I can guarantee that people will blame BioWare’s closure on “wokeness” no matter what

Second Wind

Yup. This video is to educate people that aren't dumb enough to fall for that.

Blindman

Wait!7 Owlcat Studios, the people that brought the first two Pathfinder games and Warhammer, are products of BioWare employees. That's awesome man. By the way check out the first two Pathfinder games and the Warhammer game. It's really good.

Insomnia Inc

I think I knew about the owlcat connection but made me happy to see, Bioware's legacy will outlive the company, bunch of super talented people that I hope find new spots out there.

Yeah, putting aside that “woke” is such a nebulous term that it can mean anything, progressiveness in games and the drama surrounding it is more free advertising than anything else. For every person that doesn’t buy the game because of something quote-unquote “woke”, you have someone who will. I think a lot of the talent just left and, with it, a lot of the writing chops.

Colonel Sandurz

Oh, rest assured, it's begun. YouTube suggested a video to me the other day with a thumbnail contrasting the default male Commander Shepard on the left with a blue-haired elf character on the right (who I presume is from Veilguard), captioned something like "The Downfall of Bioware."

Jason Youngberg

Thanks for this video. When I read about the closer on mmorpg.com there was someone blaming "woke" for it. I swear, every other sentence had "woke" "left" "trans" in it at least once.

BlueAversion

Which I found both exhausting and ironic. If Mass Effect 1, 2 or 3 released today they would also be called ‘woke’ given various bits of content in them.

Davsau

I think Rogue Trader might be the first Warhammer game that emphasizes how horrifying that universe is.

Bastille

Really cool this aliens I like the details and do realistic

Bastille

This is so cool this is spaceship

Nico Lauermann

They made crappy games and ultimately had to close because of it end of story lmao
