Facing financial pressure, the video-game publisher chose ‘Star Wars’ over ‘Mass Effect’
Schreier adds on Bluesky:
Why did EA shut down BioWare? Twitter thinks the studio failed because it was too woke. BlueSky thinks Saudi Arabia killed the studio for being too gay. The real reason? Star Wars
This is accurate, if Bioware were still the golden goose they would have let them do whatever representation they wanted.
Without regular wins, it’s easier for executives to meddle and that’s normally going to make things worse.
