Whoops.

Good...

Uh huh, my face is tired.

No, no.

Andromeda was a spin-off which I refuse to view as a sequel.

Mass Effect 4 it is.

RIP BOZOS LMAO

I thought the old guard had already left to create a new studio (Archetype Entertainment) and make the spiritual successor called Exodus.

Good, I waited over 10 years to play this game, been a fan since dragon age origins, First time I saw the video with the surgery scars, I was out.

I don't understand why they thought a lgbt game would sell? You taking your old fan based kicking them to curb, to replace them with a smaller pool of people?

I am sorry, I am not one of these culture warriors that doesn't want diversity in games. With that being said, EA didn't want Dragon Age to survive. Dragon Age needed a better team.

The head of team worked on the sims. The head didn't care what the game series was only what they wanted it to be. What they created was a Disneyesque story and aesthetic in their image. Writing isn't about you it is about the characters you create and their ability to portray the story.

Dragon Age Veilguard is a cautionary tale to all disenfranchised creators. Don't let fanciful wants replace respectable writing. The head of the team forgot which world they were writing about, and ended up alienating everyone.

It's sad her team will have to pay the price while she failed up.

Shame, it feels like they know EA had put their livehood on this game's success, and that is fair game. When the sales failed, EA simply downsized the company, move people across projects, when the positions are filled, the rest goes to the chopping block.

As much as I dislike EA, EA gave Bioware far more time than any other company would have simply based off old successes. Andromeda alone would have been enough to get the company torn apart by others, never mind Anthem.

Veilguard was just the last straw to a chain of failures since Inquisition and ME3. I.. don't think Bioware will survive even in name if the ME game doesn't end up being a massive success. They "restructured" Bioware towards the game while shifting almost all employees elsewhere. The implication is that Bioware has a small team making ME and everybody else is either gone or on the way out.

Also this point

Given this stage of development, we don’t require support from the full studio. We have incredible talent here at BioWare, and so we have worked diligently over the past few months to match many of our colleagues with other teams at EA that had open roles that were a strong fit.

So while it wasn't made public until now, Bioware knew this was coming for months. Well, we all guessed that director resigning for "better opportunities" was talking nonsense, but now we can say for certain it was standard corpo speak because they'd have known for months that they were about to be pushed out one way or another.

unless drew karpyshyn is going to write the game, forget it

Make a great mainstream ME4. Cutting edge graphics, involving gameplay minus the whiff of contemporary political posturing and this will make an absolute fortune.
Lots of folk hungry for a good honest space adventure out there.

Good riddance.
