#Anthem is dead: the greatest #Bioware game ever supposed to be re-launched after its initial failure, but after a few years the studio is still unable to make anything that looks like a game:

Mark Darrah (ex. Executive Producer of #Bioware) talks about the making of #DragonAge 2 and Inquisition #RPG

About their search of an open-world compatible engine, competition with #Skyrim, and the rush to deal with issues that were too big to rush, but have to be done quickly just to keep the series alive.

Mark Darrah confessed in his new video that in 2000 #Valve reached out to #Bioware and tried to build a partnership for the platform where people can download games and update them easily from the internet.

Bioware rejected this idea as something impossible and pointless. Yes, Bioware could be a co-owner of #Steam, but they were too conservative for it!

There were like five game shows during the last two weeks. There are probably 100+ trailers overall and I can't watch all of that, so here you go: Dragon Age!

In about 15 hours I'm gonna be excited or disappointed: make your bet!

Dragon Age The Veilguard is an action #RPG instead of a tactical RPG. People criticized the tactical camera in Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition, so #Bioware got it all as "make it a pure action combat"

It doesn't look bad but doesn't look Dragon Age anymore.

#EA

Surprisingly, #EA and #Bioware launched a massive blog post about Dragon Age PC features. And it's not a typical "ray tracing bullshit" — instead they explained controls, settings, features, and optimization. I'm flattered!

And you know what: it's Steam native with cloud saves, Deck verified, and EA account is OPTIONAL. I mean, no preorders but I'm buying after the release 😄

Even Ray Tracing is mentioned wisely: there are several presets, including the usage of it in selected areas where it makes sense.

The media accused EA and BioWare in selective media access, where only people who were exceptionally positive during the September playtest got early keys:

Dragon Age The Veilguard keeps growing on Steam, staying in the first place of top sellers. It's also officially the highest ever concurrent player number for the #BioWare game on #Steam (just surpassed 69,400).

Meanwhile, BioWare faced restructuring or as they called it "an update"! People were moved from the studio to other EA businesses. Some were just dismissed with the chance to apply for other roles (but without clarity about their future).

Like... how about no? Jeez, this wasn't the problem, Andrew! Look at Baldur's Gate 3, Wukong, and many other examples without multiplayer.

Imagine the whole BioWare sitting there, brainstorming, and like: you know, he's gonna be a supportive neutral character in the next game!

The god of his people, the protector and traitor, who now wants to restore the legacy of a whole race... is gonna be a furniture and come in visions instead.

The phenomenally good final DLC of Dragon Age Inquisition, setting an unimaginable conflict in motion and they simply scrapped all of it for veilguard to become safe, cute, and bland.

BioWare has been shut down. And about 400 jobs were just cut in EA as a whole. The company lasted for 31 year and brought us the amazing Dragon Age and Mass Effect. The upcoming Mass Effect game has been cancelled because of the closure.

The dawn will not come...

BioWare were not informed in advance and were posting new job openings YESTERDAY.

Here's Mass Effect 5 trailer by the way (it's cancelled and scrapped). According to the rumors, BioWare were dismantled after showing it to the higher ups. This is not a PUBLIC trailer but a special one made for stakeholders to get the idea.

The last name of the Kotaku author adds up, but EA, that was a really dick move...
