Because if they're shuttered, the company/people that make the company have the opportunity to go somewhere else and do something better. I've disliked everything they've produced since they were purchased by EA, so I've come to think the publisher holds them back.

I mean the last Bioware game I played and enjoyed start to finish was Dragon Age: Origins, so... /shrug.

I accept that ME2 was a good game, but I couldn't get into it. It felt too much like a shooter, too little like an RPG for me. And don't get me started on DA2. "ANOTHER WAVE!" and character customization being kneecapped, or completely removed in the case of your party members, left me quitting it after some 3-4 hours.

Inquisition was okay, but I still lost interest after some 6-8 hours. It wasn't "bad," but it was still an okay game wearing a good games skin.

Bioware losing the creative freedom to explore characters outside of the mainstream that the saudi's are going to permit them to write/create is a real problem. As a marker of political freedom of expression and as a stance against the fucking fascists that are rapidly encroaching on people's rights, this is a huge step in the wrong direction. But I won't mourn any specific games. Honestly, I hope they get axed, so they are given the opportunity to go indie and/or get picked up by a better producer/studio.

The last Bioware game I genuinely enjoyed was Dragon Age: Origins, which was the last thing (mostly) developed before the EA buy-up. I'm sure it's scary for the employees, but I suspect this is good for Bioware in the long term.

and the Switch port was (apparently) never fixed...

What's the supposed issues on the Switch port? I only owned the game on Switch, and I didn't have any issues playing through it.

I'm not convinced this is worse than being publically traded. Now instead of being beholden to faceless investors who only care about number go up, it's one specific owner? I mean, considering who it is, it isn't better. But I struggle to imagine it as worse.

Doesn't matter, I'll still either avoid their games or pirate.

I'm already playing Hades 2 and FF Tactics comes out tomorrow.

So that, I guess, then probably nothing. /shrug.

Steam sales lose their luster when they're so frequent.

An absolute masterpiece of a game. What starts off as a "cute rhythm game" very rapidly evolves into some of the most immaculate gameplay design and in-game storytelling I have ever seen. I "joke" often than the final boss is the tears in your eyes, but it's a lot less of a joke than you would imagine.

If you like rhythm games, emotional storys and ludonarrative harmony, I cannot recommend this game enough.

I feel like this has to be a joke. There's a reason Lemmy has a bad wrap for being infested with Tankies, and it starts with Dessalines.

The destruction of the institute of sexual sciences is in fact one of the earliest crimes the Nazi party committed after taking power.

It's one of my favorite pieces of trivia to bust out when chuds try to pretend that being transgender is a "the last 20 years" modern creation. No, your fascist ilk just kept destroying the records of it existing prior, but we know better now.

I repeat, "fucking .ml." Don't you have other genocides to be denying right now?

Even if everything you said is completely accurate, and I suspect it's not, two genocides is worse than one. Take your whataboutisms, and don't let the door hit your fascist ass on the way out.

I love that we can both agree that you're not worth having a conversation with.
