That’s kind of an upgrade, at this point.

Bioware has essentially existed to pander to a very small minority for the past decade. I don’t think they’re capable of making a good game anymore, but at least they won’t get any support from anyone for their mediocrity.

SereneSadie,

BioWare created the first canonically gay character in Star Wars.

Take your bigoted shit out.

dubyakay,

canon

Doubt.

So you’ll continue being a money sucking ghoul who infects my hobby with more and more micro transactions for things that should have been shipped with the game in the first place?

Phew, I was worried there for a sec I might have to credit SA or a fucking Kushner for fixing one of the shittiest publishers in gaming, nice to know they can remain on “pirate if it looks good” list.

What a bunch of losers. Battlefield 6 will definitely be my last EA game

Desert Strike was my last.

This is what I just saw on my thread:

Who need satire at this point?

Ah, I’m so relieved. For a second I thought they were going to stop being absolute dog shit.

Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.

Well, that’s quite the bold-faced lie.

My 11+ year old boycott of EA is looking smarter & smarter every day.

“I mean, they can’t get any worse, right?”

Spoiler alert: They can.

Don’t buy anything from EA, ever again.

Their bottom line of money making remains unchanged. Now, Kushner and the Saudi Royal Family will also be involved… and this is a mess waiting to happen.

Absolute BS from Wilson here.

It’s EA. They could make gay stuff in games without them. But instead they make a deal with the devil and hope they come out on top? They want all the resources of a soulless giant but then they think they’re somehow escaping the taint?

It’s like musicians making deals that (unfairly, almost amorally) guarantee their songs play across the country… but then they think they’re still a normal artist.

Thanks for the representation I guess. Even though we had to collectively pay to make ME a popular franchise. I’m sure it was all about being true to your morals.

TheSambassador,

I mean, it’s EA. They’ve been in full on corporate profit mode forever, and any good games that they’ve put out are in spite of that. I doubt that there are a ton of “artists trying to make art” left at the decision making level of EA.

mostlikelyaperson,

Yeah a lot of the comments I have seen are outright bizarre, EA won’t change in any noticeable form. It’s maximum profit extraction now and it will remain maximum profit extraction after.

mhague, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.

After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!

inclementimmigrant,

More like: Damn, there’s another level of hell?

EncryptKeeper,

Well there was just some base level of hope in the back of some people’s minds that one day they might get their shit together and now that hope is entirely gone.

Duamerthrax,

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.

rustyfish, do games w Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

I actually had a sliver of hope for Mass Effect, you know? It’s all gone now.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

The team behind the only good Mass Effect game was disbanded almost immediately after its release. I had no hope for the new one.

goferking0,

I had small hope for Andromeda but then they put so much behind either future dlc or sequels and canceled it completely.

EncryptKeeper,

Fret not, anything they aren’t going to actively milk will likely be sold off to try and pay back the $20 billion dollar loan they took to make this purchase.

Entertainmeonly,

As far as i understand this deal. No property will be sold. EA will be on the hook for the 20b just like ToysRus. EA is getting nuked and a new name and face but the ip is not going anywhere.

NoodlePoint,

They’ll just sit on some of those titles that were never developed any further. Like Command and Conquer.

slaneesh_is_right,

Nah A.I will fix it.

Mediocre_Bard, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

Well, okay then. I doubt that I have any EA games on my roster, but I’ll go through and give it a diligent scrubbing, just to be on the safe side.

SaharaMaleikuhm, do games w Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

I honestly hope they just cancel the next Mass Effect. There is a 0% chance it’s not gonna be shit.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Sell the IP.

tatann,

Telltale (a decade ago) could have made a great story-focused game in the ME universe, Bioware didn’t even need to sell the IP for that

Vespair,

I will never understand the hype for Telltale. Wildly overrated, and they’re bullshit for calling their visual novels “adventure games.”

tatann,

Some people like mindless FPS à la CoD, others like narrative games, others puking blood playing souls-like games

Vespair,

I like visual novels well enough, I just think there’s a lot disingenuous about the presentation and marketing of Telltale’s products as anything but visual novels b
