Oh yeah. Remember, it is sink or swim for Bioware with this game. If this game does bad it is more than likely EA will finally shutter their studio. After the first trailer's backlash they are in damage control mode and are trying to salvage things.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.

This game needs to sell well above 10m copies just to break even, there's no way bioware is going to get close to the sales EA wants.

I think a lot of people overestimate how many copies of major games are sold and underestimate the cost of making them, last I checked spiderman 2 still hasn't broken even which is one of the major reasons sony releases their games on PC now.

Google says DA:I sold around 6 million copies, and ME: Andromeda around 4-5 million copies.

With 10 years of development time and over 400 employees, not to mention outsourcing and hiring DEI consultancy agencies, this game maybe one of the most expensive games ever made. I have a feeling that this game may have cost over 200-300 million to make. Remember, Baldur's Gate 3 only cost 100 million to make and sold well over 10 million copies. Bioware needs this game to do better than Baldur's Gate 3 to break even. That is an impossible task.rusty_shackleford wrote: β June 11th, 2024, 21:16This game needs to sell well above 10m copies just to break even, there's no way bioware is going to get close to the sales EA wants.

Anthem? Anthem lost money. In fact I think all Bioware games after DA:I has lost money. Anthem, Andromeda and now this turd.

From what I hear EA constantly had Bioware change the development for this game numerous times in order to chase whatever was the trend at the moment. Rumors have it that they wanted the game to be a live service.rusty_shackleford wrote: β June 11th, 2024, 21:30DA4's development got briefly paused due to siphoning devs from this to work on Anthem, it also got restarted multiple times.

Likes had a huge advantage because people who actually watched this **** live are bio drones.
Now that normies are filtering in it's barreling out.
Not sure if it'll hit disaster tier levels of the reveal trailer but this is far from "good" either.

Biodrones are coping hard right now on Twitter. It is actually quite hilarious how these people based their personality on a ****** corporation and their products.

It is just another Disney angle. They know the people don't want this crap, but they seem to be punishing gamers because most gamers are white males.

What they don't realize is for some people, this is not demoralizing, it just builds a complete disgust for the offenders by many who didn't really have an opinion before.
I haven't figured out what their angle is. It seems to me if you wanted to control the people, you would give them what they want so they are all absorbed into gaming, movies, etc... and not paying attention to the politics. Instead, more and more people are waking up to the politics, and getting pretty **** ****** about it (The anger against ***/*****/race crap is getting extremely volatile). It seems odd to want to rile up the enemy before you start pulling the commie oppression card. Maybe I just don't understand modern psychological war tactics, but the last thing I would want to do before I walk into a room of people I need to subdue is **** them all off.
I have come to believe that Varric caused all of this and is making his ****** novel fan-fictions, reason why he is in all the bad Dragon Age games and the narrator of them.

I don't get this ******** "wake up" meme glowies always shill. All its going to do is give normies more **** to make fun of and not take seriously. real life is not like the movies where all of a sudden people jump up to overthrow the corrupt government or whatever other pipedream the speaker thinks is going to happen.

I can't wait for the next game crash. I'm getting hard thinking of it. All game studios just stop existing. No more man chin women. No more marvel dialogue. Just delicious game developer tears. I'd love a collage of sad game dev layoff posts after bioware closes. I thought they'd die after Andromeda.
