Mass Effect Andromeda: Shitstorm Edition - RIP Biowear

Is anyone else sort of surprised they didn't try to market this game with "If you don't buy this it's because you hate women and minorities and the alt right will win?" that seems to be the standard tactic nowadays.

It's EA, they are fully aware they are in the "bloating corpse" stage of sucking a dev house dry. They're just getting ready to buy out and kill another company now.

They did sort of frame the people mocking the animation as misogynistic for mocking the twitter profile of a woman who was credited as a lead animator, which Bioware put out a statement telling people to cut it out

Although they didn't specify which employee, the gaming press assumed it was about a woman and not say, Manveer Heir, who has been getting trolled for the past two years for his contributions to Andromeda and his general SJW-type tweets mocking white people.

So while Bioware employees across the board were getting clowned on, Polygon and Kotaku only seemed to care when it happened to a female employee.

To be fair, a cute cosplay chick is way easier to defend than Manveer "Jihadi Eyebrows" Heir.

It's also easier to get hordes of thirsty neckbeards to come to her defence.

It seems like ME:A will lead to some developer turnover:
“Mass Effect, I think from a quality perspective, didn't exactly hit the mark. And it looks like we've now delayed the anticipated new IP, which sometimes is also tied to quality. So, curious if there's any change in leadership, or developer turnover. [What’s up] internally within Bioware?”
The implication is that Andromeda's reception coupled with the delay to Dylan could warrant layoffs, which is quite a thing to suggest on one of these calls. EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson responded, offering a few concessions up front.
He says Andromeda “was in development for a really long time”, and admits that “overall, the aggregate review scores were lower than we would have liked”. He also notes the fanbase for the game is “very passionate, looking for very particular things. And many players found exactly what they're looking for and some players did not.”

And yet again, a social justice and progressive agenda product has crashed, burned and killed everyone involved.

On that note, fucking lol. Yeah, good job giving a major IP to a studio that had 0 games under its belt and hired based on ideology and shoved it hand over fist into the game. That was a master-play Bioware. You had no good will and no expectations from the dumpster fire that was ME 3's ending, which could only be salvaged by cutting out your ass-cancer ending by modders and making the Citadel DLC the true ending. And even after abysmally low expectations, you STILL managed to disappoint.

I am sad for the loss of the ME trilogy (well, excepting for parts of 3, the ending), but I won't miss the shithole that is Bioware. Put it in the ground EA, nobody wants their new fucking IP.
