One of the most historic studios is closing down. Unfortunately it was dead long ago. Fuck EA

    Ban corporate ownership of other companies. It has no positive effects on the economy or the world.

    BioWare died 11 October 2007. We’ve been holding an open-casket wake ever since.

    You know, maybe it’s not all that bad. Go indie and release directly on Steam. EA can burn in Saudi Arabia.

    Bold of them to put Anthem on that list. They built an interesting world then told a boring story in it.

      IIRC there were numerous articles after launch talking about how it was EA that actually made them add the flying mechanics, easily the best part of the gameplay, after it got stuck in development limbo for years.

      Whether that was truly accurate or not, it does fit the extended development timeline, the lackluster story in the end product, and the failure to revamp the game after launch like the developers very publicly said they were trying to do. If they couldn’t do it the first time, and couldn’t do it the second time… it seems they were the problem, not EA (for once).

    They’ve been zombies for at least, what, 10 years now? It’s also amazing how ME:Andromeda, Anthem and DA Veilguard all sold over 1 million copies, yet were still “failures”

      I may be the only person alive who enjoyed Andromeda, but I do agree that Veilguard was completely unforgivable and also…inexplicable?

        You’re not alone, Andromeda’s take on combat was so much fun - the skill synergies and the mobility was properly thrilling. Though definitely lacked on the story side, however, it was still quite enjoyable.

          Thank you, I feel like its an unpopular thing to say but I actually really had fun and played through it twice. To each their own, I guess.

      Also Sony buying Nixxes… then deciding they don’t want to do PC ports anymore. These companies are clueless.
