A former BioWare employee claims the studio was asked to remove a flag from a presentation for the canceled Mass Effect Universe project because it looked too much like the LGBTQIA+ flag.
The employee said the new management wasn’t convinced by the project:
“I think the video proposals we presented to the new management weren’t convincing.”
They also said BioWare being known for inclusive storytelling “didn’t help to dispel the skepticism.”
One specific example involved a flag in a presentation video. The team was asked to remove it because it was:
“looking too much like the LGBTQIA+ flag”
The reason given was reportedly:
“not to offend.”

Don’t Nod, the studio that made “Life is Strange,” hired former games journalist Leigh Alexander to write on their sci-fi game “Aphelion.” Leigh Alexander wrote the famous “Gamers are over” article during GamerGate in 2014.
Don’t Nod makes narrative-focused adventure games, so the story and writing are especially important in determining the success or failure of a game like “Aphelion.”
“Aphelion” was a game with a production budget of about $10 million and Don’t Nod was a studio with 85 full-time employees whose livelihoods were dependent on the success of the game.
On Steam, “Aphelion” peaked at just 219 users, and is estimated to have sold between 4000 and 7000 copies on the platform. Today, the studio closed and everyone is fired.
There have been over 37,000 layoffs and jobs lost to studio closures in the video games industry since 2024. Game designers like Leigh Alexander believe they get to decide who their audiences are, but they don’t.
They have to make games that appeal to gamers, because gamers are the only people who reliably buy games. Whoever “Aphelion” was for, that audience didn’t show up to play it.

I’ve worked as a janitor in a massive Fortune 500 company’s headquarters for the last 25 years (nepo hire). For the first ten years I worked at the company the men’s room was always clean and easy to maintain. Worst you would get is maybe a couple of drops of piss dribble in front of the urinals from careless shakes, some shit stains in the bowls from greasy shits on the IT floor when they had been pulling all nighters and living off pizza, or soap in the counter when someone got overenthusiastic with the pump.
The women’s bathroom was always the bane of my existence because they would flush sanitary products, cause plugs, and would continue to use the plugged toilet until a mountain of shit and piss formed. That began to change about a decade ago when an Indian guy got hired in C suite, and slowly we started getting Indian managers on all floors. It started with unflushed shitters, but as more and more of them came in it steadily got worse. What used to be a gross, but ultimately low stress reasonably paying job has become a nightmare. The IT floor is the absolute worst.
They will not sit on the toilet and instead stand on the seat to squat. They frequently have explosive diarrhea, which, combined with their habit of squatting, means shit splatters on the seat, floors, and walls. They do not even attempt to clean the mess they made which means the next guy to stand and squat ends up stepping in their assblast and tracking it all over the floor when he walks out of the stall. They wipe with their hands and not the provided paper, I know this because finding shit covered handprints sliding down the walls of the stall is now a daily occurrence.
For some reason, despite not washing their hands near as I can tell, they frequently break open the soap dispenser and steal the giant bags of soap they are connected to. My team and I are the only non-IT employees who will enter the IT floor now, and the turnover is so high that I can’t get a single FNG to stay more than a month. I am considering leaving myself after a quarter century and my entire employment history being with this one company. I am in hell and it smells like feces & microwaved curry.

I can tell you exactly what will happen if Democrats regain power: They will use your money to fly deported illegal aliens back to America and pay them settlements. They will re-open our borders and ship millions of foreign people to any community they want. And they won't stop until America becomes an unrecognizable country.

BioWare is in the news, so I want to repeat:
THIS FORUM is why your games are shit.
They operate a coercive industry mafia.
You need an acc here to get a job.
You need to give them your real name.
If you go against them they will blacklist you.
Hate modern games? Start here.

I live in a small town. A really small town. We don’t even have a major grocery store. Just a mom and pop one. It’s the kind of town that by 8 pm everything is closed and nothing but the gas stations and the pharmacy are open on Sunday and Monday.
During the Biden admin we were over run by immigrants. They were put in housing, given cash, free health care, there were “groups” of teens walking the streets at night and our schools were over run. They were also the rudest people I’ve ever run into.
They are gone. There are houses for rent again, the one apt place we have has openings, our schools are functioning again, there’s no groups of people roaming our streets during the night….its back to being a small town.
I do not want them back. I will be forever grateful to Trump for getting them out.

Been a while since I made a @NickJFuentes edit.
Got good feedback on Instagram so figured I’d post it here too.
