Hot qunari waifu, was it so much to ask?

:negative:

Concept art versus reality, ofc she had to be manfaced.

Is AAA game developing the kind of scheme that was the main plot of The Producers? Because it's starting to look as if they're actually trying to create flops.

You thought the picture about esg/blackrock (although it's not really blackrock anymore, they did a rebranding or something) was just for fun? People are paid and indoctrinated to do it.

DEI = Didn't Earn It. Thanks to this, people are now conditioned to always assume that the queer/BIPOC are incompetent where ever they are.

It’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
AKA they try to hire a lot of people that aren’t male, straight, and/or white.

This shit is so far removed from the original concept of Dragon Age, they should be sued for peddling counterfeit goods. :smug:

There's a lot of reasons but one is that they're pursuing the elusive "modern audience," a mythical being that enjoys slop, shells out endless money and never complains as a long as [current fad] is satisfied.

And as long as games as mid as BG3 are hailed as "great successes," they will keep trying for this audience.

You guys want to see BioWare get absolutely bodied in the comments, in Twitter of all places?

No idea why the first few posts are positive, despite not being that well-liked or recent. Some paid shilling shit? I don't know Twitter.

Yeah, the first few replies are not that well liked, but are the ones the community manager interacts with, so I guess that pushes them to the top? They are getting absolutely roasted in the majority of the replies though, lol - "Bit late for an April Fool's post isn't it?"

I'm pretty sure if you dig a little it'll turn out to actually be true, no need for rumors.

Modern Bioware is one company that doesn't need Sweet Baby Inc to be woke

After departure of the veterans the company is essentially already chock full of very same people

Man that trailer is fucking awful lol it's so clear the development for this game went through like a dozen iterations. First trying to be God of War, then trying to be a live service thing, then Baldur's Gate 3 happened. It's over. At least Inquisition's trailer had Morrigan in it.

I never rooted for a game dev to crash and burn so hard. I'd still like my money back for DA:I but whatever, I'm gonna piss on your ashes regardless.
