I am definitely going to share this story with the team. It really touched my heart and I’m sure it will theirs.
I remember when the title went on steam, it was a really big deal.
As for the light saber, lemme look. The box is currently in storage, in it’s original box, neatly packed. I cherish those years.
- Comment on Concord is going offline beginning September 6th 3 months ago:
I indeed did. I started working on it as QA and left the project as a software engineer. It was a really fun experience.

I worked in Star Wars: The Old Republic for ten years. It’s still running and the story is really nice. EA sold it to Broadsword.

I don’t think they realized anything. I worked for them for 13 years. I think they are likely looking at a strategy to bring archived games with low hardware requirements to new platforms that can run them.
For example, I worked on NBA and Madden Mobile. These were ps3 games that were ported.
It’s a good strategy. Why start from scratch when you can just port existing titles that had good sales.

For that, you actually will need realistic goals and more competent managers. Lol

When I started working at EA 14 years ago (I got laid off last year) they literally told us we might have to sleep under our desks. I promptly told them if that was the case, I would quit. Instead they made us work 7 days a week 9-9 for months. Fun job.

What you don’t want to go to “X”? I can’t imagine why. lol /s same though. Also I refuse to call it x. It’s fucking Twitter. It’s like that line in mean girls, “Gretchen, quit trying to make fetch happen, it’s not going to happen!” Lol

Woohoo!! This awesome! As a game dev, I can speak to how awful the industry can be. That’s really great news that they unionized. 🙌

It sounds exactly like a Microsoft fix.

Just imagine if it’s a build farm with hundreds of machines. Jesus. That’s a hell I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy.
- Comment on Here's 3 reasons I'm actually pretty optimistic about Dragon Age: The Veilguard despite being an old school RPG sicko 5 months ago:
Lol you can have shade. Nobody is perfect, for example: do you know what a Gold Master is? It’s the final copy of the game that is written on the disk. It’s also the reason why when you buy a game, the patch is gigantic. It’s out of date, really really important, and has to be certified by both Microsoft and Sony.
The dragon age team, for DAI, built this super important build on a QAs desktop. Why might this be bad you ask? Because it’s an uncontrolled system that’s not clean and is connected to the Internet. Thank God they didn’t have a virus or malware, because it could’ve been written to millions of disks. Lol
It’s the same reason why, initially, the first Star Wars: The Old Republic launcher installed in a user folder named “hedev”. Users were like who the fuck is hedev? Lol that was a coding bug and less of a build mistake but still. The details matter.

Did you not like DAI? I liked DAI (and worked on it some), but that was a much different BioWare. I was lucky to not work for BioWare when they shit canned the whole Austin office and sold Star Wars: The Old Republic to Broadsword. I heard a loud of BioWare people also left, but what are you doing to do in the shit hole that Edmonton is? Not many options I’ve heard.
As someone who has worked directly with that team I’m hopeful but also hoping it’s not another dumpster fire like Anthem was. I could go on forever about that project.
