How will game 'journalists' spin Casey Hudson's return to BW?

Even richer is that anyone would think that Casey Hudson of all people is going to "bring the hammer down on SJW proselytizing."  That's hilarious.

I'm at a loss for words, really. To each it's own I guess.

Wasn't Hudson part of the team that thought moving the series to Andromeda as well?

I really wish it would. I mean it's a game for christ's sake. What I wonder is if people hung up over this still half a decade later must have absolutely no real issues of consequence in their life. Because if they did, I think they might realize that of all the things to get hung up on, this would be the most absurd. The only situation where it might make sense to me that people were still troubled over it is if the games were their go to thing to help them feel better when RL shit got to them. Then it would make sense that someone messed up something they used to help them deal. Otherwise, just deal and move on. 

You might want to reload the ending and watch the slides.

Frankly, I'm surprised that Casey has agreed to come back and take on this role.  I honestly think he'll maintain a distance from Mass Effect... heck, the hiatus of the franchise may have even been a "condition" of convincing him to take on the role of GM.  Stranger deals have been struck before.

Hiatus, however, is not a cancellation of the IP... It's putting a temporary "hold" on things... to allow time for Casey to get a better handle on what's actually happened and decide on a course of action to sort the issues out... as opposed to just walking in on a mess and being expected to make instant decisions about its direction.

Wait what was unfinished exactly? Everything was solid but the endings needed polish that's it.

Yeah, I'm calling BS on that. 

I remember the word at the time being that they threw the original endings out because they got leaked and over the course of the weekend Hudson, and I think Walters, rewrote them.

Now, is that EA's fault that Bioware had a leak? Is it EA's fault that they were saying "No more delays"? Was it EA's fault that 2 guys figured they had it all handled? 

I really don't think most people here have any idea how businesses and corporate decision making work. People seem to think it's like some suit at EA is pointing his finger around like "You two get in a room together. No leaving all weekend. No bathroom breaks. Rewrite these endings like this and whatever you have Monday morning is going into the game"

When its probably some guy at EA asking "So, whatcha gonna do? Action plan. Lets go", gets his reply, maybe a little back and forth and then "Alright. Get to work."

Except this hiatus thing is such a stupid status to be throwing around when either way they won't be working on it for years. So giving it that status is just absurd at best. People who give it that status do so to make it seem like the end is nigh. 

Again, must point out the rumor of Hudson and Walters doing it on their own a fabrication still.

Yeah, very easily could be. But its not like it was EA's fault. The endings were written and produced in house. EA already gave them one or two delays on the game. At some point, no more and you have to get your job done.

Its like writing a paper in college or most deadlines in business. Sometimes you can get it extended but only so much. Eventually you have to have your work finished. If your work isn't good, it isn't someone elses fault.
