. Everyone involved is responsible.
>>750205165You’re making claims without proof. Did EA force BioWare to hire all of the poisonous trannies and lgbt ghouls who drove it into the ground? If they did, well sure, we can blame EA. From the information actually available to us, it looks like BioWare got a VERY long leash. More than they deserved.
>>750205334>You’re making claims without proofyou're a fucking idiot, dude. i mean that. please stop talking about corporate structure when you're clueless.>Did EA force BioWareyes>From the information actually available to usEA owns bioware
>>750205372You’re making baseless claims. Just because EA owns them does not mean they are directly responsible for all of the retarded decisions that sank BioWare. You need to provide actual proof of actual decisions instead of “BuT Ea OWn ThEM!!!!!” Obviously BioWare had some autonomy. Exactly how much is hard to tell without more inside information leaks.
>>750186234It was a technical mess, to the point it was unsalvageable without a full reboot (which they abandoned), and there was barely any contentEndgame on release only had three dungeons/strongholds, no raids or content beyond 4 players, and everyone spammed the same dungeon over and over and over and over and over
>>750205573>You’re making baseless claims. Just because EA owns them does not mean they are directly responsible for all of the retarded decisionsyou are a fucking idiot, dude.
If any devs are in the thread, just know that you deserved to lose your jobs. You should thank God you were allowed to scam for so long.
>>750205689>If any devs are in this thread
>>750187819>Wilds>Flopped
>>750181241It is never just a one single thing. Bioware was drowning in the shitter for over a decade. I am honestly surprised they even lasted THIS long.
>>750205674Cite an example of a decision EA made and not BioWare that made their games suck? You keep claiming to be some kind of corporate expert (despite probably being a zoomer who never had a real job) but you’re unable to articulate HOW it’s EAs fault. Your argument is basically “EA bad”Let me give you an example since you either aren’t understanding, or are pretending to not understand. People were critical of the ending of ME3. Often EA gets the blame because they forced the game to release instead of giving BioWare more time. In this case, that would be EA’s fault. Now you give an example of EAs decision that ruined biowares latest games. If you think EVERY aspect of the development of biowares games are tightly controlled by EA and BioWare has no autonomy whatsoever, it’s you who does not understand corporate structure.
>>750181241Not releasing a good game since about 2010 is what killed them. Not sure why they were allowed to keep going for many years after but they've been dead since then.
>>750181381>Someone came in, saw their progress and just saidNot surprising at all. With current time table we'd be looking at like 2029-30, probably, and several hundreds of millions? They probably took ten minutes to consider and went fuck that.
>>750205783It's time to accept there are devs and marketers among us bro. It's the big 26, 4chan is exactly the same as twitter or reddit. If they're shilling and damage controlling there, they're here too. To still be in denial at this point is just self-deceptive cope.
Call me schizo but I'll only believe this isn't some sort of marketing stunt or a "soft" studio closure when we go at least 1 year and the devs are not added to anything and no Bioware projects or IPs get used at all.
>>750181241Is this the same woman or do western gaming studios just hire the most obnoxious looking negroes?
>>750206228I mean they can always “reopen” any of these studios, they own the name. They may “close” it so they can easily purge all of the retards and troons that work there so they can start over at some point in the future.
>>750206309KEK IT REALLY IS THE SAME
>>750206373>purge all the retards and troonsAbsolutely unlikely. So long as companies get free money from the likes of SBI just for hiring those and putting woke garbage in their games they will continue to do it. They might tone it down or try to make it less overt, but they won't be cutting it off entirely anytime soon.
>>750181308>herTechnically a female but that disgusting thing could probably use her dick sized clit to peg you
>>750182027This is supposed to be a coming out of the closet, super important, revealing yourself conversation, and you're telling me I have to take it seriously while one half of the conversation is called Shat?>>750182170The one trans guy I know has a bad relationship with his parents because his parents stopped being parents and were more like housemates when he was 14. I think their method of parenting was "Is he still in his room playing video games? Okay, he's good.">>750186571the trans guy from above loved Veil Guard when it came out because of 'muh representation' but has backtracked in recent years because he wants to fit in with the rest of the friends group.
>>750206560SBI doesn’t pay companies money. With the closure of USAID and interest rates increasing to where money isn’t basically free like it was during the pandemic, they have to be more careful about this nonsense. It’s hurting their wallet now and is why all of these studios are closing. They need to purge that useless payroll spending.
>>750183239Based Yaldabaoth slayer.
A lot of people cannot comprehend the damage Critical Role, Tumbrl, Reddit, Marvel Movie, Modern Identity Politics and DEI did to RPG studios
>>750183698right wing oligarchs who just happen to be jews or in bed with the jews
>>750183698Hello Rupert.
>>750183698Not everyone can comprehend that all these obvious on the nose uglification shits is just a right wing psyop.
>>750187804>Americans really live mentally in some fantasy land where no matter how shit their """art""" is, it deserves infinite funding and time for the sake of it being """art"""Dustborn was literally funded by the Norwegian government, you fucking retard. Point to a single American video game funded by Trump. If the Internet has taught me one thing, it's that Europeans are even more retarded than Americans. You "people" are delusional.
>>750205165>EA didn't have any decisionmaking over bioware's day-to-dayDetails get lost in the 14 layers of management between the development studio and publisher executive level. If you actually ever worked in a corporate setting, you'd know overbloated bureaucracy more than any other factor is why retarded decisions get made and fly under the radar for years until the fiscal losses can no longer be overlooked. For all intents and purposes, Bioware had a high degree of autonomy beyond executive directives to hit revenue targets, and make products with particular intellectual properties daisy chained through the previously mentioned multiple layers of middlemen.
>>750208428You don't even have a point you're just mentally compromised and want to yell about team sports.
>>750181241>Was it justified?Yes.
>>750208708>Red Thread Games and Quantic Dream privately funded most of the game budget, with the developer also receiving over 13.6 million NOK (around 1.4 million USD) from the Norwegian Film Institute.[9][10][11] Additionally, the game received a grant of €150,000 from the EU's Creative Europe projectOh look, it's another European retard without any self awareness. That's exactly what anon was doing and you're mad that I pointed out how hypocritical Europeans are for doing the exact same thing they're crying about. What's even more hilarious is that your fucking governments are funding trash like dustborn because "it's art."
>>750205165Yeah, you’re dumb as shit. EA was voted as the worst company in America because they bought failing studios and enabled the executives of those studios to create punishing work environments while acting as a convenient external source for blame. “Sorry it’s perpetual crunch time and we have to keep cutting perks, it’s EA’s fault!” is exactly what the C-suite in every single failing gaming company bought by EA always says, when in reality they didn’t give a fuck about the day-to-day and only cared about the EBITDA.BioWare ran themselves into the ground through bad hiring and a retarded work culture that led them to create products the market didn’t want.
>>750208671>For all intents and purposes, Bioware had a high degree of autonomy beyond executive directives to hit revenue targetsThis is pretty blatantly not the case if you actually look at their output from their glory years post-DA:O and other games that were in development or releasing at/around the time of acquisition. This is absolving EA of any responsibility for Bioware's bad output after acquisition and transitory period games by calling it corporate red tape. May as well jump straight to saying Blizzard's output sucking after being acquired by Activision had nothing to do with Activision.
>>750208964Everything in your post is made up out of thin air by your ill brain. Have a good one.
>>750209064>and enabled the executives of those studios to create punishing work environments while acting as a convenient external source for blameyou guys seem to have this really big mental block where "this company is owned by another company" is concernedit's almost like you know EA owns them but you want to lay all blame on the individual company instead of their masters. it's almost like you'll completely ignore corporate structure, ownership, and management for a chance to batter yourself against a puppet wearing an acquired company's face. it's almost like you know the hydra has a great number of heads but you couldn't care less that there's a main body behind all of them
>>750206014>People were critical of the ending of ME3. Often EA gets the blame because they forced the game to release instead of giving BioWare more time. In this case, that would be EA’s fault.I don’t even think it’s EA’s fault that ME3 had a shit ending. They still didn’t have a satisfying ending written by the time they got to a fully built, publishable game. That’s 100% on BioWare, not EA.
>>750181241it's time people accepted that it's okay to be nonbuynary
>>750181241Bioware was a zombie studio.That game was just the bullet in the brain.
>>750209273Who sets Bioware's deadlines, anon.Go on.Who is in a position to set Bioware's deadlines.
>>750181846Those who are ignorant will ask if we had the right to kill Bioware, those who know the truth understand we had no right to let them live.
>>750209198Yeah, it’s almost like we have experience working for big companies and sub-brands and know what we’re talking about. I’ve worked for mid-sized divisions of companies as big as EA and know how hands-off the parent company is when it comes to day-to-day operations. Shit, I’ve been in EA’s offices in Redwood City. What’s the biggest company you’ve ever worked at, chucklefuck?
>>750209083Oh those poor devs, the dastardly megacorp clearly forced them to be incredibly fucking gay with every game they made after acquisition, why, it was so bad that they were contractually obligated to fill their socials with gay shit as well. Well I'm sure that when the NDA lifts they'll come out and correct the record by telling us the big bad businessmen forced them to be gay, champion gay shit, antagonise their customers and make games for faggots all along.No one with a head on their shoulders is gonna deny that EA doesn't mandate the DEI stuff for investment capital, that's well documented industry wide. But don't suggest that the fags at Bioware weren't completely and totally on board with that shit. They made Veilguard completely willingly, I would go so far as to argue that they made it gleefully, there's no way in hell that any corporate DEI mandate directly told them to put top surgery scars on player models.
>>750209523What's this "we" shit, you got a frog in your pocket?
>>750209339>BioWare didn’t bother to write and ending before they were threatened with a deadline multiple YEARS into developmentYeah, no, not EA’s fault. The new people they brought in after the mass exodus at the closure of ME2 development were dog shit.
>>750209525>They made Veilguard completely willingly,Even some cursory googling about Veilguard says otherwise, that EA didn't want them to continue DA's longer running story. Go away and quit posting like a Fox News comment section on /v/.
>>750209273It really didn't help that they pivoted from the dark matter plot thread to le AI rebellion. I think if they'd stuck with a plot related to the fucking title, ME3's ending might have turned out better.
>>750209712Not that anon but Veilguard devs were crying about homophobic chuds multiple times on bluesky. EA didn't force them to do that.
>>750209712You think someone in a position to influence the decision at EA was a fan of Bioware's older games and that's why they got to limp along as long as they did while studios like Visceral get immediately shuttered after DS3 failed to hit a completely unrealistic sales expectation?
>>750209931Bluesky didn't even exist at the time of Veilguard's development, who gives a shit what they're doing now
>>750181241I'm supposed to believe this thing is biologically female?
>>7502100594chan's got guys who scream that marilyn monroe's jaw is too square and she had a penis
>>750209956Visceral deserved it for the love triangle B plot alone
>>750209982The people who made Veilguard are not the Baldurs Gate 1/2 or DA:O devs. The fault may lie with EA for pushing out the old guard but who remained would have made a bad game regardless.
>>750209956yeah i do think bioware had more clout within the company than visceral and that EA didn't want the PR hit of shuttering bioware for no reasoni also don't think this dissuaded EA from being total fucking dickheads to bioware at all, and EA couldn't ask for better shills than the """people""" in this thread who think bioware had creative or executive control over virtually anything they did after being bought
Taash is the most accurate depiction of a non binoid. I don't think it was intentional though.
>>750210093Hollywood eunuchs are well-known. Nobody even debates this anymore. Marilyn was one in a long line of them used to compromise presidents.
>>750204281No
>>750181241At least anthem bowed out gracefully and sold itself for $2 before roping. Veilguard is still $70 digital and physical new at most major outlets.
>>750181241I JUST KILLED A STUDIO WITH MY FREAKIN PRONOUNS
>>750210097You mean the plot that goes nowhere because the other guy goes nuts, tries to kill you in a cutscene, and ends up dead because he offered violence to Isaac "Shit Stomper" Clarke?
>>750210541https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp0v_k0T53I
>>750211081Yeah, the plot that could have been removed entirely except the betrayal without the game losing anything for it
>>750181390He’s… abiding…>>750181241It’s funny that corpos have so little creative control that HR is pulling moves like this
>>750181241>was it justifiedconsidering it didnt make a profit yes. Gaming isnt a charity, pander to the lower demographic turns out doesnt give you sales who woulda known.
>>750211243Game devs are entitled to your money, chud.
>>750211243Unless said lower demographic is ball and gun gamers.
>>750183258He made you a man. Sort of .
>>750181241So.... im nobuynary...
Leftists (aka, "those hate white people") had every opportunity to win the culture war. They just had to go out and buy all of this wokeslop and convince brown people to buy it as well; but EVIDENTLY even Leftists didn't buy these games and their own golems didn't cooperate either. I guess the Globalists who pay people to protest(aka RIOT) for Leftist causes(aka, the destruction of western civilization) should've required them to buy wokeslop with part of their earnings!
Surely marketing and pandering to 1% of the population, over the majority market in action rpg's which is male gamers in their teens to 30s is a smart business move right? Theres a reason why asian and european (outside of ubishit) isnt having a gaming apocalypse
>>750181241it was the final proof that not only will they not learn from their mistakes, but they'll even double down on them.
>>750211739I doubt it's even 1%, they probably just did more extrapolation chicanery common to studies these days.
>>750181390For he is Legion.
>>750183514People are confused by the concept of autonomy which is what the entire point of the creation myth is.God gave man free will because free will is good. Adam and Eve freely choose to ignore God's boundaries and rules.Atheists hate this because they are narcissists who want to control everything like an asshole instead of letting people do what they want. Hence why no one likes troons and the LGBT because they are trying to force their ways and beliefs on to everyone when really no one gives a shit and just wants to be left alone and free.
>>750184438>Didn't take gamer gate seriously>Lost everythingLol the irony.
>>750184629>Do these retards even have a modicum of self awareness?No. There aren't enough souls to go around.
>>750205783Don't look at me anon I'm not a dev.
>>750208708Oh now after you get btfo harder than your countrymen when Mohammed used his truck of peace, NOW taking sides is bad? How convenient, discord pedotroon

>>750186217And that's how you win. Luigi figured this out a decade ago.
>>750182027Don't those people realize their mental illness is completely uninteresting? Also goes for fetishes and preferences. If you were to change his dialogue for "you know I like feminine women, with long hair and big breasts", the response would likely be nobody asked, retard Someone who's that long gone, who is incapable of any sort of reflection, you cannot write anything. You're lost in your demented world, blissfully unaware you are just a boring retard people would rather avoid precisely because you are trying to use your weirdo garbage as a substitute for having a personality. You want special treatment and attention for being a type of retard, but people instinctively know you will never deliver an interesting conversation because behind this whole garbage lies a narcissistic schizo
>>750186161>>750186196>>750186243it was just tedious. i could probably 100% crash 1 - 3 in the time it would take just to get to the final boss of crash 4. they really misunderstood what people wanted from a new crash game, and it wasn't a retardahard tryhard shitfest.
>>750215789>Don't those people realize their mental illness is completely uninteresting? Also goes for fetishes and preferences.no, they really don't understand that. these kinds of people genuinely fail to understand that being a tranny or being non-binary is not a substitute for having a personality, which is why that tends to be all they ever talk about. as you describe, straigh dudes who constantly talk about having sex or how hot women are are equally as obnoxious, and it's not tolerated. the thing is, if you tell that straight dude to shut the fuck up, he isn't going to kill himself because of it. a tranny WILL kill himself if you tell him to shut the fuck up, so you have to walk on eggshells around these people, otherwise your words will be called violence, as though simply saying words could ever be considered violence. if they kill themselves because you told them to fuck off, you didn't do anything to cause them to be dead.
>>750181241>Face scanning onto something that ought to be more creature-likeModern western dev studios deserve every bad thing that happens to them.
>So... I'm non-employed.
>>750216328How dare you make fun of the vocationally challenged.
>>750216425most trannies are unemployed, but that's hardly the reason why they receive hatred
>"NOOOO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, IT'S THE EXECS THAT FORCED BIOWARE TO MAKE THEIR GAME SHIT"
>>750216217I think the biggest problem with games is the business model. It hardly matters if someone dislikes a game, they already bought it. The money for the bad product is already in the hands of the bad producer.
>>750216691you jest, but it probably was. there's no logical reason why these devs would keep making games that kill their own companies, but they keep doing it. over and over and over. and then when their companies die. those same developers immediately get hired at another game studio and continue doing the exact same thing.
>>750181331>haven't made a decent game in a decade>omg why are you closing our studiothe writing was on the wall
>>750216217Unrealistic, nobody would break their TV over looking at this garbage, they would just say eh whatever this looks terrible and move on. Imagining that people break their stuff just because Bioware shat their latest commie turd is giving them way too much importance.
>>750216828just get a refund
>>750216691Who is the person you're quoting, quoting?
>>750217059it's some AI generated weird family guy ripoff, it's not that deep
>>750181241Andromeda was midAnthem was shit Veilguard was shitLast good game they made was 12 years ago
>>750198374
>>750217000I really really want to know what the argument for any other outcome would be. I see a ton of retards crying about how REAL GAYMURS wouldn't be happy shitty devs are fired, but no arguments for anything else. Even they know it would be retarded to openly say they believe devs should continue to be paid for failure because they're ideologically aligned.
What also killed Bioware was that two companies basically outclassed them in what used to be their strengths. You want a game for a story driven by player choices? You go play Witcher games. You want a CRPG? You go play Larian games and there are other choices in the market too. Bioware lost their talent plus stopped doing what they were once good at. People just shrugged, moved on and all that was left was for the bioware employees to screech in social media that people were in some crusade against them while most people just shunned them and played something else, perhaps some die hard old school fans of BG1/2, KOTOR and ME were laughing at them, but to most ignoring them to invest time in other games was easy.
Niggers arguing theology in this thread
>>750217247it's not like bideo james are subsidized. if their studios fail, there's not going to be anyone bailing them out. all of this ideologic schizo garbage constantly causes studios to die, it's not a mystery why it's happening. the fact is though that they keep doing it anyway. if you want to lose your job because you think it's important to put black trannies in your products, it really shouldn't be a mystery why that strategy is not profitable anymore.

>>750181241Didnt most of the hire ups that directed and lead this game end up just getting more lead position jobs at other companies?
>>750186571I can only speak for myself but when I play a fantasy game I want to play as a woman, not a tranny.
>>750218116The fucked up thing is she's really cute compared to the ogres we get now. Where are all the fags who would reply to any pattern recognizers with "le slippery slope fallacy" now that everything has come to pass?
>>750195084What about Veilguard do you think EA mandated that ruined it. Which part of the writing and/or gameplay?
>>750218198they always do. the people who make these terrible decisions are never the ones who actually suffer from their consequences.
>>750209339Lax deadlines lead to decade-development games with impossible to recoup losses. If you can't meet a sane deadline, don't start making the game.
>>750195964You can put whatever political ideological garbage you want in your games. The fact that they fail to sell and ruin the company is specifically because gamers are the problems. They're all racist, homophobic, and transphobic. That must be the reason, it's not because nobody wanted to be told what to think and what opinions to have, it's because gamers are bad people.As far as why you'd want to go in to an industry who exclusively sells products to bad people? It's anyone's guess. It is a mystery.

>>750218257>but when I play a fantasy game I want to play as a woman, not a trannyI don't get this, especially in worlds with magic. If you were a tranny, wouldn't you want to play as an actual woman instead of a surgical freak? Why do a lot of them even identify as transwomen at all if they're also going to claim that trans women are real women?
>>750218693I refuse to believe these are genuine posts and not elaborate shitposting
>>750218938I truly believe there are real transgenders out there with some horrible brain condition.I also believe every trans flag twitter poster is actually just a fetishist.
>>750182512retard detected, DA2 was the best game in the series >but muh reused mapsliterally who gives a shit, the combat was peak and the writing even more peak
>>750218879They're simply just boring people with no personalities. A lot of people in the tranny community are autistic incels who have never once had a real life friend and this is how they've decided to cope and find a community for themselves. A big part of the reason why people hate trannies in the first place is because the community is simply made up of bad people. They'd be bad people even if they weren't trannies, but that certainly doesn't help their case.
>>750219081>t. fag sympathizerget out mah vidyer
>>750219081Lmao DA2 was fucking shit bro both combat wise and storywise. Nigga you dont remember the threads of people here LAMBASTING the game for its atrocious storytelling.
>>750219057>I also believe every trans flag twitter poster is actually just a fetishist.they are. there is zero reason why anybody needs to know that you're a tranny except for a doctor. putting those fagflags in your profile tells me that you have no personality and are not worth engaging with. you might as well just list your fetishes, because that's evidently the only thing you care about, the shit you jack off to.
>>750216828>It hardly matters if someone dislikes a game, they already bought it.This could be said for literally anything.Movies? Already bought the ticket.Book? Already bought the physical copy.Hell, this is not restricted to entertainment. I bought a wardrobe that started showing problems a few weeks after the 3 months to return policy expired. I fucking hate it, but I already bought it.
