Comment on After years of holding out hope, 2024 was the year I finally gave up on BioWare
Midnitte@beehaw.org 1 week agoAt least for Dragon Age (2009) was in development since at least November 2002, 5 years before EA purchased Bioware.
You could also look at DICE, and the absolute shitshow every Battlefield has been since they were purchased by EA.

That would mean basically no good games for almost 20 years. Even Bad Company 2, BF3 and 4, apparently beloved games in the franchise, are terrible.
Look, I barely play EA games, I just think that they aren’t the sole or even major reason a bunch of their dev teams have turned to shit.

Nuance is lost. Simplistic narratives are everywhere - and there’s nothing simpler than blaming the big boogeyman for everything. I’m not saying that they haven’t made mistakes and aren’t to blame for a great many things, but not every time and everywhere for everything.
