Internal trailer for ME 5
people havnt forgiven them for destroying the CNC franchise, and they tried to money grab with CNC4, and tiberium alliance.
EA has form for turning buyouts into shit. Look at PopCap who produced joyous casual-but-fair games until EA sunk their claws into them.
Can’t spell death without ea
bioware was dead somewhere in between getting taken over by ea, long before this.
EA is a pox on humanity now.
As is capitalism, especially the unregulated sort, where executives worst ideas run the show
EA = Enshittify All.
I had to write a buad report on them long time back. EA is basically the Martin Shkreli of the gaming industry.
When they got sold to ea, this was the only possible outcome anyway. Not sure if they sold out or ea did some corporate bullshit to force them to it, but they should have stayed away from ea if they wanted to keep making games.
The founders and original lead developers - Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk - created over a dozen games before they sold the company.
Idk what else you’d want. They did their thing and then they cashed out to live their lives doing other things.
Bioware wasn’t even supposed to be a video game company. It was originally founded to pioneer medical technology and only pivoted when their side project - Shattered Steel - outperformed expectations.
Sometime people need to stop being mad because one participate Treats Train has finally ended it’s run. Be glad for the games you got, not sad because it’s over
After all, you’ve still got Larian and Paradox and Owlcat and a thousand other indie studios making equivalent games.
They sold out to a private equity firm, who in turn sold them to EA.
Bioware also had a large number of employees in Edmonton. Maga goons (Jared Kushner and Lourenco Goncalves) are just laying off Canadians to hurt the economy.
In these lists of great things to remember Bioware for, people keep not including MDK2. It told an amazing story of a mad scientist, his janitor and robot dog, repelling an alien invasion and saving Earth. Deserves to be mentioned alongside their othet awesome games.
You think it’s popular enough that anyone knows what MDK2 even means? People after lazy and won’t search that to find out. Maybe you should stop being lazy too and just woke out the actually name instead of this game you seem to think it’s unforgettable will remain entirely entirely forgotten
‘‘woke out the actually name instead’’
You’re an idiot. Learn english if you’re going to preach to people in this language. FYI the name of the game actually is ‘‘MDK2’’.

I knew the name you champion. MDK1 and 2 were my favorite games besides Army men 3DO
We found them! The person who had the 3DO!
Brother/Sister, you have no idea how much 3DO’s Army men series was a part of my life.
I wish someone would remake Army men land sea and air, like a Company of Heroes clone.
I use to have 5 small crates filled with plastic soldiers. They were my life.
Dude, why so abrasive?
How about you tell us the ‘actual name’, sucka? Because anyone who was a gamer in 1997-2000 knows of the mystery behind that name.
My Dick Knuckle 2
Murder Death Kill.
Lol it’s the actual name of the game.
Apparently I wasn’t lazy enough to do some leg work to figure it out (I actually knew about this game and was able to identify it by the name but that’s beyond the point.)
You’re the reason why Netflix has to take into account people doom scrolling on their phones while they watch their media.
It probably took less time for me to search, upload and write this message than it took you to type up that rancid pile of shit.
So for everyone concerned: shut the fuck up.

It’s always the fucking suits.
Squeaky wheel gets the kick!
Sims 2 for life!
Such a tragedy. Black Isle and Bioware were such a great combo in the late 90’s.
Just following the fate of Bethesda and Id: kiddos, your heros will die. So it goes.
CDPR hopefully will not make these same mistakes… or they already have.
Just to push back on this, this is long overdue.
EA closing down studios they buy is the expected inevitable outcome
Anyone who lets EA acquire them deserves this. It’s not even a secret, so fuck everyone at BioWare who sold their company to this. You can be sad, but you don’t get to be surprised

Developers don’t decide who acquires them.
That’s why it is sad. You have a really good team and the money hungry management sells them out. That is sad.
That means all BioWare games should become free now, because a closed studio can’t get the money? /s
Of course EA will have no problem getting money on their behalf, all while slashing the developers. If you waited for a call to legitimately pirate BioWare games, this is it.
EA employees worked on BioWare games. I know because my brother is one of them.
He worked on Dragon Age, while being an EA employee.
So EA owns all the rights to collect money from their games for that reason and because EA owned BioWare
Check out OpenRA: Combined Arms lol
Niiiice
The Morons in Japan are trying to blame online piracy. Makes me wanna swallow some nails…
