It's funny, really, because Dragon Age (excluding DAtV) is overall a better quality series than Mass Effect:
DAO is a masterpiece followed by DA2 (mid) and DAI (good),
ME1 is a masterpiece followed by ME2 (which is *at best* on DA2's level) and ME3 which is abysmal dogshit

The right, who promised years of lead 2.0 after Charlie Kirkβs death, one year later:
That's really unfair. It might've been an honest mistake, but knowing what we know about the conflicts within the studio, it looks pretty toxic.
I know I'm going to be crucified for this but, while it is true that bad management from EA was a major factor, BioWare had a fundamentally unworkable internal culture that was bound to blow it up sooner or later.
It's a massive loss, but one that in hindsight seems inevitable.

still so so glad EA pushed so hard for BioWare to turn from the single player RPGS they were renowned for and try and move towards live service games instead, like genuinely what the fuck were they thinking
Giving DA to Larian would be a horrible decision. We're talking about a studio that folded and rewrote (for the worse) significant parts of BA3 due to fan "feedback".
Can you imagine them having to deal with a fandom as "passionate" as the DA one?
If Mass Effect and Dragon Age can be sold, I hope they will be.
These would be my ideal picks:
Mass Effect ---> Owlcat Games
Dragon Age ---> Larian Studios
The problem is, I'm not sure why two busy thriving studios like these would want another IP they didn't create themselves, especially ones that have likely been rung dry of any remaining juice. Larian has actively removed themselves from something like this already by leaving Baldur's Gate for their own Divinity.
As terrible as it is, if either of these legendary IP are resurrected, it'll most likely be by a huge passionless entity that only sees dollar signs.
It's true that saying this while having a βοΈ in your bio is pretty funny, but people making fun of them should also understand that a lot of modern mainline Christianity is (from an atheist perspective) much more reasonable than astrology.

Total War: Shogun 2's 'enhanced' version removes original, is buggy, kneecaps mod support and has dogshit AI art:

It's even worse in FotS. I'm taking back my Paradox comparison. No corpo other than CA would be this shameless.
This whole drama is interesting primarily because it's a perfect example of fandom brainrot.
IRL, WLW is much more prevalent, but in fandom spaces the proportions are skewed toward MLM (largely because of women, funnily enough), causing a completely warped perception of reality.
They also seem to have used AI to upgrade the unit card illustrations.
The last time I saw a corpo being this shameless when it came to releasing absolute slop was Pdx with Leviathan back in 2021.

the fact that this colleen hoover booktok-bolstered film swept the box office the same weekend that warner brosβ final film, which is about the weakness of art and how truly blind we are to the destruction around us, feels deeply poetic and sad.
It's very clear that Marx did not see religion as any kind of valid medicine considering that the "opium of the people" quote is followed by this:
"The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness"
