Damn......EA looks to have cleaned house.

The tweet:

"The Dragon Age franchise has been put on hold. A large portion of the writing staff behind Dragon Age The Veilguard has been laid off and won’t be working on Mass Effect 5. I really hope lessons were learned here, Mass Effect 5 needs to stylistically LOOK like Mass Effect and be subtle with its writing, Dragon Age died almost singlehandedly off the less realistic art style not hitting with long-time fans and clips of its “bad writing” going viral, if this happens again, BioWare won’t be around after ME5. Fingers crossed they nail it."


The writers should be fired for their bland and poor job, at the story and dialog.
Management and the stuff they pushed, should get the boot too tbh.
Even that guy that went on saying "he was not looking to hire dusty old white guys, and would hire people of color instead".
(thats discrimination on race)

Or the teams that went on tweeter and basically defended all this with the "if you don't like it, dont play it, this game isn't for you" (Tash viral clips)
(if you do divisive takes, you lose customers.... game makes less money = people get fired)

The LGBTQA+ stuff had a minor effect, imo.

The biggest issue... is it's just not a good game.

If you p*** all over your franchise fanbase, that want a turn based party RPG, set in a dark fantasy setting....
and give them a single party action game instead, set in a disney land..., this happends.

(your party members don't matter in this game, non of the dialog or combat stuff is meaningfull... they dumbed down the gameplay too much)

The franchise is dead now.
They need to wait 15-20 years and reboot it.
