You stayed at BioWare for 20 years

how can you be nearing your 60s and still behave like that

I hate the AAA industry so much dude.

15 minute anti spam filter for the election

doesn't prevent spam

ywnbaw

I mean when EA auctions them off. EA doesn't need any money sinks since they print money by releasing Madden every year.

BioWare IS EA, and about 80% of its workforce are just employees from other EA-purchased studios. The reason Veilguard feels like "HR is in the room" is because EA HR is in the room when they make this shit.

are writers really necessary at this point?

see Straight white men have to do it to keep their jobs.
EA literally shipped a bunch of DEI hires to BW to be trained by and replace the cishet males that worked at BW.

I wouldn't take the jew shot for a job and I sure wouldn't change my sex for a job.
This guy needs to be executed, not fired.

And by literally I mean I made it up

Only white men are allowed to do it, talk about life in easy mode.

In a game that is 70% dialogue-driven? Yes.
If you play an RPG to whack a sword and grind stats just play a JRPG or some old-school slop. If you play to shoot some guns play Halo or Gears or anything else.
BIoWare was never good at gameplay. They became famous because Baldur's Gate was solid RPG with branching conversations and because KOTOR told a really nice Star Wars story with choices.
If they can't nail story/choices, and how that is presented in the graphics and animation, then they fail.

Only the first dragon age was good.
Only the first mass effect was good.
If you ever cared about or wasted your time with anything after that you got trolled.
None of this matters, they flopped and can safely be fired.

Stop letting these animals sell you nostalgia bottles.

when the loser thinks he's become cool

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if there's something in the water that causes this.

There's something not right about the studio

Its actually from an "Anonymous Bioware employee" who did "an interview" with some schmuck

He figured out the meta to keep his job and changed his strat accordingly. Smart lad

He won

a smart man is able to keep a job without losing his dignity.

There's strands of the woke mind bacteria.

What makes you think hes doing it out of necessity? Fucking lmao dude

There's not. It's just game devs used to be nerds and treated as such. In current day they're treated as some form of rockstar, but are still in fact nerds, who don't know how to be actually cool... so you get cringe lords like this.

It's either that or he's having the strangest midlife crisis ever seen

Its all a facade. He changed his identity so he wouldn't be replaced by a real DEI-approved blue-haired retard, this way he can still work on Bioware and destroy the studio from the inside, like the Matrix brothers did on Matrix 4.

If you think Veilguard is bad just wait for ME5.

He had no choice; they would kick him out. Imagine being a writer with two kids and a wife who works in bioware as an editor; he is probably in his 50s, so there is no going back. I think he just went with it to keep the job. Also remember, he was the guy that leaked that Casey and Mac wrote ME3 ending by themselves, and he was frustrated. They sent him to the DA team after that.

is that conn carnage?

Seeing this is fucking scary. It makes me wonder if the mind virus could get me too if I were under pressure long enough.

This is new head CANNON

sure he had a choice. he could've just, you know, find another occupation, like the vast majority of old bioware did when it was laid down.
but he preferred to be EA's lapdog.

If you were making good money while being surrounded by theses tards, the invisible pressure would be higher.

my* (FUCK)

THEY WILL write on Mass Effect 5

Thinking Bioware will exist in 2025

It seems that if you are a man with glasses, you either:
1. Become a basedboy nu-male
2. Become an incel chud
There's no other option.

Do these people seriously not realize that blue hair is a 'mental sickness' stamp for the whole world to see?

I mean, he is a lead writer now. Why would he leave? Imagine being an unemplayed videogame writer with 2 kids in Canada.

Correct. Become the chuddiest chudd that ever chudded.

Bioware is still integral to EA's Operation Protect the Gays
it's also shored up by federal and province level subsidies in Canada

unemplayed

wtf with autotext

women on birth control dump estrogen into the water supply, hormones dont get filtered by current day filtration systems. the public is drinking female hormones

The last 10 years didn't kill Bioware, i doubt they will die now.

Yeah. You can't keep a weel-paid job if you are White and don't bend the knee to the liberal religion.

Back when we were kids I'd let my sister paint my nails just because she liked the process, this is the same thing but women at the workplace making you dye your hair.

the state of white "men"

Lmao, its hilarious how this place hates trannies but ignores the fact 80% of them are white. I wonder why

It's fucking social media creating these made up genders echo chambers and fucks like this succumb to that trash

wrote ME1

That's not Drew Karpyshyn.

Anon, it's a sign of loyalty to the cause for them. We just see it as a red flag for mental illness because the "cause" is a cult.

HIS studio

Casey probably hates him. He was the reason Casey stopped posting on Twitter for years because it was destroyed by hatemail from fans who hated the ending. Hudson probably had a depression or something after that.

exactly. that's why i raise a family with my money, while you sulk in your mom's basement

be a legitimate coder, artist, sound designer or modeler

get laid off from shitty company

work for a company that isn't affiliated with games

do less work for more money with less stress

E.A. really isn't thinking this one through.

The statistics say otherwise, the only difference is that white ones have the balls to go out in public and get loud

I don't understand how some people look like they are balding and 20 years later they are the same

first, being a writer is winning the lottery and retards graduating with this specifical goal in mind are asking to be thrown in the streets, so it's obvious that he didn't want to spend the next 5 years waiting for a remote chance to do the job he studied for.
regardless, he had work experience in videogames, and although origins was regarded coldly and 2 with outright disgust, he still was a name in a big studio, which could've given him an occupation not too dissimilar from what he has today, but in another company.
i don't have any idea of why he chose to turn into a woke puppet, but i suspect money is not the only reason here.

Hair loss isnt always gradual. I lost a decent amount of my hairline then it just stopped and hasnt changed in 6 years.

He's Canadian. Canadians are the most contemptible weak, propagandized, selfish people on the planet. Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by Canadian blood.

Unironically this. Take an American and make him worse in every aspect, and even more of a moral faggot = canadian.

I think you missed the part where he's now the head writer of a multi-million dollar franchise with a higher salary. Also, if you change jobs, you're probably going to have to move to a different location or work for less money. There's no point in doing that when you can just dye your hair and tell people what they want to hear from you (which, by the way, 90% of people already do for free).

I think, nowadays, if you have read a few good books, you can prompt chatGPT for dialogue and be able to vet what's good or not to take into a dialogue-heavy game, if you are making one.

i wonder what happened to this guy

Did this faggot color in his scalp with blue marker? Wtf is going on here

mass effect 1 was shit
who wrote mass effect 2? now that was a good game

you are absolutely correct. at least for video games, writers will be out of a job (or should be) in the very near future since most video games have terrible writing to begin with, so even gpt 4 would be a decent improvement on the diarrhea they put out

so what? i'm an accountant at procter & gamble, a multibillion dollar conglomerate that is in itself more powerful than the US government, and yet i work for minimum wage.
i have no doubt he earns more than i do, but if you think that a dying studio, with a tarnished reputation, in the hands of what was repeatedly called the worst company in the world, would pay you just as good as the puppeteers keeping your job alive then you're deluded.

Anon, my point is, why would he make his life significantly more difficult and complex if he can just deal with woke shit?

i'm an accountant at procter & gamble

Would you sign a Safeguard soap for me?

Didn't this guy write Solas and Iron Bull? What the fuck happened?

what does this to a man? honest question

Continual consumption of "popular" media (propaganda) and estrogen-laced food and drink.

Trannyfication in bioware turned into Tyranny of trannies and he had to adapt to stay alive.

What do you mean what the fuck happened? Trans ally Iron Bull was the beginning of the end

Sure, Mass Effect 1 is garbage so it makes sense

Estrogen. Bad dieting, bad lifestyle, etc lead often to mental illness in men.

he.... leveled up

this is how you survive with a woke kike infested HR

pornography

americans have killed too many people. i guess it's a blood curse

guys...... i have a major revelation to make

i rubbed H2O2 against my hair and after rising it off i turned into a woman

Are you telling me tens of millons of men died for THAT as a future?

not having one single real friend would be my guess.

social engineering

Looking back, were we too harsh on Casey Hudson?

the idea that everything needs to be written by committee is ridiculous. Writing only needs one person.
And what a piece of shit for throwing specific people under the bus publicly, while pretending he was a good guy.

from , it seems like he really enjoys writing as a committee so he has no problem with HR looking over his shoulder.

h-hot

the idea

It's not about the idea; it's about how they used to work, including their other previous games. Writing a game is in some aspects way more complex than writing an article or a book since there are so many forms of player perception involved (visuals, gameplay, sounds, music, pacing, etc.). A team of writers helps with that.

Writing only needs one person.

Sure, but it obviously didn't work for them at the end of the game. They were unable to create a satisfying ending.

throwing specific people under the bus publicly

honestly fuck these guys; they deserved all the hate they got. As for him, he is a fucking boomer that was frustrated that ending ruined the entire thing. Do you really think he expected that someone would find his post on some obscure forum on the internet? Even if he expected that, I'm glad he did it.

committee

This is how they used to work for years; there are many interviews about that from other writers; they literally sat in one room.

Gen Y or X

The memes, Jack.

He is 40 something, closer to 50 as far as I know.

imagine if instead of water she peed on him haha wouldn't that be horrible? i'd totally not sign up for the role haha

He is 40 something

Means nothing, Millennials are 40-45 now

there's something in the water that causes this.

Nah bro
Earliest millenials were born in the mid-80s so they can't be older than 40
Everything before that is late Gen X

Millennials are 1980-1996
they're literally middle aged

According to this, if you're a normal man working at BioWare you won't get promoted, raises or even have anything to say in the development, because you'll get ignored by the activist clique now in charge of the studio: youtube.com/watch?v=mEBfseh01Jw

This was probably his Option to retain some amount of power. Of course, the much more dignified Option would have been to quit and go work somewhere else, or do literally anything else.

Btw. did you know that EA has their own Kathleen Kennedy or Jennifer Salke?

I didn't know Her name is Laura Miele, and she's EA Entertainment & Technology President.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Miele

President of EA Entertainment, Technology & Central Development, where she oversees Electronic Arts' studios other than those responsible for its sports titles.

watched that yesterday; if thats true, thats crazy. I doubt his source is real though; he says he doesn't want to say who it is, but with the information he revealed, he can be easily found. Maybe the info is fake, though.

now he has to pay for his tranny meds.

Not be silly. Performative trans don't take meds; they don't even try and pass. Dude still got his full beard.
