Chipped away at my malaise enough to write a little something about the loss of BioWare and what it means to me, because if those teams had the strength to persevere through 19 years of Electronic Arts, I should be able to work past my grief to write a few words. giantbomb.com/users/14974/...

Games are made by people and game studios are made of people but game studios are also made of institutional knowledge, continuity, practices, standards, technology, resources, and IP. And those things do mean something, and it is a loss when they're discarded.

To honor one of the studios that defined PC gaming, we've republished more than 20 articles about BioWare today. The pcgamer.com homepage is dedicated to interviews, retrospectives, and making-ofs about some of the best RPGs of all time.

very few queet people in their 20s-30s in the bulk of gamer demographic that did not experience their first “canon” foundational queer romances in a BioWare rpg. devastating. just absolutely devastating.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

I am completely gutted. BioWare’s games were the reason behind so many of today’s game writers and narrative designers. BioWare’s absence leaves a huge hole in our industry and I don’t know when it’ll ever be filled

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it. Massive fucking bummer.

I can't begin to explain how important Bioware has been to my career, and to me as a person. What EA did to Bioware is criminal. It's just criminal. My heart, forever and always, goes to the devs present and past. You created wonders that will be beloved forever, and I'm so, so, so sorry 💔

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

What a strange and wonderful life it must be, to be good at parrying in video games.

🙏 i need recommendations for true horror (crime/supernatural) podcasts that just have 1 human (no AI) calmly reading out story submissions that are similat to Let’s Read, Kowabana, or any of the Eeriecast/Cryptic County podcasts, bc I’m running low on those & my brain cannot be alone as I do tasks

M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.

I still can’t believe it, but my Fulgrim art was thrown into an Ai and regurgitated like this, but a famous content creator nonetheless… It is so violanting to see a piece I’ve worked many hours on (and shared for free) being treated like this. I hate what the internet has become 😔

after two years of bargaining thanks to activision's stall tactics, unionized workers have authorized a strike. I spoke to them, as well as an ex-employee with disability issues who was basically forced out of the company due to the return-to-office policies the union has been trying to fight
