ill never forgive EA for destroying westwood studios and maxis,

FUCK EA

Time to rename EA to Saudi TM Gaming

Lmao I like how everyone was saying this was going to happen like a year ago. So predictable.

EA has bought so many good game studios and forced them to make shitty games and then closed those studios because the shit games that they forced them to make didn't turn a profit, i played Red Alert 2 so much and had so much fun and knowing we'll never get anything like that again makes me want to launch all these life sucking corporate ghouls into the void.

I'd love to see Microsoft buy EA, then close it

Neverwinter Nights. Dragon Age Origins. Mass Effect. Knights of the Old Republic. It may all be considered unc slop now but man Bioware at its peak was some good times in gaming.

I’m guessing those new owners don’t appreciate stories where gay characters are treated with respect.

This meme was a prophecy.

Good lord everything EA touches turns to shit. Mass Effect is one of my all time favorite series and I credit it with breaking me out of just playing JRPGs. I was really looking forward to the next entry in the series, but the trilogy (there is no Andromeda in Ba Sing Se) will always be in my top games of all time and has enough of a conclusion to leave me satisfied

Bioware has been dead to me since they got bought by EA anyway. All this means is that if they ever made a Jade Empire 2, it's gonna be bland and stupid.

oh no… what a surprise… ea shuts down a studio they aquired…

We'll build our own BioWare! With blackjack! And hookers!

good. It died years ago, should have killed the walking corpse way earlier.

Bioware was already rotting in the mass grave where formerly successful studios they bought spend their last days being milked of any remaining collective goodwill in the gaming zeitgeist before being summarily executed.

This was just them posting the obituary we all knew was coming.

I suspected this would happen after the Saudi take-over. I haven't played Veilguard, but i did see something about a non-binary character. I'd be very surprised if the saudi's funded something progressive like that, even if it was poorly executed from what i've seen.

Edit: Called it.

My theory is that EA is actually secretly ran by Hollywood in a bid to get people back to watching movies and TV.

Aw man. Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect, and OG Dragon Age saw me through some of my formative gaming years and it’s been a shame to watch since. I didn’t even bother with Veilguard.

Larian is our big shining hope for this kind of game now, it seems.

Thank God. I was worried a Saudi Kushner Mass Effect would create some kind of paradoxal tear in reality, like the damn pocket universe in Superman.

Man, I remember being so fuckin stoked for the original release of Nevereinter Nights. You will be missed.

On one hand, hundreds of people without a job, but on the other hand, seeing one of the many companies I boycott on ethical principle bleeding money bolsters my resolve
