Michael Douse from Larian Studios: It’s always people lower down the food chain that suffer, when it’s clearly strategy higher up the food chain that’s causing the problem. On a pirate ship, they’d toss the captain overboard. Video games companies should be run like pirate ships.

Yup, I didn't get it because there simply wasn't enough seasonal content, loot boxes, battle passes, and FOMO elements. Better luck next time EA!

Same. No battlepass? No money.

incredible, you absolutely nailed it mr CEO

[–] apotheotic 22 points 3 weeks ago

I hope EA crashes and burns and that all the IP they gobbled up and/or murdered can be free from its clutches

Die EA

Thought for a moment that it was the onion.

Oh wow! I gotta admit, I kinda like Veilguard. Yeah, it's the same "Bioware Style" story as a lot of others. Sorry it wasn't to a lot of people's taste.

Fuck off EA. That's all that needs to be said.

Well the industry is looking at Baldur's Gate 3 to learn how fantasy RPG are supposed to be made. CEO thinks the only thing really missing is the only thing BG3 does NOT have.

Problem is that we waited 10 twara and got this. Doesn't even compare to inquisition, feels like a VERY small game and the dialogue, story and combat is nor great. Not to mention there is no crafting and the game is very much clpawd and not open world like. Doesn't even stand close to Inquisition, which I might add won fame of the year without live service.

Exactly - if it's not a forever game, then why play it?
