>>750267431EA only cares about money and bioware was losing them tons of it.
>blowbackLol because they sucked cocks and made games about sucking cock haha got it
go back
Are these twitter people for real? EA wont give a single fuck. They only care about the sports and gun cavemen.
>>750267505EA IS EVIL ALL EA WANTS TO DO IS SHITTY SPORTS GAMES FOR GAY JOCKS
EA's not gonna say shit, Bioware is just another tombstone in their graveyard. The studio was well past its prime they were never returning to the old Bioware.
>>750267431I pray to god. Someone in EA will tell everyone I got this. Then proceed to make a public statement that the cause were mindsets inserting agendas at the expense of making dynamically interesting games that cover classical story telling traditions which were continuously ignored despite their advice.
>>750267431Deluded, retarded nonsense, EA gives no fucks about anything but money and crying isn’t money
>>750267506lolmao
What response are they expecting? "This company has been insolvent for a decade but we're going to keep it running to own the chuds"? Who cares what they say if the end result is the same?
>>750267505The exec that bought Bioware lost them tons of money
>>750267431EA should've known that consumertards fall in love with brands and trademarks instead of the actual developers who make the games they like and don't work there anymore.
>>750267431?I have only seen people making fun of them lmao
>>750267431What do you mean EA won't be responding to Major Fartgas's requests for parlay?
>>750267431is the support in the room with us?
>>750267431>supportWorthless>moneyIs all.Also looking at the games history of bioware it's so funny how they never made any really god games. Just shitty"rpgs" that millennials played during their childhood and idolize.Yes baldurs gate too, SPECIALLY baldurs gate.
>>750267431>Troons think they are going to rally the gun and ball gamers. Delusional.
>>750267431Kek what fucking support, the one the center of the universe imagined?Reads like the mad ramblings of a narcissistic ape.
>>750267431They are so fucking delusional, it's hilarious.
>>750267561so don't buy their games.
>>750268735what the fuck is this creature
>>750267431Loud ass trannies who aren't real people isn't "blowback".
>>750267431That’s why there’s no point in arguing with them, their minds simply work differently. They believe that people mocking Bioware are genuinely providing "support."
Can't wait for them to run out of money from them still living in Commiefornia, buying onions lattes, and estrogen.
Why would anyone support Bioware with what they've been doing since ME3? I'm kinda shocked it took them so long to shut it down.
>>750268991modern audience
>>750267431>this much blowbackthis is like nothing compared to every other recent event that had even greater backlash. these corpos arent going to do shit lmao also fuck bio and ea
>>750269612And if they're in Canadia, same difference.
>>750267431>BlowbackSome fags impotently thrashing on Jewsky is not “blowback”.
>>750269552Genuinely what do you have to do to fall upwards into getting paid like half a million yearly for doing fucking nothing?
>>750269710edmonton is pretty cheap. there probably aren't many jobs for them there though. casey hudson made a new studio but i doubt they want to repeat the same mistakes as bioware.
>>750267431>blowbackThe concensus is "well they didn't make a good game in 20 years" the people who lost their shit is the non playing audience.
>>750267431It's easy to blame EA cause they're full of shit but I think Bioware also had quite a part on what happened
I'm surprised people still give a single shit about Bioware. Andromeda, Anthem and nu-dragon age were all flops and shit that it's not surprising they closed that studio down
>>750269795nepotism drives most of it
Chuddha, what if...
>>75026899130yo white woman
>>750267431Irrelevant, the vote was cast when nobody supported Veilguard. Only those moving on the social circles that did would have their feeds showing support and misconstruct that for reality. All this proves is that social media doesn´t actually connect people but segregates them into groups of like-minded individuals.
>>750267431>Massive blowbackIn reality a loud minority of faggots on the internet. The same loud minority who never buys these games.
>>750267431The "struggle" of these people are their whole identity.If they abdicate then there is nothing left of them.Now I wonder if people still working in the video games field will ever fell free to be irreverent toward the dilated class. I would seize every single opportunity to spit in their faces.
>>750267431Why are the people angry about this? No one of the originals bioware (nwn, da, me1 ecc) is on the team anymore. Are they really defending the creators of cisquisition and tranny age? Really?
just make a new IP and studio?I thought they were the "creatives"?
>>750267637this. theyre just another headstone in a large EA graveyard
>>750267916>bought biowareafter watching one whole youtube video, let's recap>Electronic Arts at least two billion in annual total debt>Bioware making mid games every 4 years, not exceeding any grand amount (or possibly their own game budgets) to justify their existence>Saudi oil barons scoop up the company for $55 billion, $20 billion of which was bought with bank loans>goes private>justifiably, through the amount of incurred debts and previous track records, cuts losses by dropping entire studios>keeps the departments that will keep making them money because footballcattle will always existThe idea is that, in the longterm, divegrass will always be profitable, and if you can turn the company around everywhere else it will be worth the investment. Why it took picnic cloth wearing sand men to do it for them, who the fuck knows why.
>>750267431>blowback literally nobody other than a echo chamber of mentally ill internet fucks cares tranny
>>750270341Bioware killed themselves
Bioware was killed by its own founders who sold the studio to EA 20 years ago.
>>750270536There was a 52% chance that they would do it.The odds were in our favor.
>>750270341Great infographic on how EA utterly destroyed PC gaming.
>>750269795be a woman (pretend or real)
>>750267431Bioware hasn't made a good game since DA:O, who the fuck cares
Twitter is so up its own ass, as soon as you stop looking at twitter it just disappears. Nobody cares what twitter fags have to say except journos who rely on twitter for views.
>>750269795be a rich girl from a rich family
I see literally no blowback and only put fries in the bag memes
>>750267431The fuck they mean "those lizards"????I won't stand for this reptile racism!
>>750267561Good, this means that they will stop buying studios to kill
>>750267431>my echo chamber is VERY noisy guysTotal Chudda victory yet again
>>750270341I miss bullfrog's spirit, heart in the right place. Pure fun all around.
>>750267431It'll blow over I mean who thinks this is gonna change anything lol
>>750267505saudis don't give a fuck about anything except the fact that they feel like it's neat that they own fifa nownone of that other shit registers at all, they're too busy fucking their concubines to read tweets from bioware fans
when was the last time bioware turned a profit
uhh dont people remember DA2 and how EA ruined itThen they ruined me3and how they made DAI into a sloppy open worldand then they had bioware, a studio known for sp rpgs produce an always online pvp mtx titleWhat are people even wanting to be kept on lifesupport? The name?
>>750267431I'm having a blowback
>>750267431>blowbackWhere's the blowback?Is this the most buckbroken we've ever seen these retards? It's like they can't wrap their heads around the fact that Bioware was an abject failure and their policies around DEI topics were a major part of it.
>>750270712Piracy killed PC gaming
>>750271023AI says 2014.
>>750267431If Bioware had so much support, we wouldn't be talking about it closing because their games would be profitable. >It didn't have anything to do with sales chud! It's actually because Donald Trump woke up one morning and decided to use Kushner and the Saudis to kill Bioware!
>>750269980But nepotism can only go so far, because the AAA scene is running out of companies.
>>750267431
>>750271125No it didn'tIt existed before PCs that can run video games were even a thing.
>>750267431Could've swore it was a fireback.
>>750271125That odd.https://gizmodo.com/the-eu-suppressed-a-300-page-study-that-found-piracy-do-1818629537A study commissioned by the EU itself says the contrary, that's why they hid it.
Do zoomers and younger millennials actually, genuinely believe that boomer and older Gen X execs spend any time browsing whatever dumb shit people are talking about on social media? That shit's for goyim.
>>750271125You're as retarded as Sweeney. He was the one that tried to kill PC with the piracy bogeyman. The monster Sony is today is his fault.
>>750270386>Bioware making mid games every 4 yearsthis is also EA's fault, corporate meddling
no one cares about bioware dyingthere's no blowback about nothing
>>750267431I still don't get why Avellone waited until now to spill out their misandrist, racist and discriminatory hiring practices. Why wait to expose this filthy cabal especially after all the shit they put his through? The sons of bitches liked what they were doing but in all of these companies there are still normal people. I get walking through hell daily and not wanting to lose your job but this did not apply to him since he was thrown to the wolves as an innocent man just because a whore woke on the other side of the bed one morning. What an asshole he is.
>>750267431kek EA wanted to get rid of Bioware for 15+ years. They know exactly what they're doing. I wouldn't be surprised if they filled it with troons who make dogshit just to achieve this outcome.
>>750271837so brave
Titanfall 3 died so Star Wars could be more jewish
Reminder that if the Mass Effect game released instead of getting shelved you'd have been allied to Batarians.
>>750271863me wasting billions on one studio so i can point to the billions i wasted over fifteen years and say LOOK WHAT BIOWARE DID and frogposters on 4chan actually believe it
>>750267431just two more weeks and bioware will be back boys
>>750267431Bots on reddit are not support
>>750271764Bioware was staffed by exactly the kinds of retards that EA likes. I don't think that any studio epitomized EA more in terms of their attitude. The Bioware of the mid-00s has been dead since the late 00s.
>>750268763kek
>>750271931The Batarians being allied with the alliance would be like the jews being allied with the 3rd Reich after hilter successfully completed the holocaust
>>750269795suck cock(s)
>>750271816True, however the rainbow colored parasites still have very sensitive friends in the loop to cry out loud for them on the internet.I hate these bastards because they never attacked the economic statue-quo, instead went for the most trivial shit only jews cared about.I know it was the plan because of occupy wall street. I am mad. These people are my enemy.
>>750267431Videgames are very expensive to make and they barely make a profit anymore, what do you want these companies to do? They're losing a ton of money
what blowback
>>750272356>they barely make a profit anymore,is that why gaming overtook pretty much all forms of entertainment in profit?
>>750272424Mobileslop isn't videogames
>>750267431Lets not act like they really care about the studio. They just force studios to bend the knee to the woke and they do not care if you crash and burn. They will just move to the next victim that boosts their message
>>750267431>I suddenly LOVE EA because they shut down the lgbt studio!!hypocrite much?
>>750269552>do fucking nothing all day>you can now afford a Porsche Taycan
>>750270984*hiding from Iranian rockets
>>750272424He's obviously talking about western AAA.The fact that China, South Korea, and Japan will probably release a dozen beloved games that make big money next year has nothing to do with whether Bioware can be trusted to make a game that gamers want in an efficient manner. The people who work at Bioware don't even believe that their games should have to appeal to gamers in order for them to continue getting paid six digit salaries.>The next one was totally going to be it, guys!Maybe they should have made that instead of Andromeda and Veilguard, then.
>>750267431If they're getting all this "support" and the evil grifting chuds are a minority, where was this "support" while the studio was alive and why didn't it result in their games being bought?
>>750271863>They know exactly what they're doingsorry anon but the men in suits are actually just retarded. and they're the ones with all of the money and power in the world. hilarious, right?
>>750267431>blowback>support for biowarekek
>>750270264
>>750267431>I may be delusionalAt least he admits it
>>750271931Humans could have made the remaining batarians their puppets/servants after most of them got genocided.
i don't care about biowarethey were dead as soon as EA bought them, they never made a good game while owned by EAdon't try to tell me ME2 was good when it was just a chest high wall corridor shooter
>>750267431>there's no way suits weren't expecting this much backlashThese xitter manchildren think reality is an avengers movie. Every decision corpos make is coldly calculated and that includes studio closures and layoffs. Mathematically, to them, they're going to save more money by doing this, taking every lawsuit head on plus the hit to their reputation, than by keeping Bioware alive
>>750272424Retard
>>750267431just who does this tranny think it is
>>750267431Blowback?
>>750267431the nostalgia is real. but that company has been dead for two decades. it's a money pit. EA did nothing wrong.
>>750267431social media has rotted these retards brains
>>750267561Low budget. High profit. Where's the problem?
>>750268735The power of total denial and living in fantasy land. Woke morons are gunna woke at any and all cost.
>>750270386>>goes privateoh EA actually went private?no wonder they are axing ESG baggage
>>750267431What blowback?
>>750267431>blowbackWho was upset by this?
delusional as leftists always are over the reality of thingsxem xirs best chance is that EA/saudis take notice that the mass effect ip is still in demand and hand it over to another studio but these freaks are never gonna work on it againEA or muhammed if you are reading this make a battlefield game with the mass effect ip call it "mass effect contact war" where humans first meet aliens and its one brutal battle according to the lore
>>750272805A man's definition of 'affording' something is different from a woman. Her entire life is tied up in credit cards. Probably a few HELOCs, too.
>>750273351EA was also bought out by the Saudis a few months ago. They're not even publicly listed on the stock market anymore.
>>750267431Almost none of these "supporters" bought Veilguard. Bioware wouldn't have been in dire straits if they actually made money
>>750268735>The goal is to make moneyBioware was being creative>Not creative enough to be worth chud's money
>>750271837Why should Avellone reveal this if he didn’t feel like it before. They told him with their actions that he wouldn’t have an enjoyable time at their company anyways.
>>750267431Yeah.... weren't you supposed to boycott Sims 4? Why is it doing a lot better now with a player-driven marketplace?
>>750272805Pretty sure that's a Panamera. That vid came out years before the Taycan released.
>>750267431They need to hire people who likes 24, space operas with cosmic horrors, and curvy women in skintight suits to handle Mass Effect. It shouldn't be that hard. The western industry has gone out of its way to hire the lunatics who are running it into the ground.
>>750269795Get an MBA and become a sociopath, and leave a trail of bodies of your rivals in your wake.
>>750267637>old BiowareBioware has quite possibly ever made a good game. Their character writing is atrocious. It is like a parody of a midwit GM writing. Picture related, the worst written character in all of video game history.>yes please, I'd like to invite the lol-so-random gnome inventor into my party where he gets to do his funny little epic random funnyman stand-up show until the end of time to the point where you wish you were experiencing marvel dialogue instead>its cuz he's CHAOTIC NEUTRAL lol! isn't he epic??Oh my fucking god just thinking about playing BG2 is making my blood pressure spike
>>750273847there's a rejection of reality in the left. none of them will ever say bioware shut down because of poor sales.
>>750271931Shepard and the reepers, and then the Shepard controlled reapers buck broke the Batarians so hard that they are full on civilized 600 years later
>>750267431EA is re-remastering wing commander under the same crew who did cnc, fuck bioware.Also Bioware died for them as the arabs in DA2.
Bioware worked great as a containment studio and I'm worried that the actual good ones like owlcat are getting infected next.
>>750273291>don't try to tell me ME2 was goodit was in its own way. dumbed down for COD audiences but hit a sweet spot. its one of those stupid but fun games (the vanguard hit hard)story was retarded and a terrible sequel since it went hurr durr what are reapers and the character missions were mostly daddy issues but they really expanded the universe with the terminus systems. DLC was also good but this was where the industry started to cut content that was obviously gonna be part of the game and sell it to you later.sounds all very negative but the game was fun and compared to the current industry we didnt know how much worse things would get
>>750274264Containment is a lie. Every "containment zone" is actually a breeding ground.Every western AAA studio that closes is one less avenue for a Bluesky freak to put->worked on [big budget game]-on his resume. And it also makes those resume entries into abject failures.
Just a reminder that they censored mirandas ass shot in the legendary remaster.Politics aside the retarded but fun "ass effect" memes and machinima vids back in the day probably sold tons of units just for that shit alone. these people are completely out of touch with reality and making money and i am glad that bioware is officially shut down
>>750267561That's fine. I'm not playing them.
>>750267431Fired devs crying on bluesky isn't blowback.
>>750274264first of all the mind virus is everywhere and second the industry is in the gutter and no one is hiring
We finna bringing Bioware back bros...oh physical games on PS5 too...? No I think that's done...let's not talk about that...please stop advocating for things that might benefit you...
>>750267431>locked replies
>>750274209>crafting bait for 45 year olds on a board filled with zoomersWhat is the point of this exercise
>>750267431doesn't basically everyone agree that bioware was a zombie, left and right?
>>750267431more people lost their minds over PlayStation stopping physical media and they even had a day or two of boycotting. the only replies that got from Sony was them announcing the decision is final. Why would this be any different? and when did people start thinking of EA as some great company and not one that regularly kills their studios?
>>750274709The surest sign that your stance is popular!
>>750274191I never really liked 24 but I still miss that era of hating all exploding goat-fuckers and that everything bad that happened to one was for the best.
>>750267431They can just re-open it with new people and cleanse the crap from the company that way.
>>750274261EA has more care for their old 90's games than bioware.They gave ultima back to gariott because he can do better.
>>750274796EA might be the vidya devil but they gave plenty of chances to bioware post mass effect 3they fucked up both andromeda and anthem and still got the green light on dragon age which they turned into a tranny pozz simulator. some dev replies also implied that the tortanic also financially carried bioware for a while (got sold off in 2023) so the dragon age shit was the best they could deliver at this point
>>750267505>Ea cares about money LMFAAOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking retard
>>750267431Studios are starting to understand that loud people on the internet can be safely ignored at little to no cost to cose business.True for Sony with physical, true for Rockstar with Netflix and lack of disc, true for EA and BioWare.Nobody's gonna affect their core business (FIFA ultimate team cards) because of fucking BioWare, lol.
>>750273847reality has a left-wing bias, chud.
>>750275247>True for Sony with physicalworked out great. console is hacked and every game is now free available for download via its own store
>>750267431ME4 would've been Gears of War situation all over again>Long absent IP gets a new game>300+ Millions in budget >It flops because the game sucks and it needs to sell like 7 million copies just to break even
>>750267431They had 6 years to develop a new Mass Effect and all they produced was one shitty trailer. EA should have pulled the plug after that awful Dragon Age game,there was nothing of any value left in modern day Bioware worth saving
>>750275328not outside the west faggot
>>750275426could work if its in the hand of old school gamers that create a game and not a lecture for their audience. the mass effect 3 multiplayer alone in a modern engine would be peak
>the entire mass effect franchise sold less than witcher 2genuinely what the fuck are westoids doingEA should've muzzled Bioware and Visceral games instead of handing them a blank check to make slop for a terminally online minority
>>750275426They could crank out new games every year or two during the 360 era. What the hell happened to modern game development where every game takes like a decade to be made now? All the extra time is not producing better games
>>750267431They're just pissing on the hornets nest, watch EA close another money drain woke dev they own just to spite these picket signers.
>>750275656You don't want your artists to be muzzled. You want them to have things to say and to put those things in their work.The problem is that they've hired people who have nothing intelligent to say. Those people need to go and the people that they hate for living in reality need to be brought in.
>>750275707Like it or not the expedient pace of game development could be attributed to constant crunching that was happening across the industry
>>750275656>>the entire mass effect franchise sold less than witcher 2last i heard the series sold 25 million but those numbers were old and witcher 2 was 15 million
>>750268735Does this dumb bitch think bioware wasn't a company that needed to be profitable before being bought by EA?
>>750267561It was a match made in hell
>>750275707>What the hell happened to modern game development where every game takes like a decade to be made now?gaming went mainstream in the late 2000s and everything went corporate along with bureaucracy and all the other cancer that ruined the modern workplace once again if you replace nerds with political activists you get shit
>>750275247Lol no, the fuckers fed a bubble that burst already.
>>750267431should have asked the support to buy their games
>>750267561As opposed to shitty games for gay niggers?
>>750268763Theres probably at least 20 people in this thread activating their coomer brains at the inflation shit in the first 10 seconds. This joke works on some many levels. First is that this process of fucking bioware was approved, the other is that somebody is ill enough to actually generate this. The horseshoe ends get close and closer
gos i fucking hate they released that mass effect trailerall the fucking morons on the internet always claim any canceled game ever was going to be the most amazing thing ever. it looked like fucking dogshit
>>750267561I prefer that. Their graveyard will no longer receive sacrifices.
>>750276785Isn't that a good thing they released it then? Proof it was going to be a bad game, near 100% certainty.
>>750276785this is one of the writers and they expect it to be good lol
>>750271125palworld didnt even have drm
>>750267431Do they think EA will just willingly lose money to angry troons who don't even buy the games that they "love"?
>>750276785Didn't you read story leaks?!, it was going to be sooooooooo awesome!!
>>750267505Bioware was losing money because EA wokeified it, and they continue to do that to other companies under them and continue to lose money.I hope EA implodes
>>750270341No, BioWare killed itself, out of all those studios BioWare was allowed to fuck up over and over again.
>>750277413>Bioware transitions into a woke company >Kills itselfLike pottery
>>750277413>>750277476And why did Bioware turn into a woke company? What event caused it to do so?There's a specific and definitive answer
>>750277637The 12 years of rape.
>>750267505If that were the case, they would have shut them down years ago. This was part of the restructuring regarding the buyout, since Jared Kushner and comp used fuckton of loans to buy EA.
>>750267431I will admit that ME4 trailer look kind of kino, but you just know that the game was stuffed full of wokeslop. Bioware deserved this fate.
>>750277637Success of ME1 and DAO. They just couldn't handle the pressure and went insane.
>the amount of supportTalk is cheap. Signing a petition is cheap. You faggots didn't buy the games.
>>750277803>whispers in your ear>*ding dong bannu*
>>750269795Good looking woman or a rich dad.
>>750276785Now Free Radical getting shut down when they were working on Battlefront III, that was a real travesty. You know what that leaked trailer had? ACTUAL FUCKING GAMEPLAY.
>>750267505Go woke, go broke
>>750267431oh no, no the blowback, what will EA do now???quick they must do something, release some piece of shit garbage game for lefties so they can suck each others cocks on that tranny safespace gaming subreddit
>>750277637Once EA took over, the wokies gained the overhand and FIERCELY pushed their agenda. This seems to happen a lot when actually making profit loses priority, because you now have a big daddy corporation to pay all the bills.I get the feeling that Bioware developers finally saw the writing on the wall when woke studios were being shut down left and right, because the trailer had a really good tone to it and it wasn't woke at all. That realization just came too late.RIP Mass Effect.
>>750275159He is right.
>>750271125No, the slump PC gaming had in the early 2000's was due to Microsoft buying out PC focused devs and dragging them over to Xbox, that includes Bioware who made KOTOR timed exclusive to Xbox. PC was strong in the 90's because it was THE western platform and Consoles were the Japanese thing. MS changed that. There was also publishers like Interplay wanting to chase Console bucks when they saw Final Fantasy numbers compared to Baldurs Gate, which lead them to making the mistake of creating console exclusives like Dark Alliance and hoping PC gamers would follow them to Console while gaining a new fanbase on Console.
The craziest thing is that these troglodytes don't realize that EA put up with Bioware's awful performance for over a decade, and that everyone thought Bioware would be shut down pretty quickly after the acquisition. They were making memes about it.Yet EA put up with these fucking retards for a decade+, and multiple shitty, poorly selling games. One of their main IPs had a new game announced six years ago, and all they had to show for it was a clunky trailer. Fuck every blue haired autistic tranny who didn't feel that this was deserved.>>750277803Absolutely. Just look at E-Day... where's mags? where are the girlbosses? how come Marcus and Dom aren't pouring out their feelings? It's all by design. Mass Effect 4 would have been the same shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC20gLfUHeA
>>750267505This. Did /v/ forgot EA has a long history of buying studios and then killing them off when they stop making EA money?
>>750268763The homeless dude at 30s is literally me
EA was extremely hands off and generous towards BioWare which is why the past twelve years you never saw people who left the studio have anything bad to say about them, they literally let the company do whatever they wanted for over a decade as a publisher funding them with infinite free money despite their major commercially successful game coming out in fucking 2014. A former EA executive who's now the CEO of Embark is literally the reason that Anthem had its only popular and well liked feature at all; Soderlund was the one who pushed for them to keep flying in the game and said it was a non-starter to cut it when Bioware leadership was trying to cut it and just make the game mass effect gameplay in cosmetic armor suits because they didn't want to bother with verticality in level design.
>>750271931Not me, I would have found a way to fucking genocide their entire disgusting race.
>>750278857>flying in the gameDefinitely the best part of Anthem. You could have made a great licensed Iron Man game with the gameplay of Anthem.
>>750267431looney troons don't even buy the games they so ardently defend, what's the appeal in capitulating to them?westoids do it because they're afraid of getting cancelled, by saudi oil princes don't give a shit, what leverage do these faggots think they have?
>>750269552>day in the life at my job>doesn't show any of her work>just gossiping with friends, eating, drinking, and posingThis is the kind of job chronically idle people dream of
>>750278550I still remember that time anon registered the domain EAstarwars.com and filled it with the logos of companies killed by EA while Komm Susser Todd played in the background.
>>750278332you know what the last decade reminds me of?ionstorm and daikatana, they were pretty arrogant/sure of themselves, I remember the magazine ads about kicking peoples asses.
>>750267431>I may be delusionalAt this faggot knows it lol

>>750281701Holy ESL
EA was sold with leverage buy, they have 18b of debt now with 1.8b/year payments while generating 1.5b of profits, they can't do shit but cut everything and make sport and gacha.
>>750267431we are going to rape & kill all western devs
>>750271125It killed the PC exclusive*
>>750267431imagine even believing this, the EA CEO is literally the devil.
>>750267431Saudi Arabia doesnt care about you trannys killing yourselves on reddit infact they will dance in the sands praying to their goat fucking no morale foundation god for it
>blowback>like 10 retards on twitter and that faggot jason schrier on blueskynone of these people actually bought a bioware title, free review samples are not sales
>>750269795Be an average woman living the most privileged existence in recorded human history.
>>750278497wokeshit has gotten sneakier, they hide it a couple of hours into the game now
>>750267431>WokeWareKWAB
>>750278550none of these twitter faggot cared about videogames 10 years agonow that gays and trannies got fired suddenly it is a problemthis is nothing about videogames and everything about the identity politics and propaganda machine that bioware had become getting. shut down. its like a wing of their political party closing. they care less about videogames than /v/ does.
>>750282114Kek the BG3 strategy: Slowly crank up the number of gay NPCs the longer the game goes on.
>>750267431EA will think they could use Bioware as a label to slap on games they think can't be worse. In reality it's more like slapping on a cyanide patch.
>>750267431EA bros?
>>750267431Fifa and madden bros, are we boycotting ?
>>750278857Yeah, but how much of the staffing was due to EA? I feel they weren't picking the best replacements as they lose the best talent.
>>750267431I hate EA as much as the next guy but BioWare's closure it's not their fault. EA is not the reason why Failguard was so fucking shit
>>750282416why would EA be in charge of hiring inside of bioware? bioware had thier own DEI checklist
>>750282457did ea hold a gun to thier head and make everyone gay and the gameplay suck ass with the only viable style being i frame spell spam to avoid 1 hit attacks and removing entire schools of magic?
>>750267431Blame the Houthis. Or Trump. Or Netanyahu.
>>750267561as opposed to shitty rpgs for gay theater kids?
>>750282629>Just literally anyone other than the people who kept making games that gamers didn't like and that were unprofitable!The western AAA implosion isn't isolated to EA and you know it.
>>750268763so true
>>750269795>>750269980>>750271312the answer is investors and upper management are clueless nepobabies too who can only read bar charts and analyst reports
>>750278550so make games that make money. it's that simple.

>>750274264Lmao, owlcat? The one whose most popular game is themed in DEI purple and covered in >actually demons are just like you and meStories? The company that goes out of its way to make sure you know the sordid sexual history of every potential female love interest but none of the male ones? That's who you say is *not* infected?
>>750267561go back to bed ex-bioware employee, nobody was buying your rainbow flag simulators.
>>750267561Reminder that EA could shut down everything but their sports shit and still make profits
Sure, Bioware made Dragon Age II, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Anthem, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which were all bad games... but they themselves said the next Mass Effect game they made would have been awesome! Why would they say that if it wasn't true?How dare EA shut them down?! They were finally, after about 15 years, about to make a good game!
>>750283514Yes because russians aren't easily affected by cultural psyops.
>>750278550you forgot the 1st act, give them the money to make a solid and respectable game that make a good profit, force them to churn a sequel that betrays every aspect of what made the 1st game good, aka, slap the coat of paint of the brand on the "current thing" genre.
>>750277803there's 0 reason to hold back on the trailer except for damage controlEA knew the backlash from the faggy final game compared to the initial trailer isn't worth it, they couldn't afford another mass effect 3
>>750267431You're young, you don't about EA canceling Thrill Kill, the first 3D arena fighter and basically the only legit AO console game ever made after they bought the dev. That game had massive hype and was going to the next Mortal Kombat.So I doubt EA is going to revive Mass Effect, they're going to stick with sports, Battlefield and mobile slop.
>>750284251>So I doubt EA is going to revive Mass EffectWhy not? They can just let some other studio make it. Mass Effect Andromeda was NOT made by "Bioware" it was some other renamed studio.
>>750284251they will probably slop out another remastered edition every 10 years, easy money
>>750267505>>750267561>>750270874>WE DINDU NUFFINyou people are retarded.did EA put a gun to bioware's head and say, "i demand to own your company."or did the private equity firm see the lucrative money that EA had at the time, and say, "selling this company to EA looks like a good deal."Again, who is responsible here?Each group for their own individual decisions.This takes 5 seconds to look into.Bioware was initially under the umbrella of a private equity firm close to EA, and at the time it was largely seen as a natural fit.
>>750268735>free to tell whatever story they want whatever way they want>well ackhtually it was EA and not the fact games sold way below expectations
>>750267431Bioware has been trash for more than a decade. Anyone who was still there had nothing to do with the good games more talented developers had made in the past. These retards think the name is all that matters.
All the people crying on twitter about Bioware didn't play video games. They cared about spreading their propaganda. People like to say supportive shit but that doesn't mean they're actual customers.LISTEN. TO. YOUR. ACTUAL. CUSTOMERS. RETARDS.
I unironically have been seeing a lot of people on twitter shitting on the latest Bioware releases just like people in here, it's not an uncommon thing at all
>>750269795suck the right people
>wow look at this demand for this IP we could justify charging 10x what it's worthgood job
You can tell how brown /v/ has become by seeing how many retards actually side with EA
>>750284837>i made up a situation in my head and use that as proof of my 'argumets'lol/10
>>750270237Developers can't accept that they are as replaceable as any worker at McDonalds. They literally select premade assets from dropdown menus and wonder why ai is replacing them.
>>750285036>LISTEN. TO. YOUR. ACTUAL. CUSTOMERSNever, ever, ever, do this.
>>750285102I have no idea what homeworld even is but I have seen this scene many times and the secondhand embarrassment is almost too much. They really thought they were cooking.
>EA remaining silent despite all the negative attentionConcerning behavior to say the least senpai.
>>750272356>Videgames are very expensive to makeThey don't have to be.
>>750274927They didn't give Ultima back, it returned to him by law.
>>750267431>I may be delusionalmay?
>>750267431If half as many people bitching on twitter actually bought the last couple Bioware games the company wouldn't have been closed. Its ridiculous how many people act like they support something but only when their support is simply being a bitch about it on the internet.
>>750267431Now show all the posts saying "Rest in piss." EA knows they made the right call.
>>750284837John Riccitiello has a reputation of being the worst CEO in gaming.ironically bobby kotick (ceo of Activision at the time) said that he would pay to have John remain at EA, just because of how notoriously bad he was.ironically Bobby is also seen as a bad CEO.Bing Gordon, on the other hand, was part of the golden age of EA. He came from a designer background (worked on the sims, need for speed, command and conquer, sim city, john madden football, etc). He actually understood gaming. Receieved a gaming industry award (only offered out to a short list: Ken Kutaragi - creator of playstation - and Howard Lincon - involved with nintendo of america and reviving the gaming industry in the 80's) And was someone Kotick feared as a competitor.
>>750267561this has been true for over a quarter centuary
>>750275328Your fantasy world has a left wing bias. Reality is right wing, which is why you retards try so hard to hide from it and change it.
>>750286735oh also bing gordon was prospected to be owner of EA before he left for Amazon pastures.
>>750285405they've said like two sentences buried in the middle of the press release like "btw bioware is closed now"
>>750267431Bioware fans have the memory of gold fish. The only remember ME2 and DA Origins, but completely ignore everything else:Anthem, Andromeda, DA2, Veilguard, Sonic ChroniclesThey made like 3 good games (ME1, ME2, Origins) but everything else fucking sucks. EA does not deserve this much blowback for shutting down such a painfully mediocre studio.
>>750269552I am continuously astounded that in so short a time TikTok has managed to breed a species of human capable of creating the most deeply irritating facial expressions I have ever fucking seen.
>>750287453Tiktok is for actual subhumans and I wish trump didn’t cuck out on banning it
>>750269795Nepotism gets your foot in the door, but keeping this kind of job for any amount of time relies on being able to consistently and effortlessly perform the corporate social ritual of communication and ass-kissing. You need to talk, think, and behave in a way so unnatural and so plastic that anyone clinging to their humanity washes out fast. If you've ever worked in retail and experienced the artificial way you need to act around customers, it's like that, but intensified by corporate ambition and wrapped in complex Business Major jargon. And it is fucking constant. At least in retail you can drop the act in the break room and commiserate with your fellow wageslaves, but in the white collar world you can never let the mask slip.I am not exaggerating when I say it's the most dehumanizing environment you can voluntarily exist in, and you should never trust a person that can thrive there.
>>750287223BioWare was going to shut down eventually regardless of how much more of EA’s money they were going to waste. Private equity is also killing gaming in general and any Saudi influence should be repulsive.
>>750267431Who cares. Close down the corrupt studio and send them packing. If they're so good those little splinter studios will succeed, right?
>>750285253A very cool game if you are into RTS in SPACE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTKakINXjl8
>>750267505Holy truthnuke. Based Carl.
>>750267431>this much blowback lolThis 'thing' should leave Twitter and confront reality.
>>750270050
>>750268763What episode of south park is that?
>>750267561nigga, bioware has not made a good video game in almost 20 yearstheir last three games were:>veilguard>anthem>andromedaif this isn't meant to be the death of their studio, what would it take for you to accept that the people who made neverwinter and ME1 are long, long gone?
>>750267431>nothing but flops and failures for over a decade>EA, ANSWER ME!!!!!Are these people retarded?
>>750267431>"this much" blowbackwhere exactly?? few malding wokoids on xitter and dditz?
>>750286735and the reason why John Riccitiello has such a notorious image in gaming is because of his background.He came from a marketing history outside of the industry. He was involved in selling Clorox, part of Pepsi as a marketing director, Haagen Daz ice cream, a golf sporting goods company, and Sara Lee.All of these products are part of a marketting strategy he was involved in that treats the customer as simply a given.They are fast moving consumer goods. Products where you sell the same thing repeatedly to the same customers.He took that mental model and tried to apply it to gaming.So if you treat the customer as a given (i.e. the customer really doesn't matter) then it becomes about optimizing that revenue.So essentially he treated the customer not as a creative decision-maker, but as a revenue stream to be optimized.Hence his nortorious background among the gaming industry (microtransactions, nickel-and-diming the customer, selling vague "improvements" to products year-by-year (i.e. sportsball games), etc.)So ironically he has the same mentality that the current activists in the industry has.
>>750267431Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard. EA gave them plenty of chances but you'll still have twitter retards trying to shift the blame. Then you have double retards going but it's EA who blablabla.RETARDO, you really think that if EA was micromanaging things they would have let all the non binary veilguard stuff intact? You think they would have let Dice fumble 3 battlefields in a row while recruiting lead devs whose sole experience was graduating in cultural marxism from some Swedish university?Get the fuck outta here.
>>750269795Nepotism & box ticking mainly. That's why so many devs are trannies, niggers or just plain ol' faggots now.
>>750290273But worse than all of them combined. A woman
>the response from the lizards:
>>750290605underrated post
>>750290542Women have no place in gaming outside of community staff. The really spergy ones can be devs, but ONLY those.
>>750277883lmao anon, why can I hear it so well
>>750283576Well they probably should. Only reason i'm hesitant is because I don't think they are gonna bother selling off their old ip.
>>750267505This, I am surprised people forgot all of the EA memes
>>750291328>forgot They didn't "forget". Most of the people here now are browns and zoomers, they weren't here when everyone was dunking on EA.
>>750268735both statements are wrong.bioware is shutting down because the overall quality of their games have continued to drop thus acquiring less sales. You could completely remove muh woke elements from every recent bioware game and they wouldn't be any better.
>>750291881The quality of their games is worse in part because the writing is worse. 'Woke' has directly contributed to that; no one wants to play a high fantasy game where random california identity pol bullshit is just shoveled in there for no discernible reason.
>>750287223No... not Sonic Chronicles...
>>750269795HAVE A PUSSYThat's it!
>>750267431Bioware was killed because Alberta failed the vote to separate from Canada. The Saudi's were promised by separatists, basically zero taxes and near endless state funding for EA and Biowares continued production of culture destroying propaganda.
>zoomers are just now learning how scummy EA truly isthey had many more talented studios under their umbrella and never did they think twice to throw them under the bus the second they saw fit, fuck EA, i hope the saudis rape their sorry jew asses
>>750296162EA doesn't really ever do anything wrong, they just keep buying studios after those studios have peaked. Westwood, Origin, Pandemic and Bullfrog were already out of ideas and talent by the time they were bought.
>>750296053I read all of this in JC's voice.
>>750267431Isn't it crazy that EA is the good guy in this entire ordeal? imagine how rotten you have to be to make EA looks good when their CEO is literally a bond supervillain.
>>750296053That's terror.
>>750267505No they weren't, retard.
>>750268763I want these LGBT freaks out of my hobby, like right now!
>>750277637Jews, anon, the answer is always Jews.
>>750284837EA makes 5 billy (roughly 75% of their total revenue) from live service games. Fifa, NFL games, Apex Legends, The Sims 4, and Battlefield (to a smaller extent)It is currently head by Andrew Wilson (previous owner was John).He was hired because he was the head of their sports division when it was racking in the doe (still is).Andrew himself comes from outside of the gaming industry. He had commercial success before joining EA, and was a rugby/surfer in Australia.EA has exclusive IP rights to produce NFL games, so there is no meaningful alternative. Nobody wants to buy sportsball games that are not involved with the league.Funnily enough EA wanted non-exclusive rights, but the sportsball owners didn't agree to that.But also, EA was against the "stop killing games" movement - likely because of IP protections.
>>750277803It would've been shit, anon, one of the main writers on the project was a middle-aged white woman deep into the woke cult.
>>750296162Out of every company they've shut down, Bioware is the one deserved it the most and one who EA is not to blame. They gave them chance after chance and Bioware delivered 3 straight flops and 16 years of a game with no widespread acclaim.
>>750278332Leftists only ever pretended to hate corpos, in reality they would love nothing more than to be able to promote their degenerate ideology with the full support of wealthy benefactors. They are unironically hoping the Canadian government will bail them out so they can become full-time parasites and subsist on tax payer money forever.
>>750267431>Warrants a responseYeah they'll close another studio.
>>750268735Leftists expect me to hate ai for being soulless, and then in the next breath go off and make a short form green screen video with flashing subtitles like some kind of robot assembly line, then call themselves "content creators" unironically
>>750267431They only care about money, in their mind it was "if you loved this franchise so much, why did you not buy the games?" regardless of quality
Bluesky faggots don't realize that EA will simply sit on the Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchise foreverThey will never sell it, lease it
>>750297818This. Bioware has literally not made a good game in like 15 years
>>750267561things were better when games catered to gay jocks
>>750267431>blowbackAre they mistaking the cheers in the streets for disagreement?
Bioware fans will blame everything except the problem in front of their faces which was Bioware itself. If they were making BG3 quality games they'd still be alive but they weren't capable of that anymore.
>>750275378That's because of Claude, has nothing to do with the physical drama, the physical fags just claimed it as their own win.Meanwhile they didn't eve notice the "Playstation Network Blackout" boycott.
People don't like Bioware shuttng down because they have so many good IPs and forget that Bioware was systematically going through and doing cartel executions on each and every one of them.
>>750298469No, you don't understand. Mass Effect 4 was going to be a Return to Form™! What could have been....With Bioware dead, all I've got to look forward to now is The Elder Scrolls VI. After the absolute disasters that were Fallout 76 and Starfield, I just KNOW Bethesda is going to knock it out of the park with the GOTYAY!
>>750277175Holy shit, didn't realize PalWorld sold that much.
>>750267431>this much blowback
>>750277803>I will admit that ME4 trailer look kind of kinoYou need to go back, retard.
>>750298118Some webcomic artist should draw Kane and Chris Blair welcoming new roommates
>>750269795Companies are more or less required to hire women and lord knows they're not trusted to do anything important so we get this
>>750268763How did this happen?
>>750298118What can you even do with these franchises except a reboot? Bioware raped them to death
>>750296901evil + rational > evil + irrational
>>750271650Social media is like crack cocaine for boomers. Even if they aren't posting on it, they're on facebook all day. The only real exception would be banking execs, which just don't post on public platforms because they feel the need to culturally separate themselves from the rest of the world. There's still numerous private platforms they use.
if they cared so much why didn't they buy the games
>>750273847>Woke morons are gunna woke at any and all cost.all the people being let go are immediately going to be given jobs at other studios, they're not going anywhere>>750274210well the reason is because they released a shitty garbage wokefest that not even leftoids wanted to buy which resulted in poor sales, but they wont make that connection and just say it's because chuddies are too racist and transphobic to buy the game.
>>750276724ill in the 80's sense, I dig it
>>750268735And the reason the weren't making money is...?
>>750286809you people want the world to be happy and perfect for everybody. that will never happen, ever. the world will never be homogenous, and because of that, we will constantly fight over land and resources because nobody wants to share their home with people who don't look or act like them, especially when those people are large violent browns who just want to take and don't want to contribute.that's the reason why people immigrate. they don't care about making their new home a better place, they just want to siphon what they did not earn.
>>750298469I mean EA still owns the IPs don't they? They can just give it to another company they own. The problem with these long running series is that they eventually start being made by fans instead of people who know what they're doing.
>>750301738Yeah. Maybe they should give it to someone that hates the IP, like they did with Gears of War and Halo. Or Kathleen Kennedy.
>>750278497I was so hyped by this trailer too. It could have been their Reach but oh well
Both the devs and EA are at fault, EA approves the woketards' garbage and the woketards make shit games. Is there a big blowback? I thought most fans of old BW games had to move on since they're clearly not the same company for a long time, and they have ditched RPGs and moved to more action games so well they were chasing the action audience, except they NEVER had success at delivering amazing action in games, amazing combat systems for example wasn't their forte. Also nobody was buying their games anyway
>>750267431I'm sure the Saudis give a ahit.
>>750267431>I've never seen this much blowbackFirst of all, you're a fucking liar, this doesn't even compare to 1% of the blowback they got for shit like Simcity 2013, second we can see the ratios, there were far more people grave dancing on Bioware then there were people outraged a shitty zombie studio was finally shut down after over 15 years of making nothing but bullshit that only ever served to embarass EA. Most normal people who're actually into video games are all in agreement, they fucking deserved this.
>>750267561whoah that so...tame ? not very evil
>>750267561This would honestly be based, then I'd see "new release from EA" and wouldn't even have the slightest inclination to look at it. Despite my hatred they have some studios and IPs I ocasionally find interesting, if it was all sports they'd just be a writeoff.
>>750267505>>750267431man i can't believe we live in a world today where you would prefer old-school corpos to just be money eaters
>>750268763>Ai>60 fps for a cartoon>Family guy cut awayC'mon,Grokkie
>>750302502We've seen the alternative, which is for corpos to try and enforce shitty social values instead.
>>750302710It's funny. I'm not a hateful bigot because I'm simply ignorant, I'm a hateful bigot because I know far too much about other cultures.
