Im asking a lot,in these times but please don’t be a let down.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

That would be amazing. A Star Trek game like ME2, but where you can design your own ship and hire your crew.

Why hasn't somebody thought of this yet?

They sort of did. There was that video game that tied into Into Darkness where the main enemy is the Gorn.

 

[Gp1]

If restructuring = fire every single soul and outsource the game to someone like Larian or CDPR, it could work.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Get ready for they/them Liara lecturing Shepard about what a toxic white male he is

 

[TintoConCasera]

Honestly I would rather have a Conrad Verner spinoff by oldBioware than anything nuBioware could be capable of making.

 

[EN250]

BioWare on borrowed time if Mass Effect doesn't hit. This is it. Check your retarded woke shit at the door, idiots.

They should be thankful they had so many chances, but I don't think they'll survive if ME flops/underperform because I don't think they have it in them to make it a good game (not even thinking about greatness here) in the first place

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

My dream of a mass effect tactics game is going to die when this game flops.


Mass effect is the perfect series for a tactics game with all the classes and powers.

After Andromeda and all the DEI hufflepuff...

Will it be called Mass Effect Androginous?

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Too little too late, its going to suck.

 

[Drake]

I have zero faith that ME 5 will be good after the woke, DEI slop, piece of shit Veilguard was. These people cannot help themselves. ME 5 will be woke, it will be awful and it'll be the final death knell of the studio. Good riddance.

News just broke on social media that Bioware just layed off staff an hour ago. This includes Trick Weekes, the lead writer on Veilguard, among others.

Trick Weekes (@trickweekes.bsky.social)

I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

So, my time at BioWare has ended. It was a wild ride with some fantastic people, but it’s time to look for new challenges. I’m an Editor / Writer with 26+ years of experience across video games, novels, short stories, newspapers, and marketing comms. If you know of a good fit, please let me know.

No amount of cuts can save Bioware as long as they have the likes of "The Professor" still working there.

If anyone's keen for a laugh, check out the comments.

 

[StereoVsn]

My expectations are really low for ME5....

My expectations for ME5 are lower than my chance of buying a 5090FE at launch!

 

[ReBurn]

What are the chances bioware has learned from their mistakes?

I think there's a better chance papa EA learned from BioWare's mistake, which is why they're "restructuring" the team. Hopefully the new structure organizes colored hair and half shaved heads out the door.

 

[CrustyBritches]

1 and 2 were my favorite games at the time, but it's time to accept that BioWare is dead and any new ME game would be woke garbo.

Hilarious! Weekes is actually out. Wow. And all of those laid off people are posting on BlueSky. It’s so fucking poetic.

EA is clearing out the rot. Hopefully they had a come to Jesus meeting with whoever is left on their expectations for Mass Effect.

Surely someone in the Bluesky safe space will offer work to these people. Who wouldn't want writers and editors of Veilguard's calibre on their game?

3/4 of them have pronouns. Says a lot about the rot.

 

[AJUMP23]

They need a complete rewrite of whatever has been done and I bet their big bad in this game is space trump. Story is probably about immigration.

They should get someone like the original writer to write this game.

 

[Kacho]

Hopefully the Mass Effect writers remember to consult Lara Kate Dale.

[Fbh]

"We have incredible talent here at Bioware.... I mean we haven't released a good game in over a decade, but trust me the talent is off the charts here!!!"

Just shut them down. Another crappy ME is just going to be painful. At least Andromeda had the decency of being set in another galaxy with new characters. This one though will apparently shit all over the original trilogy. I guess ruining the original ME cast will be their final goodbye.

 

[Mister Wolf]

They just lost their ass with Veilguard. EA not messing around right now.

 

[chakadave]

If they clean house and reboot the game and the series that would be cool. I still crave going back to ME1 and 2. And still haven't played the remaster. So I will look forward to those someday. Maybe on Switch 2.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Better make sure the female characters, human and alien are hot. Or you can listen to all of the feminists you hired, and let them destroy your company that took decades to build.

Yep and no DEI at all

But you know they gonna to double down

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Someone on the DAV subreddit had the gall to suggest Larian hire her. If that even looks like happening I'm flying to Belgium to stop it myself.

 

[Brigandier]

This is going to be the biggest DEI LGBTQ+×÷=/_<>[]!@#£%^&*()-'":;,?., woke blue haired landwhale green haired goblin non binary ass fucking infested pile of steaming Rhinoceros shit since.... Dragon Age purpley purple edition.

Jokes aside BioWare are finished, It's stereotyping but the saying go woke go broke really does hit hard with this development studio and publisher, Maybe it's for the best.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Bioware going scorched earth.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I say this as a Jewish dude who has a transgender woman friend/roomie....

Please, please chill out with the idpol and politics and "modern audience" crap and just make a good game.

Hopefully they learned.

Papa EA has been a merciful parent, now its time to kill bioware and redirect those funds to EAFC.

[Pimpbaa]

Hell at this point they’d need to fire everyone at BioWare and replace them…except for Larry the janitor, he does a pretty good job at cleaning the toilets there.

 

[Firestartah]

They just fired Patrick Weekes, the lead writer for Veilguard. I am now officially hyped for the next Mass Effect. Lets go Mike Gamble and Preston Watamaniuk.

 

[Firestartah]

We're so back fam. (obviously wish these people nothing but the best in their life, I just wanted them to stay away from the next Mass Effect)
