"competition fosters diversity"

the diversity:

On one hand I'm sad that a good team with some good games under them is closing down. On the other hand I'm glad that the BioWare team isn't going to be making games for the Saudis so hopefully someone decent picks up the team and the IPs in future.

Well, at this point BioWare was just a brand and who knows, maybe they saved us from the next bad Mass Effect.

EA really is such a parasitic company and one of the most emblematic of capitalism I’ve ever seen. Everything from it’s constant need for acquisition to it’s septic figureheads who look like literal Mafia bosses with slicked back hair, a company that just seems procedurally generated from the capitalist algo

RIP. Maxis, Westwood, and now this.

More thankful than ever these days for Owlcat, who has largely been BioWare as I remember them for a decade now.

Another one bytes the dust.
