BioWare is the ultimate developer, I remember liking Inquisition, with mass effect they ran out of ideas.

 

[DenchDeckard]

The worst part is....all that's left in the industry is young kids coming up through the ranks dei out the mind....

So, it's not like they are going to hire Chris Avelone to make something dope!

[Lootlord]

That's unfortunate. Outside of Taash, the writing has been pretty good for vanguard. A few of the char stories have been really good.....

Nice try Mr. Queeromancer

its funny that people didnt even bother to pirate games like veilguard and suicide squad

Even thieves have standards.

This adult goes by the name "Trick". EA should be sued by every institutional investor in America for negligent breach of fiduciary duty for hiring something like this. One can only imagine the financial mental health burden hoisted upon society with this firing. I'd like to see EA clean up their own mess on this one and give Trick some COBRA insurance until a new job comes along (implying...). The good people of Edmonton shouldn't be on the hook for it.

This poor guy has probably seen and heard things that we cannot imagine. The fact he was able to work there for 5 days a week for so long does speak to his character though. Not necessarily in a positive way. Unless he's just one of those really friendly guys who's just an absolute door mat. He was probably tasked with fixing the spelling and grammatical errors that the trans writers produced. I imagine once you get in that hormone and benzo induced manic flow state there's not much time for proofreading. Ryan is just the janny tasked with cleaning it up.

Without looking for a picture bigger than this screenshotted thumbnail, I'm gonna go ahead and say with absolute confidence that this is a dude. Please note that the last name matches "Trick" posted above. Imagine the smell. Or don't. Honestly probably shouldn't.

 

[SJRB]

These idiots are largely responsible for their multi-million dollar product missing > 50% of their sales targets and still act shocked and surprised when they get fired.

This whole endeavor was a catastrophic waste of resources, what the hell did they think was going to happen? They could've seen this coming weeks ago. Months, even.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I’ve seen videos of the interactions between your party members and the writing seems like it belongs on Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. Like this shit:

Literally preschool level writing.

My take is that cancel culture even more than DEI is to blame for some the stupidest decisions in recent gaming. The sane minds were too cowardly to speak up even when they knew some really epic bad decisions were being made due to the loud and insane DEIs.

I think due to the truly catastrophic fails in entertainment (movies, TV shows and games), that finally the higher ups are squashing this BS. Otherwise, they also will be seeing the unemployment line.
TLDR, they FAFOd

I'm surprised that this hasn't happened yet but hope that someone opens fire at once. After so many failed investments, this is clearly negligence and top execs should be held accountable.

What gets me is what a complete and utter backfire this whole 'culture war' has been for these types.

Not only have they failed in shaping media the way they wanted to 'own the chuds', they have also made it so commercially poisonous that people will even think twice about any sort of representation which would have gone completely unnoticed or received no criticism previously.

It's an own goal of historic proportions.

[yogaflame]

You reap what you sow. Its almost like a punishment. Those indoctrination and force and push for woke agenda pertaining to twisted gender ideology and transgenderism has killed this game instead of focusing on good solid game play and quality. They deserved that, lesson learned.

Further proof these guys dont think. Have they forgotten about all the "male power fantasy" games that sparked their whole crusade?

Nothin but JACKED dudes

Also, how is "non cartoony" some kind of negative? Lol like I looved hi fi rush but that doesnt mean I hate crysis

I’m seriously losing track of them all. Just in the past year:
- Suicide Squad bombs
- Hundreds of thousands of gamers join the Sweet Baby Inc detected Steam group and avoid their games like the plague
- Flintlock bombs
- Zau bombs
- Dustborn bombs
- Concord becomes the biggest video game bomb in history
- Star Wars Outlaws bombs
- The Acolyte canceled after 1 season
- Alyssa Mercante laid off from Kotau and becomes a cam whore
- Unknown 9 Awakening bombs
- Assassins Creed Shadows delayed amid backlash
- Veilguard bombs
- Trump wins
- racist Avowed art director gets called out by Elon Musk


I feel like I’m missing a few there.

I love Indiana Jones and the great circle, but seeing the recent numbers, it could also have done a lot better. Not sure if it’s a factor, but you cant tell me the female side character was also designed to push an agenda…

META dropped its censhorship and DEI policies, that's huge. Because META controls 3-4 of the biggest social media out there, Facebook, Instagram, Thread and WhatsApp. And now just like in X, people can pushback against the woke mind virus

Dont forget all the big corporations publcly chopping DEI. Even if they sneakily rebrand it or partially keep doing it at head office, that's ok. Just announcing it publicly is a slap in the face of DEI.

Even fucking Mcdonalds announced it. You'd think they would be the biggest supporters ever from day one when their first fast food joint opened up 60 or 70 years ago serving cheap food asap, which then lead to requiring tons of workers selling burgers to anyone across the world. Even they said fuck it. lol

That game was squandered by this one single scene from the early trailers.

They also had the forbidden Baby company in their IMDB associate list, but later removed it.
Beyond that, I've heard it wasn't as bad as some later feminist trailer suggest. Perhaps they course corrected.
I'm waiting for a cheaper PC release to see for my self.

They never had any power. They are not the customer. The only way they would is if they had a monopoly on videogames. Good videogames to play are a dime a dozen. Any one of them can be easily ignored for some other game just as entertaining.

 

[mckmas8808]

Yeah I dunno. I think the vast majority normal people dress/act/present themselves in a way that clearly advertises their gender and they don’t want to have to explicitly tell others what gender they are. And they don’t want others to treat them like their gender is some complete mystery until they are told otherwise.

If you have some specific way that you want people to address you then fine. But I always thought it was totally nuts to make this like the default way that people are supposed to greet each other.

Me and you agree lol.

 

[Spukc]

The game 40% off right now in the PSN store.
I wouldn’t play that fucking garbage if they paid me 40 bucks.

 

[Wildebeest]

Reads exactly like the most a wall-eyed "anti woke" post with a simple word swap.

So full on WOKE effect to appease the wokies i'm guessing.

More bisexual lighting, more "own the chuds" and as much desexualised blob characters as the wokies can manage...

Only fat blob characters with no tits and no defined body features. Males still act like all the women are perfect goddesses though. Only 1 "male" gender for the wokies to slaughter.

And political re-education all the time. No entertainment allowed.

 

[Big Al]

The best of news. Now the freaks can play at home with dropping the soap.

You won't be missed.

 

[Edgelord79]

Meh… the developers just probably program what they are told so this sucks for them.

The creatives on this though, fire them all….

Good news. The rest will go after the shit show thats going to be Mass Effect 5.

I'm fairly far into one of the larger areas of the game and thankfully so far, there isn't really anything to be concerned about. Either there wasn't any agenda items inserted or good supervision went through and eliminated them. I'm fairly attuned for spotting that kind of BS and I think you'll find it free (or mostly free) of it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Shame to see people laid off time and time again, but there was no hope for the game for various reasons. I just hope that studios and developers learn from their mistakes and grow from them.

covid is still present in my country, i got my 2nd covid 3 months ago, it was awful.

Exactly. Health conditions also exist, you never know what a person is going through. So, if you see people wearing masks in the wild keep that in mind.
