I dont like how the game looks, because i don't think the esthetics match the lore. I dont understand how we went from middle ages to what looks like post industrial revolution.
How about which mega corporations own which publishing houses? That would really be an educational piece for all consumers when they see the same opinions parrotted hundreds of times (hitpieces on BM:W for example). Or, who actually sponsors the video game awards ceremonies?
I’m 42 years old. I’ve been gaming since I was 4 with an Atari joystick in my hand. I can suffer a bad game. It used to happen when developers took risks, but off more than they could chew, or misjudged their audience. I miss those “bad games.” This hot garbage we get now is intentional. They are trying to influence culture as a whole through our hobby. They won’t see a dime from me.
I'm right there with you! That's where I started and I knew I'd love games forever. Being a gamer at the beginning of the mainstream age gives you a different perspective of games and appreciation for all of them, except for this trash that is out these days.
Bad games, movies and entertainment in the past were bad because they were made under either mismanagement, misediting or by incompetent, inexperienced people. Hence why they're often "reevaluated" in later years. Bad games, movies and entertainment of today are bad ON PURPOSE, done by incompetent and EVIL people. They deserve no tolerance, no reevaluation, and if some dumb kids in the future attempt to do that then I have no more hope for humanity.
at least these bad games were ambitious and tried to establish something new! And even if they weren't good to play, they stayed in your memory and you smile when you think about them
So it turns out releasing a game super heavy on DEI a week before an election cycle where DEI is a hugely contested issue was a bad idea. Damn, $300 million budget and nobody smart enough to work that one out.
I agree. I love the mass effect series & I CANNOT see another beloved franchise from my childhood gutted and bastardized into some amalgamation of woke DEI slop. I can’t do it b0ss!
They don't learn, Andromeda was their first flop and Veilguard's is just a repeat of everything that made Andromeda a failure but doubled down. They stated that while Veilguard's team was disbanded they didn't got fired, they are instead now working with ME5, along the main team. It's gonna be bad, they are gonna triple down on everything that made Veilguard the bomb it was. It already started, they released a Mass Effect board game which has the characters pronouns listed, most notably Liara as _she/they_ because they retconned the Asari as _non-binary_ For better or worse the series ended at Mass Effect 3, and as polarizing it's ending was I rather have that as the final conclusion that see them bastardizing the franchise into a woke pandering mess.
I'm Pro Black and confident in saying most of us never cared. We have bigger fish to fry. I actually don't like when they do put us in games. Their always mad fruity or extra weird. Never just normal.
Reminds me of Talis, that awful Mary Sue self-insert OC of Felicia Day in the Dragon Age II *DLC who got to (non-consensually) kiss Hawke with 0 repercussions.
Would make you expect them to understand that if their self-insert was panned by the actual audience would be the moment they would need to better themselves as people. But that requires common sense and decency.
It's completely fine for an author, musician, movie maker, game developer to introduce concepts and ideas that relate to them. The problem is when the creator decides that their experience and interests are more important than the product's quality and audience expectations. It was extremely jarring in Failguard because transgederism is a modern idea with no place in a medieval fantasy setting. It's even more problematic when the IP in which the writer was working was not creating by him, showing a complete lack of respect for the work of the people that build that setting. The lack of consideration and perspective from bioware is the cause for their own demise.
I reject it only because it is technically Gamergate 2.0... the seeds of the og gg have just grown into this monstrosity. It is the same gg just with a new coat of paint. Hence 2.0 not '2' lol
The focus of the original Gamer Gate before msm twisted it was about how women were being placed in jobs that they weren't qualified for. The price for allowing msm to control it was to put modern DEI hiring into place.
@@TheUplate You might not remember it, but the vast majority of the corruption in gaming industry was centered around women specifically in the space. Its disingenuous to not at least admit that. They were putting them into positions they were not qualified for under duress to check a box. The corruption spawned from feminist movement, just like what we see today spawned from the broader DEI movement.
With regard to Kinda Funny, after they dropped their “Please Vote for Kamala Harris” podcast, Tim came on their next show and said “The comments have been mostly positive, which means our messaging is working and the people we don’t want here are mostly gone.” The guy was bragging about driving his audience away.
As a straight black male I'm going to help EA with equity of representation by not buying their games. That way the percentage of male representation will be more balanced. My community never asked to be part of their soapbox.
Him saying Trans-People putting themselfes into Games is natural is just NUTS! Trans as a Condition is not "Natural" in the first place! So what is he even talking about! It is a Mental and Medical condition that has nothing to do in a Dark Fantasy Game as Dragon Age! It is not just completely alienating to the whole Community of Gamers! BY LARGE! It also doesnt fit the Narrative and direction of the Game in any Way, Shape or Form!
Hire on anything other than best person for the job, great. Now you have a quota of 2000 underperforming individuals that you't can't touch. That will scream at HR for the slightest criticism of their work ethics while sat on their phones all day
Listening to that video by Andy Cortez, he is leaving out the part where games should have a target audience. When you are given control of an existing franchise you either make the game for that audience or you will fail. Having DEI is not the problem, ignoring who your audience is, that is the problem. When you make a game for 6% of the population, you will sell 6% of what you might have otherwise, budget accordingly.
For Andy Cortez to say the writers of DragonAge put trans people in simply because that is what they know is disingenuous, at best. If that's the case, how are they writing about anything mythical, such as a dragon, or anything concerning magic? No, they are writing trans perspectives into the game as an agenda.
Any game that has "Diversity" or "representation" as one of their selling points I will not buy. Any company ramming that into their games is not focusing on making a game, it's focusing on preaching woke ideology.
It's funny, because games always felt more diverse than other medias and nobody had a problem with that. They keep trying to spin this narrative of bigot gamers, but it never made any sense in first place. It only become a problem when they stopped making games and started creating propaganda instead
Weirdly, good (or at least decent) games that have diversities and reps, never need to market their game with virtue signalling bs. Edit: and those "journos" don't even talk about those games. It's like they just want controversy ir something, eh?
They want more women in the industry but not if they disagree. Women should be paid their due but not if they disagree. Kirby was part of a group fired for their disagreement over the direction of Veilguard and they sued EA in an attempt to get her full severance packages... The hypocrisy just never ceases to amaze me.
They act like there were no women in the industry until this recent push, because they were “gatekept” by sexists or something. There were women. It’s why there were female devs coming to the defence of Nolan Bushnell with that erroneous assault claim. People that were making games in the 70’s. The reality was, ANYONE who wanted to get into games back in the 70’s or 80’s had a high barrier to overcome. You had to REALLY want it because you couldn’t just go get a college degree in a single discipline. You had to buy your own computer, learn a programming language, and look for a company that made games in your region or general location (which was far less common), and/or make your own studio. A lot of times people got an “in” by working for computer software companies like Microsoft first. Making all sorts of utilitarian software, not even games. And there was no “I’ll just be an artist” role. Back then, with a team of 10 or less, EVERY person had multiple disciplines. You weren’t just an “artist”, you’d do the textures, models, and animations. Or a programmer that does music and sound effects as well. Video games, like sports, inherently appeal to men more, and with the bar so high, you’re only going to the absolute most dedicated people. Because there was no easy way in. A lot of people would’ve been cut off (men included) because they didn’t want to learn programming, or because they had to buy a computer and at the start of personal computers, it was much too expensive just to “try” to see if you’d be interested. Some of the _consoles_ cost more than the ones today, never mind a computer to try making them.
dei and woke the anti crowd was a small group as most were neutral until this shit exploded and also the fact how much the dei/woke crowd cant shut their mouth and even when they are wrong they must be correct. Now more and more people who are neutral ends up being sick of them and decide to go with the anti crowd cause if u dont support the woke/dei crowd u are a biggot.
@@Alexey65536I still hate EA, I just hate BW more. But I mean this is still EA's fault for not controlling their studios properly. They forced them into Anthem then just stepped back with Veilguard.
Does anyone else find it insanely fucked up that BioWare had an actually super talented female dev in Mary who literally created the quanari race and they fucking kicked her out? Like BioWare is truely a damned dumping ground of everything wrong in gaming.
They wanted this game to appeal to women more heavily than even passed games, and apparently their strategy for that was getting rid of a very talented woman who worked on this game. It really just doesn't make sense. Not even on paper.
Honestly it was probably good she didn't stay to witness this absolute monstrosity that Bioware became. She's probably off doing what she loves with people who aren't DEI woke agenda pushing sheep.
Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard. How is Bioware still no closed down. 3 blunders in a row. At this point you know the next game they are working on is going to suck.
Anthem sold 2 million copies I think I heard. And I actually liked the story of the game. Its long term play was just completely lacking. Anthem was considered a colossal failure with 2 million sold. Veilguard is a world ending catastrophe.
I genuinely don't get how they are still open, EA has killed studios for less. And what's worse is that they are gonna nuke the only chance they have with Mass Effect 5, they have already started including woke nonsense like stating Asari are not actually women but Non-binary. You know, the Mass Effect 3 ending in retrospect doesn't seem that bad, is a more fitting end that them turning the series into a leftoid HR presentation like they did Dragon Age with Veilguard.
@@Walamonga1313 they keep getting business because state/government regulations require the game companies to hire them or a company like them. I cannot wait till those regulations get removed and game development can be free again.
It was right the first time. They just used some quasi-related stuff to shield themselves. Access gaming, the lack of expertise in the field, and unfounded accusations.
Funny how a group of professional activists who are despised by the large majority of gamers believes that it gets to make demands to begin with. Yeah, that's not going to happen.
I was just wondering that...between Andromeda, Anthem, and now Veilguard, I'm unsure how they even plan to keep BioWare alive. I don't like seeing a beloved studio close down, but it seems like a soulless husks of its former self, just wearing the mask of its most beloved IPs at this point. I would be really surprised if they didn't get dissolved at this point, tbh.
we'll have to wait for them to butcher the next Mass effect game, which i have 0 doubts that they will butcher it, and then EA will finalize the dismantling of Bioware.
Nah they shouldnt close bio ware down they should fire all those responsible for thie garbage fire of a game they gave us and bring back the ones responsible for actually making a good DRAGON AGE not the woke-age: failguard
@@Redmeer411 How many more chances are you going to give a studio that had 3 major flops in a row? Money doesnt grow on trees for EA either, maybe it does on FIFA Games though
@@Grukgrimskull Stop being so stupidly hopeful like this, you know this is never going to happen because everyone involved already moved on, you should too
One can hope. The whole “team leaves and tries to make a spiritual successor” thing hasn’t exactly panned out in most cases, even if they weren’t trying to be woke. You can’t perfectly capture the scenario that led to those games. Although idk if Exodus is trying to be Mass Effect. I only heard of it from you. But that’s usually an issue, that they can’t recapture the same quality.
I'm Australian, and if anything Trump's victory has shown is that traditional media is dying. All I want in gaming is an immersive story to generate some escapism! And for journalists and reviewers to be impartial! No agenda, deliver the news or a review or whatever. No bias. It's why Rick Shiels in the golfing world is so popular. Guys, it ain't hard!
Mary Kyrby get pushed out of Bioware and of course they kill off one of her characters.... SPOILERS Varric. Then they also conpletely ruin the Qunari. Bioware is full of spiteful people now.
Same with Amy Henning, Uncharted's lead writer, she got pushed out by multiple Naughty Dog employees, Neil Druckmann being the key figure and the second she was out, he was named director of Uncharted 4. Ironic how the folk that claim to be _feminist_ stab women in the back the second they have the chance.
@@Xfushion2yeah, isnt it amusing that the supposedly kind champions of women everywhere, treat women in their company who dont agree with them like trash.
3/10? Are you protecting your access too? 🤣 I joke! Seriously, when all it's flaws are summed, the Wokery, the broken game mechanics, the corruption of a beloved franchise, the cost, the time, the gaslighting... the game deserves a big fat goose egg. It's such a profound fuck up that we lack a word that sufficiently explains it.
First rule of a consumer driven market. THE CONSUMER IS ALWAYS THE ONE TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WAN'T and DON'T WAN"T The CONCUMER has made it very clear WE DO NOT WAN"T woke content in any product.
Yup fully agree. These people deserve to fail just for forgetting that. I laughed out loud at CONCUMER though, that tickled me more than it should have 😅
@@ShadowRulah consumer driven market doesn't care about an irrational emotional opinion of a company that refuses to make products for the majority of consumers
A fundamental misunderstanding about storytelling (coming from a writer) that most modern "writers" make is that they assume *ahem* "THAT SOMEONE CARES ABOUT THEM." Your lived experience is not why someone picks up a fantasy story, or a sci-fi story. You can utilize and include elements from your life/the real world, but they have to aid the story, not detract from it. Because in short, the moment someone is pulled out of a story, it's tough to bring them back in. This is why the rule of thumb is "if the first three pages don't grab a reader, they'll put down the book." I wrote a sci-fi series in high school. I never published and never went back to it. Because there was just too much "ME" in that series and I knew, growing up, that it wasn't very good.
"Edge lord leon" might have something to do with the "too much me" part. But then again, understanding that youre story wasn't gripping enough or was too much of a self insert is a good thing, you got to grow from that and can do better. Prosparity to you, good fellow. Keep on writting and growing.
They knew so little about the source material that they literally retconned the first line of the first dragon age. Can't write a good continuation to a story if you are only trying to make a different story.
Exactly My rule when worldbuilding or writing stories to fit into my friend's pathfinder campagins and also what i picked up from a old friend who wrote alot of si fi and fantasy as a hobby is you can inlcude or use elements from life you have experienced but you shoulden't include Your specific experience of it Because it will ruin immersion and then people are very likely to not finish the story.
Now that the political winds changed, we could petition Trump to pull the plug on DEI and ESG. Have them openly criminalized and enforce companies to hire people based of merit, skills, talent, commitment and etc.
I expect to see those DEI initiatives and regulations be dismantled one Trump's cabinet takes over. Elon in the DOGE is gonna have a field day too on regulations.
@@MartinOReilly-mb4um Well he's about to torpedo to hell the whole censorship stuff on the net, so it's only a matter of time till this madness will be cut short.
its funny that people say right in the first place. a lot of the rights were neutral until they were pushed by the fanatics/left activities to the point they cant take it and just join the people on the right
The key difference between creators like you and the "woke journalists" is that you start from scratch, building our platforms from nothing. Unlike those hired by established companies who simply sell out to keep their jobs, You stay true to your beliefs and values. This authenticity resonates with gamers because you're one of them - you share their experiences and frustrations. In the same way many prefer independent media over mainstream propaganda, viewers gravitate towards you guys because you all offer genuine, unfiltered opinions. Your relatability and integrity set you apart, earning the trust of your audience. Never Stop being true to you or doing what you're doing ENDYMION!!
They're immature, narcissistic losers that will keep doubling down as long as they are being funded by misanthropic organizations with an agenda. This is ALL they have and they're about to lose it.
13:18 Andy Cortez listen here, you are NOT thinking about game greatness, you are thinking about ideology. someone putting their experience in a game is technically art, but that doesnt mean its worth the money. whats worth the money is GAME GREATNESS.
This DEI woke social justice crap makes me angry. I have been looking forward to this release for a long time. I will not be playing...even if it was free...
TBH because of DEI and Woke a lot of people who was neutral ended up going to the right. since DEI and WOke crowd are the Left activist, Right becomes anti crowd. SO many people who were neutral originally now end up in anti because of how much shit they were put through by the dei and woke crowd. The woke/dei crowd could never keep their mouth shut and each time is just insult even when they are in the wrong they cannot admit it.
The interesting thing about the Musk news is that it means that at the end of the day, he was the one who was doing the runs, and now that he no longer has nearly as much downtime to devote to it, he's not doing nearly as well in the game.
It really sucks that Dragon Age dies off because they never made a DA4. I'll just have to content myself with the only three DA games that were ever made: Origins, 2, and Inquisition. It would have been really cool to see a fourth game.
The gamers didn't start Gamergate or Gamergate 2. It was the activists and "game journalists" who started this fire. And they're going to get burned by it.
I'm a visually impared guy, registered blind in fact. I write and build for a small, indi online text rpg called Erion, want to know how many characters "like me, IE blind people", I've put in the game? Zero! I don't want to read or write about characters like me. Yeah, if there's a blind person who is an interesting character in a piece of fiction like Toth in last airbender, I'll say "cool, the author got that write", but it's much more important that characters are interesting and fit with the world, and frankly when I'm writing game characters I'd much rather be writing about dwarves, elves, gnomes, kitsune, evil orcs and goblins and monsters for players to battle, than trying to just talk about myself. I get to be myself most of the time and to be honest, I'm not that interesting! I have even written on disability, did a hole phd on it in fact, but when I'm writing or playing cool fantasy games, that's not the place for ethical discussions, especially because such discussions need to be far more detailed and far more nuanced than would be possible outside of their proper place! Erion, and games generally are for exploring, battling, crafting, and getting the chance to be big dam heroes!
4:32 Dang! So they DO discriminate against women! Who would’ve thought??? 🤷♂️ They did Mary Kirby dirty. She did not deserve to be kicked to the curb for nonconformance.
“Back in the day game development studios were primarily white dudes and they didn’t really think about diversity”. Yeah, they weren’t thinking about diversity because they were busy thinking about making awesome games.
Andy made a ridiculous argument. Edward Albee, the great American Playwright that penned 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' along with many other notable plays once said, “I am not a gay writer. I am a writer who happens to be gay." He did not write for gay audience, he wrote for all audiences. The modern LGBT activist class seem incapable of doing that.
nowadays they are just people with severe validation crisis. i just watched lefties losing it and saw this curly haired pretend woman baiting restaurant waiter into eating there and when that unwitting waiter calls him 'sir' he's gonna lash out to the manager because of that and according to him 'it's like a knife to the heart'. manager should have scolded that one saying "not really lady-like"
Let Mass Effect rest in peace. It's bad enough they exhumed and danced with the corpse of the IP with Andromeda, now they're back to finish their hateful job
"Most people in game dev were white" i hate this lie. Most game devs are asian. Most games came from japan up until ps3. and now we're seeing game dev move back to east asia.
yeah, but modern libs in America have reclassified Asians as white, unless you're from south Asia. Thats why colleges are allowed to discriminate against them.
@13:41 they didn't think about diversity probably because they was too busy filling games with awesome things people ACTUALLY wanted in their games. Those "white dudes"as he puts it, actually knew how to create games and please their audience without agenda. They actually had talent which is evidently missing in today's game creation. Bring them back
@@BrownMan-gg7dx I got a surprise for you. I'm also black. This is an account of a friend. I hate how white men keep being blamed for everything when all they did was make great games.
na, just have this game be a crap story Varric was telling, then he gets called out about it, in the opening of the next one, and its immediately sidelined so that we get the real Dread Wolf game. It would work great since it sounds like none of your choices from earlier games matter in this one.
@therim187 nah, you know he wasn't lying cuz the women from past games (morrigan) have smaller tits, not bigger. He exaggerates the breasts in stories, such as the intro to da2.
You realize your explanation of the magisters is retconned right? Corypheus, the arcitect, the orher magisters who entered the black city... they now are no longer the first darkspawn. That means the golden city was the black city when they entered probably. Them making the old gods blighted pre-inprisonment means it was pre-veil. That means the blight was likely (going off their new dogshit lore) locked away in the golden city. The gods likely baited them to the black city to release the blight in hopes of leading to their escape. It is all speculation though because the writers who made the blight pre-veil dont care about the lore.. they dont care that they retconned the LITERAL FIRST LINE FROM A DRAGON AGE GAME..
Yeah this is like the only time I've seen people stand back to back and hold their ground AND actually "win". It's awesome to see I wish people could do it more. I'm proud of you guys
Ah yes, Colin Moriarty, the guy who gave us gamer entitlement when we said the ending for Mass Effect 3 sucked and made no sense. You know what you get.
Gaming has always had representation, however good storylines are more important to good representation. However these people are not talented, so they don't know how to craft a good story or good characters. It's like trying to watch a movie from a talentless director. In the end you just wish you never watched it.
In concept there is nothing wrong with diversity and inclusivity. But the DEI crowd have made a mockery of those concepts in order to push an agenda that people are rejecting on mass. They are killing the goals of the origonal concept. There was a right way to do this, that simply didn't happen!
I really hope EA closes BioWare down before the ME tv show or game is released. I can’t imagine how terrible a live action Turian or Krogan would end up looking. Let alone how they’ll end up recontextualizing the Asari
My best timeline is that DA is rebooted so that we're given the true sequel to Inquisition, and that "Dragon Age: Woke Mary Sue Edition" become non-cannon. Ah, one can dream....
Andy C is dumb... people aren't complaining about game characters being diverse.. People are complaining that HIRES are being hired to fill diversity. DIVERSITY != SKILL && TALENT... for the programmers out there.
Hey Bioware Store, I see those daily email drops every day now trying to farm my love for everything N7 and Shepard. You're not getting another dime until I see y'all respect the true fan base . You know, the ones who buy overpriced paragade jackets and N7 decals and plates for all their vehicles?!
Dragon age veilguaed writers knew so little about the games that they accidentally retconned the very first piece of world building lore that we get in a dragon age game.
This Andy guy is probably one of those types that act like there wasnt a black person on TV until 2017,Jennifer lawerence is the first female in an action movie, games were made by all white guys despite all the Japanese made games way back that so many of us grew up on

The Failguard is a bigger financial disaster than Disney's 'The Marvels', let that sink in.

Kind of points out why the games industry is so compromised - it's way bigger than the movie industry and everyone wants to use it to their advantage.

It's completely fine for an author, musician, movie maker, game developer to introduce concepts and ideas that relate to them.
The problem is when the creator decides that their experience and interests are more important than the product's quality and audience expectations. It was extremely jarring in Failguard because transgederism is a modern idea with no place in a medieval fantasy setting. It's even more problematic when the IP in which the writer was working was not creating by him, showing a complete lack of respect for the work of the people that build that setting.
The lack of consideration and perspective from bioware is the cause for their own demise.
“Reject GamerGate 2”
How about no.
I reject it only because it is technically Gamergate 2.0... the seeds of the og gg have just grown into this monstrosity. It is the same gg just with a new coat of paint. Hence 2.0 not '2' lol
The focus of the original Gamer Gate before msm twisted it was about how women were being placed in jobs that they weren't qualified for. The price for allowing msm to control it was to put modern DEI hiring into place.

@@NeonEclipse910no, it was about corruption in gaming journalism... Nothing to do with women
@@TheUplate You might not remember it, but the vast majority of the corruption in gaming industry was centered around women specifically in the space. Its disingenuous to not at least admit that. They were putting them into positions they were not qualified for under duress to check a box.
The corruption spawned from feminist movement, just like what we see today spawned from the broader DEI movement.

Listening to that video by Andy Cortez, he is leaving out the part where games should have a target audience. When you are given control of an existing franchise you either make the game for that audience or you will fail. Having DEI is not the problem, ignoring who your audience is, that is the problem. When you make a game for 6% of the population, you will sell 6% of what you might have otherwise, budget accordingly.
6% is probably an over exaggeration, but even if that was honest, that’s “6%” is the maximum… and you’ll never sell the maximum.

For Andy Cortez to say the writers of DragonAge put trans people in simply because that is what they know is disingenuous, at best. If that's the case, how are they writing about anything mythical, such as a dragon, or anything concerning magic? No, they are writing trans perspectives into the game as an agenda.
Any game that has "Diversity" or "representation" as one of their selling points I will not buy.
Any company ramming that into their games is not focusing on making a game, it's focusing on preaching woke ideology.
I see Blix I see DEI
I no buy
It's funny, because games always felt more diverse than other medias and nobody had a problem with that. They keep trying to spin this narrative of bigot gamers, but it never made any sense in first place. It only become a problem when they stopped making games and started creating propaganda instead
Weirdly, good (or at least decent) games that have diversities and reps, never need to market their game with virtue signalling bs.
Edit: and those "journos" don't even talk about those games. It's like they just want controversy ir something, eh?
Or "modern audience". You can't make a game for an audience that doesn't exist.
Diversity, Equity, and Insanity
They want more women in the industry but not if they disagree. Women should be paid their due but not if they disagree.
Kirby was part of a group fired for their disagreement over the direction of Veilguard and they sued EA in an attempt to get her full severance packages...
The hypocrisy just never ceases to amaze me.
The industry is heavy with women. Go look at a lot of the dev teams anymore. Specially for games of a certain bent.
They act like there were no women in the industry until this recent push, because they were “gatekept” by sexists or something. There were women. It’s why there were female devs coming to the defence of Nolan Bushnell with that erroneous assault claim. People that were making games in the 70’s.
The reality was, ANYONE who wanted to get into games back in the 70’s or 80’s had a high barrier to overcome. You had to REALLY want it because you couldn’t just go get a college degree in a single discipline. You had to buy your own computer, learn a programming language, and look for a company that made games in your region or general location (which was far less common), and/or make your own studio. A lot of times people got an “in” by working for computer software companies like Microsoft first. Making all sorts of utilitarian software, not even games.
And there was no “I’ll just be an artist” role. Back then, with a team of 10 or less, EVERY person had multiple disciplines. You weren’t just an “artist”, you’d do the textures, models, and animations. Or a programmer that does music and sound effects as well. Video games, like sports, inherently appeal to men more, and with the bar so high, you’re only going to the absolute most dedicated people. Because there was no easy way in. A lot of people would’ve been cut off (men included) because they didn’t want to learn programming, or because they had to buy a computer and at the start of personal computers, it was much too expensive just to “try” to see if you’d be interested. Some of the _consoles_ cost more than the ones today, never mind a computer to try making them.

dei and woke the anti crowd was a small group as most were neutral until this shit exploded and also the fact how much the dei/woke crowd cant shut their mouth and even when they are wrong they must be correct.

Does anyone else find it insanely fucked up that BioWare had an actually super talented female dev in Mary who literally created the quanari race and they fucking kicked her out? Like BioWare is truely a damned dumping ground of everything wrong in gaming.
They wanted this game to appeal to women more heavily than even passed games, and apparently their strategy for that was getting rid of a very talented woman who worked on this game.

Honestly it was probably good she didn't stay to witness this absolute monstrosity that Bioware became. She's probably off doing what she loves with people who aren't DEI woke agenda pushing sheep.

Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard. How is Bioware still no closed down.
3 blunders in a row. At this point you know the next game they are working on is going to suck.
Anthem sold 2 million copies I think I heard. And I actually liked the story of the game. Its long term play was just completely lacking. Anthem was considered a colossal failure with 2 million sold. Veilguard is a world ending catastrophe.
@@soul_of_a_gamerAnthem probably had 2 million retail orders, not copies sold.
I genuinely don't get how they are still open, EA has killed studios for less.

I was just wondering that...between Andromeda, Anthem, and now Veilguard, I'm unsure how they even plan to keep BioWare alive. I don't like seeing a beloved studio close down, but it seems like a soulless husks of its former self, just wearing the mask of its most beloved IPs at this point.
I would be really surprised if they didn't get dissolved at this point, tbh.
we'll have to wait for them to butcher the next Mass effect game, which i have 0 doubts that they will butcher it, and then EA will finalize the dismantling of Bioware.

One can hope. The whole “team leaves and tries to make a spiritual successor” thing hasn’t exactly panned out in most cases, even if they weren’t trying to be woke. You can’t perfectly capture the scenario that led to those games. Although idk if Exodus is trying to be Mass Effect. I only heard of it from you.

A fundamental misunderstanding about storytelling (coming from a writer) that most modern "writers" make is that they assume *ahem* "THAT SOMEONE CARES ABOUT THEM." Your lived experience is not why someone picks up a fantasy story, or a sci-fi story. You can utilize and include elements from your life/the real world, but they have to aid the story, not detract from it. Because in short, the moment someone is pulled out of a story, it's tough to bring them back in. This is why the rule of thumb is "if the first three pages don't grab a reader, they'll put down the book." I wrote a sci-fi series in high school. I never published and never went back to it. Because there was just too much "ME" in that series and I knew, growing up, that it wasn't very good.
"Edge lord leon" might have something to do with the "too much me" part. But then again, understanding that youre story wasn't gripping enough or was too much of a self insert is a good thing, you got to grow from that and can do better. Prosparity to you, good fellow. Keep on writting and growing.
Good writing means recoginzing bad writing. Look at these people when they fail: they blame everyone else and insist they have nothing to learn.
They knew so little about the source material that they literally retconned the first line of the first dragon age. Can't write a good continuation to a story if you are only trying to make a different story.
Exactly My rule when worldbuilding or writing stories to fit into my friend's pathfinder campagins and also what i picked up from a old friend who wrote alot of si fi and fantasy as a hobby is you can inlcude or use elements from life you have experienced but you shoulden't include Your specific experience of it Because it will ruin immersion and then people are very likely to not finish the story.
Now that the political winds changed, we could petition Trump to pull the plug on DEI and ESG. Have them openly criminalized and enforce companies to hire people based of merit, skills, talent, commitment and etc.

TBH because of DEI and Woke a lot of people who was neutral ended up going to the right. since DEI and WOke crowd are the Left activist, Right becomes anti crowd.
SO many people who were neutral originally now end up in anti because of how much shit they were put through by the dei and woke crowd. The woke/dei crowd could never keep their mouth shut and each time is just insult even when they are in the wrong they cannot admit it.
The interesting thing about the Musk news is that it means that at the end of the day, he was the one who was doing the runs, and now that he no longer has nearly as much downtime to devote to it, he's not doing nearly as well in the game.
Theyll never admit wrong no matter how much they fail.
It really sucks that Dragon Age dies off because they never made a DA4. I'll just have to content myself with the only three DA games that were ever made: Origins, 2, and Inquisition.

I don't want to read or write about characters like me. Yeah, if there's a blind person who is an interesting character in a piece of fiction like Toth in last airbender, I'll say "cool, the author got that write", but it's much more important that characters are interesting and fit with the world, and frankly when I'm writing game characters I'd much rather be writing about dwarves, elves, gnomes, kitsune, evil orcs and goblins and monsters for players to battle, than trying to just talk about myself.
I get to be myself most of the time and to be honest, I'm not that interesting!
I have even written on disability, did a hole phd on it in fact, but when I'm writing or playing cool fantasy games, that's not the place for ethical discussions, especially because such discussions need to be far more detailed and far more nuanced than would be possible outside of their proper place!

I am a writer who happens to be gay." He did not write for gay audience, he wrote for all audiences. The modern LGBT activist class seem incapable of doing that.

@therim187 nah, you know he wasn't lying cuz the women from past games (morrigan) have smaller tits, not bigger. He exaggerates the breasts in stories, such as the intro to da2.
You realize your explanation of the magisters is retconned right? Corypheus, the arcitect, the orher magisters who entered the black city... they now are no longer the first darkspawn. That means the golden city was the black city when they entered probably. Them making the old gods blighted pre-inprisonment means it was pre-veil. That means the blight was likely (going off their new dogshit lore) locked away in the golden city. The gods likely baited them to the black city to release the blight in hopes of leading to their escape. It is all speculation though because the writers who made the blight pre-veil dont care about the lore.. they dont care that they retconned the LITERAL FIRST LINE FROM A DRAGON AGE GAME..
