After yesterday's announcement that the BioDocs left the sinking ship retired from BioWare to pursue other interests (beer etc.) General Manager Aaryn Flynn made a blog-post explaining that BioWare still thrives and prospers.

Love of games, respect for the players, teamwork and integrity – those are the hallmarks of a culture built by Ray and Greg. It started in their hearts and minds, ran through their daily actions, and resonated deeply in the people that joined them in their remarkable journey. And now with their retirement, the creative teams at BioWare Edmonton & Montreal are ready to carry on that legacy:

• DRAGON AGE 3: Inquisition – Yesterday, we announced that BioWare is now developing the next chapter of the Dragon Age series. Executive Producer Mark Darrah and our teams have been meeting with fans about what they want in a new Dragon Age game. I love spending time with the Dragon Age team as they work on Inquisition. The thought-provoking discussions, the fun, and most of all, the discovery of what’s possible on a new engine is both exhilarating and humbling.

• MASS EFFECT – Executive Producer Casey Hudson and his team are coming off an amazing eight-year run with the Mass Effect trilogy. But they’re not done yet. We are releasing more multiplayer content and we have more single-player stories coming throughout the next six months, including Omega which is coming in the Fall. But the Mass Effect universe is vast, and Casey and our teams have plans for another full game. “Where to go next?” with such a project has been a question a lot of us have been asking, and we’d all love to hear your ideas.

• BRAND NEW GAMES FROM BIOWARE – Both Dragon Age and Mass Effect started as single games but grew into vast universes. But we aren’t stopping there. While Casey continues to oversee the development of our new Mass Effect project, he and his leads are putting together their vision for an all new game set in a fictional universe, built from the bottom-up with all new gaming technology.

May Flynnsanity be with him!

 

[Outlander]

What kind of fucking name is Aaryn anyway? Sounds like a faggot.

 

[Angthoron]

Aryan Flynn.

It's an anagram.

He needs to swap his first and last names around. Mr Flynn Aaryn could be an alcoholic detective from a noir film, or the guy from 'Under a Killing Moon'. Would suit his twitter feed.

Yup, prospers so much it's shedding crucial employees like there is no tomorrow. It was way too prosperous for them, I guess.

 

[l3loodAngel]

Fuck that loser.

He is not a loser. He just shows corporate values in America and what you need to do to get to the top, because there were other people to choose from. Like people who have passion for games, quality, love their fans and are competent. Flynn is neither...

 

[Angthoron]

You don't want people with passion in your faceless moneymaking schemes.

 

[CrustyBot]

Fuck that loser.

 

[Average Manatee]

You're all just jealous that he has a vagina and works on video games.

Heh, every new series Bioware has tried to make since they were bought by EA has been canceled because production ramps up on either DA or ME and they need more people on them, so they end up pulling them from the other teams, scuttling said projects before they can gain enough inertia. Though I suppose the eve of a new console generation is the best opportunity to succeed at such a thing.

 

[Infinitron]

Anybody who's more creative than me want to make a Bio version of this?

 

[godsend1989]

Release Mirror`s Edge 2 fucking cunts, i bet they better make few more DLC`s for ME or DA then continue that game.

 

[SuicideBunny]

General Fucking Manager.

he's right though. those guys are fucking morons. you have to be a moron to believe that bioware would amount to anything more than it does now if only it would get rid of flynn and hepler.

 

[Angthoron]

I gotta say, though, there's got to be something seriously fucking wrong with you if you're an exec in (apparently?) fourties and your responses can be summed up by "Fuck you". All jokes and stereotypes aside - that's a good show of being unprofessional as fuck.

I'm glad BioWare is in good hands!

 

[circ]

THANK GOD! NEVER LEAVE ME BIOWARE. NEVAR.

General Fucking Manager.

This looks more like he would had been too drunken to not realise he is not posting to rpgcodex :D

Not enough roofles.

I'm very glad they are gone. It's like a final stake through the corpse. The Dragon Age / Mass Effect franchise will continue on forever as EA games, which they were already indistinguishable from. This is what happens when money is your only value. The name Bioware doesn't really mean anything any more. Just a brand that EA purchased.

 

[Angthoron]

This is EA sir,
I thank you for calling, how are you,
I'm sorry, I am just an Indian
BioWare Studios?
They do what they must
Because they can -
For the good of all of us
(Who have a job at EA)

But there's no sense crying over the shit we make
Take a look at Casey, he's got fat from cupcakes
And the game's robbed of fun,
But the gamers are dumb
They'll preorder our next gay romance

We're just making money
We're just being sincere right now
Even though you're whining
On our forums
And sending us cupcakes
And being evil trolls across that line
As you troll we're glad we fleeced you!

Now this chain of bannings makes a beautiful Rhine
And we're forced out of beta, you'll be Jedi online!
And our profit has turned
Think of all new jets boss's earned,
From you retards that buy gay romance.

Don't try to leave us!
We'll torture your twi'lek on a rack
(Not unless you come on back to help her)
Look, Greg and Ray're gone!
They're gonna enjoy their lives,
You rubes.
Anyway, this cash's great,
It's so low-effort it's free!
Look at me still talking,
When there's sales pitch to do
When I look at our outline, I'm glad I'm not you
We've got tech support to run
There's modding to be done
For the people that are plain dumb
We'll sell you stories that make you dumb
You will be buying them cause you're dumb
And all the characters there are quite dumb
It's like our writers all took a dump
And you'll be playing this, you are dumb.
And when you're dying, you'll still be dumb.
Still be dumb!
Still be dumb.
