BIOWARE DIED as a companybecause they were LITERALLY more concerned about telling everybody what they like to do with their gentialsinstead of making good games.PROVE ME WRONG
>>750745890I think the writers from that company (especially the trannies) were mentally ill, and therefore they couldn't write characters and dialogue that resonate with people
The reason why they died was because they only made 1 game every 10 years and that game was extremely unremarkable.
as a trans person I find their writing trite and offensive because its a cis californian woman's idea of what beeing queer is like filtered through 40 year old ex-men who just got on HRT last thursday.it doesnt reflect how real people act at all
>>750745890>I was promised this proof 3000 years ago
Bioware died because the people in charge didn't know what they were doing and the push for live service drove away the real talent leaving behind the bottom of the barrel.
It turns out the Saudis and Jared Kushner are the ones who pushed so heavily for the non-binary coming out plotline.

>>750745890They were dead long before that. Mass Effect 2 was proof that it was over, we just didn't know it yet.
i still have no idea how they survived after anthem
>>750747654Is Asmongold mad that Odyssey is the highest rated film of all time?
>>750747867They didn't. They were a zombie dev that got to wander for a decade before being put down.
>>750745890>Andromeda was a disaster>Anthem wasn't that bad, but was still considered a massive flopEven if Veilguard had impeccable writing I doubt it would have generated enough sales to warrant EA keeping the studio openThe game also had a weird art direction and the gameplay wasn't anything special
>>750747909imagine being enough of a gay retarded nigger to think movie/video game ratings mean literally anything after the year 2016~
>>750747973>Anthem wasn't that badAnthem sucked cock, and was a massive financial failure. Hold your small hat before it blows off, Schreier
>>750747909>has to cope with movies on a videogames boardAll more ironic that you still shit the bed
>zion takes over the gaming industry because they control the media that controls the unwashed masses>gaming having achieved a higher status amongst under-30s than television, music and film meant they HAD to take control>fund (with your tax dollars) the complete destruction of the gaming industry, using their good golems (trannies and femoids, both easily coerced into anything)>secretly buy up all the IPs>distract everyone with war (upcoming!)>after everything has settled, use acquired IPs and knowledge to control the gaming industry and gain an infallible stronghold over media again>have golem children sucking your dick for eternity (no island required)
>>750745890It died because Rey Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk left the company right after ME3 it didn't help that Drew Karpyshyn left the company too
>>750748034Saying a game is "Not that bad" is far from praising itHell, I bet a good chunk of people who played Veilguard would argue it's not that bad (outside of the writing)
>>750748228>didn't buy the games now>they'll buy the games later for sure thommhmm
>>750745890That helped in the last few years, but Inquisition/Andromeda weren't shit because of the woke elements; unlike Veilguard, it was barely in those games and hidden away in some random background sidequest NPC most people didn't notice. No, BioWare was killed because *all* their writing, regardless of pronoun stuff, went to shit post-2013 and never recovered.
Just started Veilguard about an hour ago. I recognize this table because of /v/. This is where the tranny is gonna force me to learn xer pronouns I think.
>>750748367>Hell, I bet a good chunk of people who played Veilguard would argue it's not that bad (outside of the writing)First of all, you'd have to be retarded to play Veilguard with being paid to, so why the fuck would the opinion of the people who did so hold any weight. Secondly reviews exist, and anybody with a brain can immediately identify that the game is a massive piece of shit in nearly every capacity. Writing, character models (who the fuck enabled big head mode?), dumbed down gameplay where you only control the MC, everything is awful.
>>750749164The game only feels like it sucks so hard because its direct comparison is literally GOTYI'd say it plays closer to a quickly forgotten old AA Xbox 360 game than it does to a complete trashfire
bioware was never goodyou cannot prove me wrong
>>750749048What was its major malfunction?
>also the doctor founders left in 2012 after ME3The children were only able to take over because all the adults already left. The problems started way before Veilguard.
>>750749968ben irving fucking sucked
>>750749620I'm playing it right now and agree. I don't care for the writing but the gameplay is fine. Feels like a Sony moviegame desu. Built for casuals and people who don't really like video games. A shame though since I'm not really the demo so I'll probably play longer but not finish. Honestly if they called this a Dragon Age spinoff and didn't make the story a sequel to Inquisition then I think it would have been received much better.
let's be real its not like mass effect had good writing either it was just carried by an otherwise mechanically competent action adventure game
>>750745890BioWare was killed by jews, absolutely nothing else. Anyone celebrating this is an anti-White niggerfaggot.
>>750747654gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
>>750750150>Honestly if they called this a Dragon Age spinoff and didn't make the story a sequel to Inquisition then I think it would have been received much better.No, if they hadn't filled it with shitty characters, shitty writing and retarded agenda bullshit it would have been received much better.Stop trying to change the narrative.
>>750750401jews killed a studio with trannies and women in it?based
>>750745890I can't
>>750745890they regressed as developers in a literal sensejust compare Dragon Age Origins to Inquisition
>>750745890They died because they spend over 15 years releasing exclusively shit gamesMost studios would die much faster than that
>>750750476I'm literally not you over-reactive sperg. I think the writing is dogshit too but if it was a spinoff then it'd be easier to say "oh they made a shitty woke game but at least it's not Dragon age 4" so people could have been at least hopeful for that. There's no hope with Veilguard as it is now. Of course there's also no hope now that Bioware is dead too.
>executives were retarded >HR got highjacked with troons and Karens who will search your social mediaas an excuse not to hire you>nepohires were incompetent faggots who was most likely carried by the few people who bend the knee or lose their jobsIt was a perfect shitstorm.
>>750745890Essentially the reason is that EA thought there would be a "Nerd Cave" meaning they had the sales of RPG fans "on lock" and no longer needed to appeal to them: they will buy it anyways.So they stopped doing so and in return tried to appeal to ever greater audience... first the action audience by turning Dragon Age increasingly into a Brawler and Mass Effect ever more into a simple cover based shooter (granted Mass Effect was where this started in the first place).Once they had that audience they trued to go for the mythical "female audience and that audience is very progressive, no?" not realizing that the female audience they wanted already sat in said "Nerd Cave" all along.Lo and behold, the reason the "nerds inside their nerd cave" loved BioWare games decayed... while at the same time new studios catering to their tastes emerged like Owlcat and Larian. So the fans that they thought they had on lock left and never looked back... and then also started to talk shit about BioWare leading to negative PR. So now their bedrock consumer base was just gone and the new audiences were never as loyal as they wanted to (especially since they saw how the previous core audience was just tossed away, you will notice that subconsciously).The reason I showed no interest in Veilguard was simply because it didn't resemble Dragon Age Origins at all... not in gameplay, tone, pacing, characters or even art style. The woke shit was basically just that disconnect condensed into one laughable aspect. But people would have hated it even without it. That Qunari character has nothing in common with the stoic almost robotic Sten.So the real lesson is: never abandon the audience that made you big. They are not as loyal as you think they are and you are the one owing loyalty to THEM.
Thread reeks of "dragon age/mass effect were my first rpgs :)))"
>>750747186As a person who loathes gender ideology cult bullshit, but not trans people in and of themselves, exactly what did you find trite and offensive in their games? Can you give specific examples because I am genuinely curious.
>>750747654BG3 didn't flop. I support your position on the poison of wokeness but that claim is not accurate to reality.
>>750745890Bioware died as a company because for an extended period of time they had devs who couldn't write good stories or make good gameplay.People will always put up with a bad story if the gameplay is goodPeople will most of the time put up with bad gameplay if the story is really good.Bioware hasn't had either for years.
>>750750746Post the sales report made by Larian officially in writing and I will remove it from the list of flops. Easy to do so if the game didn't flop.
>>750750678traashes journal entries that sound like a tumblr post and the whole dinnertime trans chat, rook having top surgery scars in a fantasy magic setting but also not looking a bit like a real trans man at all and is clearly just a male character model (facial structure is all wrong).the overtness of it all as if its all these people think about, which is kinda weird and out of character in-universe. awkward stilted lines as if, like I said, a cis white californian woman wrote it. it doesn't make me feel represented at all, its not how me or my friends speak about such things.I have a friend whose dad is a trans woman, he and his dad played it together and even they thought it was cringe.>phone autocorrects taash to trashlmfao leaving it
>>750745890I hate how bots online are seemingly defending EA here when this is yet another obvious blunder by them. >buy BioWare because they want their own WoW clone with TOR, it flops predictably>mandate multiplayer modes, microtransactions, and live service bullshit for all of their games, so much so that even ME3 campaign's endings were locked behind multiplayer and it shipped with day one DLC, even Dead Space was getting turned into a gay co-op shooter >greenlight Anthem and when it fails, blame it all on BioWare who were clearly just trying to make back the money you bought them to make, YOU fucking greenlighted it, you retarded fucks>in that time, give Mass Effect to BioWare Montreal, a studio YOU made in 2009, and force them to work on Frostbite, an engine made for Battlefield. >make the work environment so hostile that all of the original devs including the founders leave the company>force the next Dragon Age game to be a live service always-online game, then retool it into a singleplayer game shortly after, and then allow it to be retooled AGAINBlame BioWare for being woke as fuck all you want, but why were they allowed to be "woke" for what... 14 years or so? Because EA allowed them to be. EA pushed the old devs out and allowed recruiters to only hire based on politics. They didn't just disappear for 18 years and walk in on a room full of retards playing with jenga blocks.
>>750750921The fact that they haven't released the sales report does not mean that it flopped. By every other perceptible measure the game was a huge success. BG3 also isn't a woke game in the same way that these other failures are woke. For every woke element in BG3 (specifically the gender ideology cult bullshit in BG3 is the most egregious imo. And the lack of female body customization is pretty retarded) there is an anti-wokeness element to match. So it balances out a bit which makes the game more attractive overall because nobody likes woke garbage in their games. Not even the woke retards like it. They just pretend to like it for the moral performance but they never show up to make the purchase and play.
>>750745890What could've been. Such a shame.
>>750750921They are not a publicly traded company so they don't have to do a sales report. So you will never find one. Only companies on the open stock market have to do public sales reports.But a different company, Alinea Analytics, analyzed reports and based on that came to the conclusion that BG3 sold over 20 million units, matching the Larian CEO's claims with total revenue of $1.2 billion. (Elden Ring made abozt $2 billion for instance... Astro Bot made $291 million and Expedition 33 made $366 million)80.6% of copies sold are on Steam.It still has 30-45k concurrent players daily, leading to a grand total of between 280,000 - 400,000 unique players playing it at any point per day. The monthly active player count has never fallen below 2 million ever since release.https://alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/how-well-have-past-goty-winners-soldAt this point I feel like the one having to prove their claim is the one saying it flopped. Because you have multiple independent parties claiming it was a massive success and you have the steam player count to back it all up. So what is your evidence that it flopped?
How long until it goes offline?https://www.bioware.com
>>750751068Based phone running chudcorrect
>>750751068I see. The game is a kind of summation of the entire trans movement in and of itself. So it's going to be a complete fucking mess with zero authenticity or sincerity or accuracy. Or reason or logic.
>>750745890Sorry, sir, but you are factually 100% correct. Your statement is based in objective reality.
>>750747973Them spending over 9 years on Veilguard didn't help, but if it was a big hit that was dragged down by its long development time, all they would have to do is convince the moneybags that they would be quicker the next time.
>>750750656>reeee you have only been playing RPGs for 20 years Grow up, grandpa. You're acting like a 6-year-old.
>>750747954Under a publisher known for shuttering studios for mildly underperforming. Someone at bioware must be some sort of savant at sucking cock for them to have lingered this long.
>>750753942Then we'd have gotten a rushed game just like AndromedaIt really has been over for 10 years, people just didn't notice
>>750745890This will happen Rockstars after GTA6 release. Kek.
>>750745890Anthem and ME3 is what actually drove off all their good devs. It's natural that corporate seat-filler workers will waste time on frivolous shit because they can't make games and can't leave the company to work somewhere else the instant it gets lame.
>>750755793Rockstar is a different caseGTA online is what will decide their fate, that's why GTA6's pre-order also signs you up to their online+ subscription
>>750745890They died because they hadn't made a single good game in 14 years.
