Dragon Age FAILguard devs shitcanned - now normies are full force turning on Bioware as had been post Fallout 76/Starfield with Bethesda - no longer a divisive consensus about the quality of the game, normies in agreement the game sucks, and these staggering layoffs less than 3 months after launch, indicate total failure.

I know I am late af but I just gotta mention that I got permabanned from pcgaming for this comment in reply to some guy calling people "weird" for "celebrating" the failure of dragon age trainguard, figured with all the chuddy comments this would be no big deal but alright :

I am celebrating this because I believe that the AAA gaming industry deserves a massive crash. The industry has completely lost the fricking plot, and I won't be emotionally blackmailed with shit like, "but think about all the job losses!" I'm truly over it.

All the microtransactions/season passes/general scummy monetization, increasing the prices from 60 to 70 to 80 and now possibly 100 with GTA6, day 1 patches (that still inevitably leave these expensive games buggy on launch) and absurd file sizes, dumbing the gameplay of every beloved franchise down, an absolute deluge of generic open-world slop that take massive resources that could be utilized to make actual good games, trying to force "live service" into every godforsaken nook and cranny, the list is truly endless. For many people, the too-online leftist/unironic communist activists now pushing their ideologies in the narratives of fan-favorite franchises was the final straw. [editor's note: the previous sentence was definitely what got me banned lmao]

These corporations jumped the shark long ago and need a painful reality check, and I'm hoping that this the death knell for these massive corps. We'll be fine, there are countless AA and indie studios putting out solid shit, give them the limelight in the market.
