BioWare needs to die, the faggots parading the bloated corpse around have none of the ingenuity, talent, or desire of the people who made the studio famous.
EA has killed better studios over less.
The guy that made Bioware household name left that company more than 10 years ago since then the company was just a husk of former.
There were still veterans going back to DA:O or even further back left? Thought the last of them got pushed out even before the Wu-Flu hit.
You mean a dead IP and one people can barely care about after the third game tried to be Tumblr the MMO?
Its almost sad they think that is a silver lining. No one cares about Mass Effect after Andromeda (and they can't remaster the trilogy again so soon), and DA hasn't had an unironic following since the original.
Oh no.
Anyway.
Go bankrupt already.
There was still a holdout from Dragon Age: Origins? Huh. Who was it? Mary Kirby? Hm, she wrote Sten and Loghain, some of the better characters from it. Though considering she was still around for DA2 and Inquisition, I can't tell if she was pulling double duty as a tard wrangler, or was one of the reasons they were both so bad.
This is just a formality, BioWare has been dead for sometime now. The company that used to turn out classic after classic has been slowly dying since 2012, when Mass Effect 3 crapped the bed (And no, it wasn’t just the ending. It was also the abandonment of RPG elements and terrible writing like transforming Cerberus from a shadowy syndicate working behind the scenes, into fucking COBRA from GI Joe.)
The only function BioWare served from 2012 on was giving demonstrable proof that writing and gameplay have been declining in western games. Go replay KOTOR or Dragon Age Origins right now and I think you’ll be stunned by how well the writing and gameplay hold up.
I just assumed they were already dead. How many employees does EA even need anymore? One to update the sports rosters, one to design the menus, and a diversity officer to make the cover?
act like it matters inquisition was trash trying to figure out how to be skyrim and then we got Andromeda end of statement
Another skinsuit biting the dust, most of the talent left that studio around ME3, just hear about the woeful development of andromeda to know that..
Then the release of that other game with the powersuits confirmed it, I remember the hype for it and how it would kill games like Warframe, after release I remember seeing a devstream of Warframe and they were just joking about how badly it did.
Bioware still exists? Don't lay off your staff! Fucking Die and close your doors forever faggots.
From the company that brought you "why when we walk into a room is it always cultists? Why isn't it ever an orgy?" we now bring you... The door! Don't let it hit you on the way out.
It been dead a long, long time folks
Let it give up the Ghost
