A handful of BioWare employees have revealed they are afraid of losing their jobs and for the future of the studio following its parent company, Electronic Arts, going private as part of a $55 billion deal.This Substack is reader-supported.
I always did good work. I still worried about losing my job because of some stupid whim of an executive. I decided to retire because of one of those stupid executive ideas, but at least I already had over 30 years in.
Mass Effect is the next failure "everyone is waiting for" and will be the "greatest ever" (flop).
The developers of ME stated on Bluesky around inauguration that they would be bringing the fight against Trump into the newest Mass Effect in development.
How's that really going to work out for them?
But... there are still low-IQ players blind enough that they're "holding out hope" that these TDS septum-rings will finally "learn a lesson" and make a game that isn't about their idiotic gender struggles.
Note the teaser of Shepard. Sexy, androgynous walk on a gender-fluid figure. I swear that if I had blinked, I woulda seen Baphomet.
No thanks.
And I hope all those portfolio-padders never find work again. Harsh? Too bad.
Loosing your job sucks and I can appreciate the anxiety. But honestly, if you were working for Bioware, after the disaster that was Veilguard and with every indication that Mass Effect is going to be the same slop, you should have started looking for a new job at a different studio months ago.
If their product, a video game, was a failure, then they should be worried about losing their jobs. If the product makes no money, why would a company keep you? Mayhaps they should learn to code.
I hate corpspeak! Instead of 'challenging themselves to think deeply about delivering the best experience to our fans' (who they don't care about) I can solve their problems without deep thinking - no more LGBT woke crap in games! Simple!
I'm happy to see the regular workaday folk there keep their jobs, but whoever drove the company to put trans propaganda in the game needs to be sent to the lithium mines.
I also worry about lossing my job, when I don't do good work.

They/Them are afraid of losing their jobs?
Good.
People who suck at their jobs should lose them, and everyone at modern AAA studios objectively suck.
