The REAL Reason Why Bioware Dropped Andromeda...

perhaps but then how can you afford your internet connection? I wanna be a writer. I want to do it full time. To do so i need to make enough money writing that i can... At the least...pull back from my job and do it full time.

EA knew diehards would buy the game regardless. Snagging EA Access sign ups that then might try other EA games - it's smart marketing. That, and a lot of people forget to cancel and get dinged for months without realizing it.

Wanting to comfortably survive as a human being on Earth in the only economic system made available to you and do what you love at the same time is not being "in it" for the money. The money is not valuable in itself but gets you food, shelter, healthcare, basic access to society and modern life so that you don't unnecessarily suffer, die, or lose your mind. Meanwhile there are people who do live to make money (so they can build their net worth, have as much luxury and power as humanly possible, create dynasties for their families, be the "global elite"...). EA executive lifestyles are not comparable. tbh I feel legitimately sick that my buying their games contributes to that shit.

They have made good developers *poof* disappear.

Fuck EA, they are not a company worth supporting, and yes I too have enjoyed a few of there titles over the years, including ME2 & 3, Madden, and a few others. Look at the big picture and that enjoyment of those few games is insignificant to the damage they have done to our hobby as a whole.

If you don't see this, I simply do not know what else to say to you.

Out of a budget of $120 for cable turned to non-cable patron recipients: I moved $96 back into my pocket and now support just a handful of artists. Anyone that has mentioned SJW as a reason... I revoked my patronage. I couldn't do this with cable, but I can do this with YouTube. I'm also wondering if BioFan is going to produce another video. 

I think I have seen "Ryder's Block". I've watched so many that it's hard to remember; but it's in my YouTube history.

I think the guy was biased. He started out trying to contain it, but it pretty quickly bubbled to the surface. It's fine that he doesn't like the game. I understand that. He doesn't do a good job of keeping that out of his presentation, though. I also think his assessment t is ridiculous, in some respects. Sure EA tries to lock up as many dollars as possible, as quickly as possible. The idea that they knew MEA would bomb, though, and planned for it? Silly.

I agree with you that the game shouldn't have been given a pass. It wasn't ready in so many ways. It definitely shouldn't have been released in the state in which it was.

That's a nice strawman! 

Mirror Mirror said EA has harmed the video game industry. That's a fact. There is a long list of companies and franchises EA ran to the ground.

But it's hard to see this when looking at that impressive strawman, though. 

Explain to us how it is not a fact?

Origin is the first. Go on, explain that, then Maxis. Then the....

You are sycophants. Or, society has broken you so well that you accept the situation as acceptable and beyond your ability to change.

In other words, grow a pair.

So glad I couldn't bring myself to watch it, going with reading the comments instead.

most opinions are. Without EA i would never have played a bioware game and nor would be with such August company.
