Since EA announced the closure of BioWare and the cancellation of Mass Effect Universe some REALLY interesting people have been attached to the project that we didn't know about. It was going to be so cool.🙃 #masseffect 🟥: youtu.be/h3mczi_fLog

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

Alright. My plan is to release the re-scored Mass Effect Universe trailer for N7 Day. A little tight, since I'm a bit busy pitching for a new game, but I'll see what I can do! I don't wanna rush it, and I want it to properly represent my musical vision for MEU.

Saudi Private Equity that burdened EA with $18 Billion in debt. EA closed BioWare, & laid off over 400 employees. EA needs to pay $1.8 BILLION in interest payments every year. EA announced $700 million operation costs reductions. Yet Andrew Wilson still gets $38.6 million a YEAR! #BioWare #EA

As a local game dev community rep in Edmonton; creatives never loose their desire to create and if you take a chance on them it can make something big. All devs need is to feel safe to swing without fear of being homeless and you'd see an explosion in creative businesses starting up.

19 years ago, an ambitious dream to bring an iconic book series into the world of video games came to life with the release of The Witcher. It was the start of an unforgettable path, which wouldn't have been possible without our friends at BioWare.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

One thing about #SaveMassEffect: What really sucks & cannot be undone is all the folks at BioWare who lost their jobs. Even if EA licensed the IP, that doesn't solve anything for them. 😕 Someone with a lotta cash would have to license it AND hire the team.

The closest I’ll ever get to being up in lights in Times Square That phrase isn’t Keelah Se’Lai It’s the Quarian phrase I created for #MassEffect Annihilation. The name of my ship Not “by the homeworld I hope to see one day” but “by the homeworld I hope to find one day” I have a lot of feelings…

@michaeltuckerla.bsky.social Hey, sorry to hear about what happened at Bioware. We are heartbroken. Love your work, been following your channel for years now. But the community has started a petition to save the work you've done. #SaveMassEffect Thank you for your hard work, love you all <3

A group of Mass Effect content creators and fans have purchased a billboard for the #savemasseffect movement. It's allegedly next to EAs headquarters.

In a tough week for Mass Effect fans we may have another knife twist. An insider claims that BioWare's next game may have been much deeper in development than most ever imagine with a potential release date in 2028.🙃 #masseffect 🟥: youtu.be/4dbIBpuO9ic

I was a part of the SaveTheExpanse project! part of the reason it worked, I think, is that the cast and crew (i.e., the workers) were a part of it too. But also, probably most importantly...apparently Jeff Bezos was a fan. 🫩
