Tali picture caused quite an uproar among degenerated Biodrones back in the days. Even the most brain-addled Talimancer could see he was being swindled and they were not pleased.

Now let see how veilguard fares today:
Nope.. no veilguard still but where is it?
Nope still not...
Nope.. Oh there it is right after euro truck simulator 2 a 2012 game:
One of my friends, a Codexer, wants this game. Let's play a little game—can you guess who he is?

How's Diablo IV still so high?! I enjoyed the game well enough as run-of-the-mill ARPG sludge but you almost never hear anyone talk about it.

The 40% off and an expansion coming soon would be my guess.
But this is a list of SALES, so its new people buying it. Who is interested in a Diablo IV expansion, that hasn't already bought Diablo IV?
Its one of those games and genres where the kind of people who'd play it would have already played it. Not really a genre you randomly wonder into to see what's up, just because its on sale. Or maybe I'm out of touch and the Diablo brand is that strong...

Well they just had a free trial, dropped the base price by $20, and this sale on top of that makes it the lowest price yet. These people aren't necessarily going to buy the expansion day one, but rather get swayed by the expansion hype and see the base game is the cheapest it's ever been.
The brand is very healthy (unfortunately). Both Diablo III and IV became the fastest selling Blizzard games. So there's enough momentum going for it to get people to pull the trigger when they think they see a good deal.
In DA:O and especially in DA2 the elves had such a distinct elfin headshape that it was impossible to mistake them for humans, even if they had been the same height. Origins elves didn't look as weird but they were more petite than humans, even male elves. I suppose around DA:I they started to look like humans with pointy ears, maybe even down to the height.
This image speaks more about the level of Bioware effort that any words could. If I was supervising creative things there and someone suggested that they grab a random royalty-free photo off the internet and give it a few minute photoshop job, I would've fired the person immediately.
Showing what the quarians look like via this fanservice was obviously a hurried afterthought, and someone decided it was good enough.
Good enough.

Veilguard would be nearing the top if it had any of the following: conventionally hot party members, complex and engaging RPG mechanics, and a mature, dark setting akin to the one and only - Origins.
It's probably rated M, but no self-respecting teen or adult wants a game that claims to be all that the rating entails while looking like a kids' Pixar animation from hell.
Great. More infantile mobile aesthetics and cringy stories. Who the fuck wants these, gook women?

I've long thought that the most significant accomplishment of nu-Bioware is making Gaider look like a literary genius.

None of Bioware's games of recent years have been profitable--at least at the level EA wants them to be. Not sure why you'd think this would be different.

The whole art style is weird. It's like... I don't know... a mobile game dev studio made a Dragon Age spinoff, but it's actually Bioware doing it? I don't understand who could think this was a good idea. It looks weirdly "cheap". DA art style has been all over the place in every title, but this one takes the cake for feeling generic.
