There was no reason to expect that today's BioWare could produce something within their famous IP worth the budget it would take to make. They've had a decade of catastrophic investment. Contemporary morality and writing have declined drastically, either systematically or by company choice. BioWare's writing team hasn't escaped this curse. When you're known for worldbuilding, having subpar writers is a death sentence.
That's not unpacking his comment. Poor writing has nothing to do with wokeness. Bioware hasn't been failing for Decades. It started a single decade ago. I'm also not sure what you mean by morality, what does that have anything to do with this conversation and what sort of metric even is there?
I attempted to explain in detail what he meant. That's unpacking the comment. I don't know if there's a simpler way for you to understand that.
Poor writing has nothing to do with wokeness.
lol, ok. It has everything to do with its controversy. It's not like there's ample evidence of public opinion to draw from or anything. Because you locked in a definition doesn't mean that's what everyone else thinks, and what everyone else thinks matters here.

Reddit pedantry that has no point except to call out a discrepancy, which wasn't in my statement: "They've had a decade of catastrophic investment."

Strong writing has moral messaging. Morality can be debated and ranked, depending on how logical and practical it is.
You're really bad at this. I hope you're pretending to be confused; otherwise good lord, you should not be debating.
I understood it loud and clear, you didn't really provide anything of substance in addition.
please provide said ample evidence. I never locked in a definition. I don't know anyone that uses the term to know the definition.
there is a point, you correct what you wrote. Clarifies a statement. Those weren't all Bioware's decisions. EA made many of them.
weak writing has moral messaging. Well crafted story isn't about the morals, it's about how they're expressed and the narrative techniques used to get there. Morality can be whatever the story wants it to be. Whatever the message is. This has no bearing on good or bad... Whatever that even means to you.
bad at what? You made baseless and vague statements and are now choosing to hurl insults instead of putting money where your mouth is.
Also, I'm not debating, I made a comment calling out a neck beard and I stand by that. You came in with a nothing burger comment that I asked you to elaborate on. You proceeded to make even more nothing burger vague statements and here we are. Add the insult as the cherry on top because your kind can't think of anything better when they feel boxed in.
Good luck with life, and for goodness sake USE YOUR WORDS. SUBSTANTIATE. That's how you debate, not just make vague claims.

Goddamn.. an industry legend in the dirt. Its not like this was a total surprise but I did think EA would give them one last shot.
