That studio deserved to be shut down. At least we still have the REAL Bioware team at Edmonton (the ones that made the other mass effects).

You mean the studio that was primarily responsible for the gameplay of ME3's multiplayer, was tasked with creating an entire game out of it, and was woefully unequipped to deal with it? Yes, that's the SJW's fault entirely. >_>

There are no lay offs...people are just moving onto other projects within the Motive studio. That studio is working on single player titles a la Assassins Creed (meaning single player games).

They have a few staffers that have been caught on social media with "white tears" mugs, claiming the default option for the character creator shouldn't be white or that's racist, openly calling themselves SJWs, etc. Apparently the hiring manager there is a SJW and the assumption, based on public staff comments and general demeanor, is that the studio tried to go full SJW in their hiring process, and the game suffered due to lack of talent.

I mean, realistically speaking the modern era "commies" would be all the people being accused of openly colluding with Russia to cheat our democracy, if you're comparing things to the Red Scare.

Yes.... The way is was used originally was to make fun of people who claimed you were transphobic for not thinking Caitlyn Jenner is a hero, but the alt right appropriated the term to make it "anybody with progressive views".

That would depen on the position the staff hold. I wiuld say about 1/3 of high ranking managers would need to make consider the possibility. On the other hand if it's low rank members I'd say about 1/8.

I remember reading something not too long ago about ME:A's woes and it sounds like s***ty management all the way. Feel bad for the Developers (most of whom are probably losing their jobs) that have to suffer because of incompetence and ego at the top.

SJW is a compliment 
its mainly used by people who hold sexist, racist or homophobic views to insult people who are not sexist, racist or homophobic 


so its better to be a SJW than an anti SJW

Mass Effect 1 and 2 were so awesome

I hate this trend in video games that when they have a good recipe that works and that is awesome, they try to change everything and it falls completely flat

I don't get it. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel when you have something good!

Explain how it is ok for SJWs to be anti white, specifically anti white men ?

Of all of ME:A's flaws I don't see how SJWs had anything to do with it.

People are that mad that there's a lot of gay people in their game? 

Not the disappointing story, glitches, dull quests, repeatative gameplay, uninteresting characters, poor world-building and generally inferior to the previous 3 games?

IT's the SJWS somehow?

SJW directives to make their characters intentionally ugly and introduce PC-friendly attitudes to the companions directly contributed to the disappointing story, dull quests, uninteresting characters and poor world-building from your example

The claim is less about the game being some beachhead for SJW ideals and more that hiring practices that focus on the identity politics of the employee and less their skillset led to bad work being done by unskilled workers.

Adding a couple of lines to a character that doesn't even get a directed cut scene is a much easier job than fixing the issues the game launched with. Use some common sense here.

And they've improved the game a f*** ton, including facial animations and toning down Addison clown makeup.

You don't just rebrand a development studio if their recent release was a major success in the eyes of the company. This is happening because the name "Bioware Montreal" is a future detriment to financial gains.

Right. The name.

The people themselves are apparently fine workers who will keep on working on games for EA...

Well yeah, EA decided to release ME: Andromeda in the state it was in and charge 60 dollars for it in addition to the tacked on mutiplayer operating under a freemium model with microtransactions.

They obviously don't care about quality.

SJW's are more openly racist and sexist against men and whites than anti SJW's are against minorities and women.

This team did the multiplayer for ME3 and Omega DLC as far as I know. It wouldn't really be the same thing.

But yeah you shouldn't get your hopes up. If EA wanted single player DLC for Andromeda they'd move them to Motive after they developed it.

Bioware makes a new ME game: game looks like s*** lol and even if it didn't look like s*** they're a bunch of smug stupid SJWs so the story will be garbage at best lmao this game will be trash on every level and their developers are trash

Part of Bioware is folded into EA: omg look at this f***ing disgrace I can't believe this injustice is being foisted onto Bioware it's those f***ing SJWs ruining games again they're solely to blame for these people being separated and if they didn't treat Bioware like s*** this never would have happened
And outside it's ninety-two degrees, and KROQ is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Currently playing: Yakuza 4, Killer Is Dead
Andromeda didn't suck because of sjw stuff. It sucked because it was poorly made by an ill-prepared team.

Andromeda wasn't even that progressive compared to other Bioware games. Gay male Ryder's clearly had the short end of the stick. They were stuck with some lame engineer guy who's not even on the team and they didn't even get a properly animated sex scene like the straight romances (which they bragged about during development). If anything I'd say it was a step back compared to ME3 and Inquisition.

They eventually added Jaal as a romance for gay Ryder's several months after launch which helped I guess.
