"Growing up, we were taught that the Fire Nation was the greatest civilization in history. And somehow, the War was our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world. What an amazing lie that was. The people of the world are terrified by the Fire Nation. They don't see our greatness. They hate us! And we deserve it! We've created an era of fear in the world. And if we don't want the world to destroy itself, we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness."

"BioWare was repeatedly forced to abandon its strengths (narrative choice, consequences, companions) to chase unprofitable live-service and multiplayer trends, wasting significant resources."
That one especially pisses me off
EA employees are speaking out about mismanagement, GenAI push and BioWare’s closure🚀
✅Employees report that the "do less, better" mantra has simply resulted in handling the same workload with fewer staff.
✅Upper management is heavily promoting generative AI (specifically Claude), telling staff that adoption is mandatory for the future.
✅Workers believe the technology is being pushed to test how drastically EA can cut headcount while maintaining output.
BioWare’s Decline & Closure
✅BioWare was repeatedly forced to abandon its strengths (narrative choice, consequences, companions) to chase unprofitable live-service and multiplayer trends, wasting significant resources.
✅Studio leadership grew overly reliant on user experience research (UXR) and fear-driven decision-making, stifling creative risk-taking before the studio's closure.

Disappointed, but definitely not surprised. So much of what’s said reflects very much how many of us felt, as it was quite obvious for the last 10-15 years.
Risk-averse development, “do less” mentality, cost-cutting..etc.
I feel really bad for the studios and talents that had to be suffocated under EA’s mentality. It’s obvious what kind of people they were ever since they tried to gaslight gamers into thinking single player gaming to be dead.

BioWare Was Asked to Remove LGBTQ Flag from Canceled Mass Effect Game, Report Says polygon.com/mass-effect-univ…
ALT BioWare Was Asked to Remove LGBTQ Flag from Canceled Mass Effect Game, Report Says
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Polygon headline claims BioWare "was asked to remove LGBTQ flag," but BFM journalist clarifies devs proactively removed a flag resembling (not the actual) Pride flag from a demo to anticipate feedback, not to hide elements.

Sad he couldn’t have seen the release but at least it’ll be seen
Another Looney Tunes film has been saved: BYE BYE BUNNY.
It will be Eric Bauza’s final film, as he tragically passed away today.
For years, he had fought for COYOTE VS. ACME and BYE BYE BUNNY to see the light of day and he managed to fulfill his dream before he was gone.

Look what you did you idiots, you even got IGN saying something correct.
EA's complete misunderstanding of BioWare's RPG heritage and a desire for mass market, microtransaction-fuelled action games has robbed us of one of the industry's greats. bit.ly/4skXwy5

repeat after me.
'woke' did not kill Bioware.
'woke' did not kill Bioware.
'woke' did not kill Bioware.

If you think 'woke killed Bioware', I'm assuming you played every one of their games with your head up your ass and ignored the morals.

In the past, when EA got to the “gutting and devouring beloved devs” stage of their acquisition cycle, gamers across the internet would decry corporate greed.
Now you get a bunch of larper turds saying “serves em right for DEI” or “what, do you expect EA to just lose money?”

People saying Bioware was woke because of a segment where you get "lectured" on pronouns, like Mass Effect 2/3 don't have that shit too
-EDI says she doesn't care about Joker using "she/her" despite Shepard bringing it up
-Legion specifically asks to be referred to as "they" because they don't consider themselves an individual
larping mfs whining about something they've never played, these games came out 14-16 YEARS AGO and it's nothing new.😭
