Explain the fall of Bioware without saying "diversity hires"

diversity hires
EA
low IQ Canadians

All the competent people left long ago.

they lost most of their best employees and then EA made them make games with a very short deadline.

Literally EA. The founders who always ran the company since it started left a few months after the EA deal went through. They sold out.

Seems to be a common element of the founders or pioneers jumping ship after the first game, the second game getting some fresh blood but the overall theme and gameplay are improved (there might be one or two art style changes and a lore inconsistency). The third game goes scorched earth.

So what if theyre all good? Which they were btw. Just like From Software for example, because they might have other properties beside Sark Souls, but nobody cares about any of that shit. Its only about Dark Souls for them. Unlike From though, Bioware got infected by the sjw virus, AFTER EA started their downfall.

/this.
this fucking homo queer is right. EA is a load of homo queers tryna pass off homo queer story lines to my VERY MUCH NOT HOMO QUEER children. EA wants nothing more than to make my very homo queer children even MORE homo queer. What in the FucK.

Their writing lost the charm it used to have, and so any game that couldn't coast on waifus and husbandos was revealed for being dogshit.

It's really as simple as that. Their stories were never good, they just had a decent mix of player dick-sucking by both the plot and the characters. If that mixture was off, and the game had to be judged independently of that factor, it flopped like the brain dead garbage it was.

>Management has a nasty habit of sitting with their thumbs up their asses until a year before release
>The POWER OF FROSTBITE isn't actually suited for the things Bioware does
>Project leads keep leaving the company halfway during development of their games, making the management problems worse

EA forced them to cut corners and rush games, which led to many of the talented devs leaving the studio. Bioware then hired young, inexperienced people as replacements, which led to them making shitty rushed games.

"Bioware magic", aka 'it'll all come together in the end, so who gives a shit'.

Also, SJW hires.

Only thing you're missing is:

Truly, Bioware is the pinnacle of romance.

is there actually any evidence for extensive diversity hiring at Bioware, like a staff roster or group photo or something that shows tumblrinas outnumbering the experienced compsci/game design/digital artist people? or is it all Yas Forums headthink

Hiring people based on their ethnical/cultural background, gender and/or sexual prefrences.
Also, their stories over time lost some of the magic, as time went forward, people saw them as talentless hacks.
And since their games were carried by stories, gameplay was still as stale as ever.
EA did not help, but I still believe most of the problem came from Bioware's incompetence, as seen from that Anthem development article written by that rat-face Schreier.

Forget it. Games like Jade Empire and Parasite Eve are blessed to not ever receive a remake. They're the lucky ones who remain intact from the post 2k10 bullshit.

>ass erect
bioware was never good

Oh boy oh boy! It's that "old good was never good" meme again!

not extensive as in doing it more than other companies, but still a shit ton. Tech companies are massively incentivized to hire brown people and women.

These

Romances drew the wrong crowd to their games. The shippers, fanfiction writers, erpers, coomers - the super fans, lgbtbbqs and subsequently the sjws. They are loud and demand to be catered to. Bioware did. the end.

You're ignoring that the talent got split up all over the place because of that kotor MMO.

Affirmative action hires.

its still hurts
it will never stop hurting

As explained by numerous talks by the company, despite them trying to spin it as a "good thing", their structure and workflow is fucking horrible which leads to a lot of cuts.
Regardless of the direction, they're just a really, really badly run company.

Bioware fell because almost the entire game industry is a clubhouse of lucky retards who stumble into success and inevitably fail. The more stories you read about the history of game development, the clearer it becomes that almost all "great games" were complete accidents, and a lot of the most famous designs/mechanics/concepts/whatever were the result of glitches, or technical limitations, or backup plans when the first plan failed, or arbitrary, or were considered failures by the developers until they heard praise for it.

The game industry isn't film or music, there isn't a long list of super successful creative visionaries who move from one brilliant project to another. Half the people in the industry joined as a "get rich quick" scheme and sell off their companies after a single success. The other half are geeks who love video games too much to have any critical distance on how to make them, like a gluttonous lardass given access to a professional grade kitchen and all he wants to do is deep fry everything and dip it in chocolate.

No company deserves trust, only individual creative voices, and ones worth following are rare, especially in AAA gaming.

Bioware always sucked, people just started to notice.
