I know this specific "scoop" about the imminent shutdown is probably horseshit, but I still feel like these particular tweets are going to age like milk. When Bioware indeed gets nuked from orbit (it's the only way to be sure) I wonder how cocky "Raven" here will be.
Given that it's Bioware the cross dressing Joker fits even better than it normally would.
I personally think Bioware will be shut down this year primarily for one reason. DA:V was not greenlit with DLC in mind.
It’s so weird how companies do these things nowadays. I don’t want to listen to grifters like SmashJT and Grummz, but we did get the news that Ouka Studios, the creators of Visions of Mana, was shutting down not from Square Enix but by third parties. I wouldn’t be surprised if BioWare didn’t announce anything since the bullshit they did with the journalist game reviews for Veilguard.
People keep forgetting that some things just need to end. The way that Mass Effect: Andromeda went, both in story and quality, should tell you that Mass Effect should have ended with the definitive third game. That was a definitive ending and trying to tack more stuff on it with the staff BioWare has currently doesn’t work. The same kinda goes with Dragon Age. I wish we had a much better ending than Veilguard, but it should just end there. You’re not going to get the same sense universes you got previously.
If Sony was serious about that, they would honestly cancel all their live service stuff and move on to what made them recognizable in the first place: Wipeout, SOCOM, Killzone, etc.
Ugh, they dropped the ball so hard with Anthem. It looked gorgeous and flying around the world in a big fucking mech was really fun. Shame the gameplay and everything else about the game sucked donkey balls. I still have no clue what they were thinking by releasing that turd in the shape it was in.
Anthem was about five years deep in production when it was released, back when game dev cycles still measured in single years or so. EA eventually cracked the whip at year 4 or so and forced Bioware to release something, instead of just sitting on their ass in endless pre-production, presumably at the threat of studio closure or worse.
Femshep belongs to Garrus and I will hear no other discussions on the matter tbh.
I think you're right. It's nice to have a specific person to blame for everything, but in reality no one person at any AAA studio is that powerful. It has to be rotten from the top down to get this bad.
Concord definitely wins biggest overall fuck-up in gaming history for me, but they didn't have the benefit of nostalgia that Dragon Age did. If it's really true that Veilguard only shifted 1 million units that is beyond embarrassing.
Please archive these tweets because, even if it's not confirmed, in the event Bioware really does get shut down this smug dipshit's preening is going to be so much funnier.
DAV was in production hell apparently as late as 2022, and Busche and Epler basically just tard wrangled everything and mashed a mix of two rebooted games to get it out the door.

>Make ridiculous statement nobody has said
This led to a recurring joke between me and my friends.
They are jerking each other off with pronouns and how chicks can have dicks
that's just another indicator how shit bioware is tbh.
they do listen, remember they are perfectly able to give you want you want - they just don't want to.
We need a BroShep who manages to get an Ashley/Liara threesome going.
live service game like Anthem somehow. It's one of the reasons various senior staff at bioware quit back in 2017.
This is honestly more hilarious now with the recent news that Sony cancelled a god of war live service game.
Cisquisition was originally a MMO, but Veilguard was clearly a mobile game.
I wish we'd got Anthem 2.0 instead of Veilguard. That game was at least fun to play, despite their being fuck all to do but re-run the same handful of raids and watch the purple rain.
