It doesn’t matter what EA does because no one should buy EA games anyways.
They were already a shitty company before the Saudis bought them, if anyone is still dumb enough to buy their games, they deserve the slop they get.
This is kind of interesting: With BioWare being a Canadian company, the leader of the federal NDP, Avi Lewis, tooted his view on the shut down. Mostly to say private equity sucks, but also:
The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves.
I don’t know what was involved when Microsoft let Double Fine go independent instead of closing it, but it would be nice if BioWare got the same option from EA (even if EA probably wouldn’t let them have Mass Effect and Dragon Age).
Avi is such a fucking breath of fresh air
I really hope he gets enough exposure
That’s a terrible plan, bioware has been nothing but a failure machine for over a decade
The video game industry is heading for a crash. I can feel it.
AGAIN?!
Haha, didn’t you hear? Time is circle.
It’s more so that crashing a market helps consolidate ownership so it’s advantageous to do it if you have capital.
Shame we won’t have any defining game that will be buried in a landfill this time around.
This is why they’re killing physical games, so that we can’t even do it ourselves symbolically
You recalled me about Bullfrog. They killed it. Bastards!
Maxis and Westwood for me.
