EA really is such a parasitic company and one of the most emblematic of capitalism I’ve ever seen. Everything from it’s constant need for acquisition to it’s septic figureheads who look like literal Mafia bosses with slicked back hair, a company that just seems procedurally generated from the capitalist algo
“competition fosters diversity”
the diversity:
An old lie to push for deregulation.
You see, EA wants to beat google’s record for number of softwares/projects killed
Please don’t kill SWTOR 😫🙏
TOR killed single-player kotors and pulled Karpyshyn off of mass effect 3 which was a disaster for that series too so you won’t catch me crying
RIP. Maxis, Westwood, and now this.
On one hand I’m sad that a good team with some good games under them is closing down. On the other hand I’m glad that the BioWare team isn’t going to be making games for the Saudis so hopefully someone decent picks up the team and the IPs in future.
I don’t think that’s sort of wishful thinking applies here.
IPs
i’m going to assume they do the classic EA thing of yesteryear and just keep the IP so no one can use it
the saudis and kushner need to make their money back so an IP firesale is in the cards
Well, at this point BioWare was just a brand and who knows, maybe they saved us from the next bad Mass Effect.
Another one bytes the dust.
More thankful than ever these days for Owlcat, who has largely been BioWare as I remember them for a decade now.
