Not a gamer, don't get the reference, but you get my upvote because this scene is just epic.
Dagordae
EA is the current gaming boogieman. They get blamed whenever a studio they own dies, regardless of whether or not the studio had made
anything good for years. Or if they made a few good games years ago and nothing but failure ever since.
Perolith
I mean to be fair, EA really cripples the studios so they can't make good games. just ones that make money. and they never learn.
Idsertian
EA is not the only boogeyman, but they are the (un)popular one. And with good reason. However, don't forget #OhYOUbisoft and #Craptivision.
buddyfriendguy
Did bioware actually survive? Andromeda died pretty quickly and now they're just copying bungie
Bioware Edmonton, the studio responsible for Andromeda, was moved to EA Motive's office and absorbed by them. >>>
It was literally to get them in the same office building as their boss (the Motive GM)/ get the devs working on other projects. >>>
Im speculating but I think EA blames the Motive mgmt team for the fiasco that was Andromeda and is trying to keep as many devs as possible.
You're not wrong that Andromeda was made by a different team but still the average person just will think bioware sucks
NetElvis
I’d like to see bioware on that list of killed developers.
JTesfer
Bioware is like Mara Jade or something, gone to the dark side, and if they turn back they're gonna die.
Superkee
Bioware Montreal (the ones responsible for ME:Andromeda) were. Well they were absorbed in EA Motive which is the same fate really.
nonono, I want ALL of bioware to be on that list. they haven't made a game that I believe to be good since ME:1 and they're getting worse.
SchmittyJagermenjensen
Yes because elevator simulator was perfect in every way.
The earned it after Andromeda, and I read about this, they were moved to work out of the same office as the EA Motive GM (who is their boss)
IIRC, none in Bioware Montreal had ever made a full game directly before. Just assisted other studios, or did DLC or things like that.
That sounds right.

Hahaaha asmathic goth giant, take your upvote good sir. But yeah, in a time where no one has seen the force, seeing it would be traumatic
stillwaitingonthedamnedcommittee
Vote with your wallet. Don't buy from them?!
Already on it
Doesn't work. Too many chavs buying FIFA, jocks buying NFL, and dudebros buying Battlefield each year. We need a different attack.

d1d1t4t3hlulz0hl4wdy
Bitch I haven't bought an EA game in probably 20 years! I HAVE BEEN! WTF THE REST OF YOU DOING?!
NinjablazerZero
The vast majority of people who buy from them are the ones who either don't actually care, or don't listen.
Vast majority. That really can't be understated
Jokesterwild
This is stupid. no. its because BF1 and Titanfall 2 look amazing and the gameplay is excellent. Just happens that EA is the publisher.
Doesn't invalidate the point that the majority of people buying those don't care about anything going on in the industry as a whole.
Deadpoolio7
But that’s what happened though. Visceral didn’t sell enough of Hardline and Dead Space 3, so they got shafted and canned.
And The ironic part is that both games failures were due to publisher(EA) interference. Dead Space 3, if it was a horror game would be good
While different, I did still really enjoy Dead Space 3.
HomosexualNecrophiliacMallard
I did too! Also adding microtransactions was a big no no too. But unfortunately they make so much money off of them. It's infuriating.
TheGreatPeru
Well then how do we support the studios that we like?
nahgofuckyourself
Buy from them.
All of those studios are subfaction of ea games
igotbannedfortryingtofaceswapmytesticle
But what if they are owned by them
TheWanderer22
Then the game will suck anyway. Don't let your joy from the first game blind you on the EA sequels shitsandwich
Then they joined the ea side

Exactly... my wife is talking about this so much but Bioware is my favourite studio ever. So should I just not buy or what ?

However much they pay for those positive reviews can't be worth the loss of credibility those papers suffer every time.
When a game is made for brand recognition over artistic vision. EA looks at these failures and learns all the wrong lessons.

Andromeda was a great game, despite it's numerous flaws, and did not deserve the shit it got.
Great game or not, you can't have your employees going onto social media and saying white men are evil scum. Bioware and EA allowed that.
Bioware joined the dark side, killing it would be a mercy.

You guys telling me to give up on Dragon age? That makes me very sad.
Dragon Age 2 should've convinced you of that already. Talk about watering it down from the first
impaulsible
Seriously! I played 10 minutes and promptly put it on eBay afterwards.
The story, main city, and battle system were well made. The comparison to Origins is unfair given the scale difference and story structure1/
The only major flaw was the lack of dungeon design where they reused the same maps just with sections either blocked off or you 2/
StopLookingAtMyName
If Anthem turns out terrible, I'll believe that. I feel like the talent is still there, they just have to tip-toe around EA's bullshit.
Doesn't matter. EA is axing any project that's not sports or some easily-monetized, open-world affair. That's why Visceral was shut down.
It's only a matter of time before Bioware is a thing of the past.

Mike Laidlaw left. No more Dragon Age, no more Mass Effect. I worry for the employees.
