BioWare is closing down.

Guess Dragon age Veilguard was shit after all, huh? lol

[u/tfc1193 → u/Paradox_insomnia]

Their last success was DA Inquisition. They have had 3 massive flops over the last 12 years sinking EA in likely hundreds of millions in unrecovered costs. You don't get to keep operating that way

[u/blackskies4646 → u/tfc1193]

Anthem could have been good but it was released just way too early.

[u/templar54 → u/Paradox_insomnia]

I remmeber all the coping people did about Veilguard sales numbers...

[u/Superb_Wealth4092 → u/templar54]

Bro, it wasn’t a flop! It “engaged” like a bazillion players! Chuds sabotaged it!

[u/Verraise-Mage → u/templar54]

I remember on release day the sub was bragging about 70k concurrent players at launch and owned the chuds.

Two months later and they were doomposting about how EA wouldn't even share the sales figures, only how many subscribers their service had,

[u/Illyasviel09 → u/Paradox_insomnia]

That game goes far beyond shit. You're insulting shit in fact

[u/LowLet9577 → u/Illyasviel09]

i feel like i wasted my unlimited data pirating that. allegedly

[u/Chudleyboy → u/Paradox_insomnia]

Return to form buddy

It's all right we got bg3 (which despite being far older) very much scratched had the DAO itch

Shame bioware constantly pushed towards more towards action gameplay

At least da2 and inquisition felt like dragon age in terms of story.. da v was sanitised preachy dogshit

[u/Vytral → u/Chudleyboy]

Returned to the form of andromeda and anthem for sure

[u/Blitzy_krieg → u/Paradox_insomnia]

Do 10 pull ups now!!!

[u/don_ninniku → u/Blitzy_krieg]

Ill do 10 str... Nvm

[u/pobredireitista → u/Blitzy_krieg]

[u/Rexigol → u/Paradox_insomnia]

Veilguard wasn't the reason, it was a symptom. It started with Anthem/Andromeda

[u/Imjusthonest2024 → u/Rexigol]

They buried themselves with that game and their stupid choices based on a pathological need to insert real life politic in the game. The result was obvious.

[u/Awful_At_Math → u/Rexigol]

I mean it wasn't the reason, but it was the last nail on their coffin. Had Dragon Age: Taylor's Version been a massive hit they would probably be working on ME5 instead of closing shop.

[u/ReaperAteMyPrawnsuit → u/Rexigol]

Anthem tbh wasn’t even that bad in fact it did a lot better than veil guard

Andromeda was technically profitable, anthem was a minor loss, and Veilguard underperformed by 50% because it sucks

If anthem next wasn’t denied by EA maybe it could’ve had a comeback, I honestly liked it more than destiny

[u/Adventurous_Wave_806 → u/Paradox_insomnia]

One of the most banal things ever created.

[u/Maleficent_Trick_502 → u/Paradox_insomnia]

It was made for people who don't play rpgs. The story was infantilized so the original audience refused to touch it.

[u/Lepelotonfromager → u/Paradox_insomnia]

All the delusional defenders of that dogshit will just quiet now and move on to some other franchise that they can ruin.

[u/Imjusthonest2024 → u/Paradox_insomnia]

To this day some wankers keep saying it was a success...

[u/sebastophantos → u/Paradox_insomnia]

What a kind thing to say.

[u/FureiousPhalanges → u/Paradox_insomnia]

Redfall was shit too but I still had a great time playing that when it first released

[u/GrimGrinningGoof → u/Paradox_insomnia]

Cut scene. Fight. Cut scene. Fight. Cut scene, cut scene… the latest Dragon Age was such a disappointment. I was one of my favorite series of games.

[u/TheZorkas → u/Paradox_insomnia]

let's not act like high sales numbers make studios immune from being shut down lol

[u/Pun_In_Ten_Did → u/Paradox_insomnia]

Dragon Age: Veilgard is a good game... it's just not a good Dragon Age game.

[u/violesada → u/Pun_In_Ten_Did]

i understand this idea but that honestly does not matter in the slightest. it carries the dragon age name, it has to be a good dragon age game or it is a poor product. and even then, you can argue it's one of the weakest rpgs made from bioware.
