Ubisoft is going under, will BioWare be next after this game releases?

[Mythical Ostrich]

Flop after flop, it's not good for business. EA is ready to pull the plug I think.

This game doesn't even understand the very fundamentals of what Role-Playing means. Self insert is the complete polar opposite of what a Role-Playing Game is.

You can roleplay as the developers silly

So yeah things look super bad for Ubi

Think it's also important to highlight just how much fans have pushed back and changed the landscape. Good sign in my opinion as to who actually holds the power here.

While I agree... can we please stop posting asmon clips? That guy feels like a clown half the time.

I'm not even a fan of Asmon but can you please not be triggered by people. Take away what's important and leave the rest...it's really not difficult. If people are that distracted from what's important and have to be spoon fed in a way that they can only see the things that pleases them.....that's a bigger issue.

Which is why it is not Dragon Age.

I hope that Ubisoft goes under. Ubisoft has become the biggest clown company out there. Go woke, go broke.

Most of the flops have been due to EA executives themselves, converting a single player RPG dev team to live service was ALWAYS and awful decision.
Then after 6 years with a lot of your talent leaving Bioware converting back and expecting them to magically pump out a Stella game is just dumb.

They also keep moving away from the audience that made bioware great- the very same audience that made BG3 a success.

EA executives need to look in the mirror before pointing figures at bioware.

The next dragon age game or mass effect game needs to be taking huge inspiration from BG3. Branching paths, actual choice and consequences, a dynamic world that changes based on your choices.
It is no secret what RPG fans want, and what we find important.

To me Veilguard looks like it was made on the cheap. If you look at what BG3 did for under $100 million Veilguard does not look like it had a budget any where near that.

Ubisoft going under is exciting! Hopefully the worlds most hated company, EA, also joins that club.

EA has about $2.3 Billion, yes Billion!, in the bank - not counting assets or money people owe EA, not counting buildings or stock but cash in the bank.

The chances of EA going bankrupt are so insignificantly small it is utterly ridiculous to even suggest it. Then we are not even talking about the FC games (once called FIFA), and Madden.

FIFA 22 Sold 9 million, the very next year FIFA 23 sold 10.2 Million, and FC 24 (FIFA renamed) sold 11 million in the first few weeks - this football game is a licence to print money. And because it is outdated in a year 95% of the sales are at full price.

Ubisoft and Electronic Arts Bioware wont go under in any way that makes sense, they have been running a charity giving away all their money and talent, or worse just losing and wasting it.

Thats a fact and an important fact.

Western companies that actually earn money dont need these things going on. Dont need mental health professionals (that should get real jobs) desperately looking for money in home entertainment video games even more so, dont need alot of things going on.

Anyway nothing to worry about things are going to change big time, western companies cant afford to be carrying so much trash on their back, as simple as that.

I try to be cheerful and nice in my comments but it isnt easy with so much stupid going on.

One person working at a coffee shop in the morning is earning more money than entire massive bankrupt industries all by himself or herself for reference, its math.

[Flippy]

Its not all bad competitor companies on different continents learning new technology are helped with all that going on but if to much is ruined and lost in the west then it isnt good.

Thats just the way things work.

Like i said a couple comments ago in another topic, industries and all those things take 50 years to actually turn around and become competitive, in some ways anyway, in the real modern world, its all very complicated.

Really interesting how things go.

Yeah, that's sad to hear. My hope is that their insatiable greed will go the way of Jack Welsh and GE and cause the company to implode at some point in the near future.

TAKE.

MY.

POINTS.

Seriously, thank you. It's nice to see there's at least one other person out there who actually knows what an RPG is. It seems we're not just a dying breed, but almost extinct in 2024.

All this talk of representation IN AN RPG just completely splits my head in half. Morons.
