For all its faults Bioware served as a containment zone for those creatures. Now when it's collapsing the illness spreads to other companies.

Wanted to see Bioware's demise? Be careful what you wish for.
BioWare refugees is a myth now, they went to bsn.boards.net or dispersed to reddit, the first place is dying. Most of them became Larian fans. WIth the company's death and no new games the fandom will die out soon.
I meant Bioware devs, not fans. Imagine people responsible for Veilguard writing now being everywhere, ruining your favorite franchises.
No need to imagine. The fuckers already are everywhere trying to destroy everything. If not actual failguard writers, then those who are exactly like them.

Daily reminder from your conscience: Veilguard Codex thread up to 200 pages, even without bear sex, while excellent indie games languish inside 20-30 page threads.
Those indie developers should consider developing their games for 20 years and changing release dates every few months if they wanted to get to 1700 pages.

As Tyranicon has foreseen, Veilguard will be the doom of the entire industry.
Bioware writers were the real Blight all along

Social media is one thing, I just couldn't believe how hard woke retardism hit my social group. It was bizzare, 4 dudes become trans, some of their dads went trans too, there are 15039 genders, address me as shes/ehs/xxe/godandsavior etc.
You have my sympathy. Ultimately it's a social contagion and anyone who manages to avoid it should genuinely feel proud of themselves.

I've still got some solid friends that stick by me through thick and thin but my own original friend group from my college days was hit pretty hard as well.

One of the women hit on me but she wasn't my type and I let her down as gently as I could. We naturally fell out of contact when I moved further north. I've since learned that she married a guy who looks very similar to me.

Another of the women briefly became a lesbian. Then she came out as asexual. Then she decided she just loathes men altogether and blocked everyone else in the group.

One of the guys 'accidentally' sent me a dick pic and kept joking that if he were a dog, he'd be humping my leg to apologise. He later moved to America and I've since learned that he's now a full on furry, complete with a wolf fur suit.

Another of the guys confessed that he had a crush on me. When I told him I did not feel the same way about him he distanced himself from the group. I've since learned that he has moved to Japan to teach English and has had surgery to make himself trans.

The rest of us, eight in total, have maintained contact to varying degrees but have managed to remain relatively normal. We try to meet up at least once a year, though for the most part our contact is entirely through social media these days.

Interesting that Kirstjanson and Kirby are still credited after being laid off in 2023.
If you work on the game, you get put in the credits, that's how it works. And their writing is still in the final product.
Indeed. I had wondered if there was a behind the scenes issue leading to it but evidently not given that about 50 people were laid off at the same time.

An honest retrospective on DA4's development would be fascinating but I doubt we'll ever get one.

Dude what the fuck. The worst way I lost my friends from college or earlier was when they got married, had children and no longer had time to meet up. What the fuck is wrong with the west.

One can reasonably guess that in 2023 Veilguard slipped on an important milestone which angered EA so much that they ripped TOR and its money-printer away from Bioware and slashed their budget as a wake-up call to get straight and organized. All that easy money had made them sloppier and careless.

Coincidentally, the same individuals who went off of the rails were also the ones stuck in jobs where vultures were breathing down their necks looking for the opportunity to fire, shame or manipulate them. Early on they used to complain about the dumb 'inclusivity courses' they were forced to sit through. Then they stopped complaining and later became true believers.

All of them were the sort of people to laugh and joke about without a filter, too.

It's unfortunate but it is what it is.

If I was a EA shareholder I would be mad.

These are commercial products. Give the gamers what they want. Why do you think the Japs always put in fan service?
Lolis sell trannies don't.
If that makes these hipster game developers uncomfortable they can find a different job.

It stopped being just a business long time ago, nowadays everything needs to be politicized in the western world.

Hence I hope it all burns.

Why would you jump to children and not just normal well proportioned young women? There are plenty of Western and Japanese devs who have made attractive characters without catering to paedophiles, it's not like your only choice is between Taash and a 700 year old witch with the body of an eight year old.
