Does it really mean the end of "modern" Bioware?

In the "dark age of gaming" (i.e. the xbox-xbox360 generation), commercial failures were usually anticorrelated with the quality of the product (e.g. Looking Glass, Black Isle, Troika, etc.)

The same anticorrelation was seen also in the case commercial success: the more the games were dumbed down, the more the normies were happy to consume them (see Bethesda, the same Bioware, etc.)

Are things now different?

I don't think any correlation exists now between quality and success. I think the biggest predictor of success now is if a popular streamer picks up the game. Cleve's next game could sell a million copies with zero marketing if Asmongold or Cohh plays it.

Pathfinder: Wrath
yeah this is expected

the next question is where these people will go

CDPR?
Obshidian?
Or the successor of Bioware, Larian?
Square Enix.

Considering how hard Square cucked out these days to be "one of the western bois" yeah I can see that

While the pendulum swings back in the West, Japanese being ancients turtles will probably have Japan take these type to ruin their own industry

I think its high time to admit that the local majority who still plays video games actually played this shit and liked it. But the problem is local faggots are closeted and are afraid of publicly admitting this fact.

The very foundations of this site are being shattered as we speak. Truly fabulous times. Slava Ukraini!

But Asmongold did play Veilguard, and he called it a 6/10.
