Respawn needs to release a Jedi sequel more than once every four years to put bioware out of business.

They'd have to start making party-based games so you can have relaishuns, especially gay relaishuns. Or robot sex. Only that would attract the Bioware audience.

Does this mean we'll finally understand all the lore behind the darkspawn, Dark City, the Maker, elven gods, dwarves, qunari, the Fade, and archdemons? And how it all beautifully ties in together in poetic ways none of us could have predicted?

It was all done by ethnically diverse elves of multiple gender identities and sexual preferences.

Did Weekes get the boot along with the other writers or was his rainbow hues and assorted cuckoldry enough to avoid the culling?

According to Linked.in, he's still there, it seems. Never question the power of rainbow hair.

Lol as if the future of Bioware weren't uncertain enough

Former BioWare employees recently laid off are suing the studio for "shortchanging" them with low severance pay

A group of former BioWare employees who were impacted by the studio's recent layoffs is suing for better severance pay.

Back in August, BioWare laid off a total of 50 employees to "preserve the health of the studio," make sure Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is "an outstanding game," and ensure "the success of the next Mass Effect game." Of those 50 employees impacted by the layoffs, seven of them are now suing BioWare.
In a statement shared by former BioWare technical director Jon Renish, the group alleges the severance package offered by BioWare was "significantly less" than the standard set by the Alberta Courts' "most recent court cases of termination without cause." The group says it's refusing to accept BioWare's severance and requesting punitive damages.
"In light of the numerous recent industry layoffs and the fact that BioWare's NDAs prevent us from showing any of our recent work on BioWare: Dreadwolf in our portfolios, we are very concerned about the difficulty many of us will have finding work as the holiday season approaches," said one terminated employee. "While we remain supportive of the game we worked so hard on, and of our colleagues continuing that work, we are struggling to understand why BioWare is shortchanging us in this challenging time."



R. Alex Kennedy, a lawyer providing counsel for the group of former employees, argues BioWare "attempted to reduce its obligation to these employees well below what the courts typically award, including by eliminating benefits from its termination pay - that appears to be contrary to the Employment Standards Code."

"These people are artists and creators who have worked very hard and for a very long time in a difficult industry, producing big profits for their employer. Their termination without cause en masse like this calls for a response. Employers here can terminate anyone at any time without cause, but with that right comes a responsibility to the people they put in that situation."
We've reached out to BioWare for comment and will update this story if we hear back.

The only fans Solas has are fangirls. I don't get the hype, a glass of boiled water has more personality than him.
Many girls love edgy bad boys like i.e. Draco, Loki before Marvel made him antihero, Bishop. Bishop is a well-written evil character but I don’t understand his appeal among women.

He's handsome. That's the extent of it. A lot of women think they can change a man through their love or some shit like that, look at the adoration Ted Bundy received during his trial.

The project lead of Dreadwolf's an even bigger faggot and more unhinged than Weekes.
