    First time reading RPS? They’re what’s left of a humor blog after all the actual humorists left. It’s nothing but awkward attempts at randomness and making constant references to the time when they were still good.

    It sucks, because 15-20 years ago they were one of the best sites to follow for PC gaming. Now they’re a hollow shell of their former self that thinks being “quirky” and filling their posts with impenetrable in-jokes is a substitute for good writing.

      I fucking hate RPS. They have some of the absolute worst headlines too, and have a weird aversion to actually saying what game they’re writing about in said headline.

  I mean, I don’t want to be too cruel but Bioware’s last two games were Veilguard and Anthem. I don’t think it’s too surprising that fans of the Mass Effect franchise aren’t necessarily interested in seeing the team take another crack at it. When your last game that was considered “good” was over 10 years ago, and even then Inquisition is controversial, it’s hard to maintain die-hard fans that’ll stick up for you in a situation like this.

    Tbf, that’s still ea’s fault. Almost all of the original talent behind their successes left bc of the direction ea forced them.

    Their biggest names are already working elsewhere and making good things (fingers crossed)

    Also, EA is owned by a company indistinguishable from the Saudi Gov and the head is the guy who had Jamal Khashoggi murdered for criticizing him. They should be boycotted and no one should give them money for anything.

      People need to mod PS3 BF3 to play multiplayer to avoid giving both gross Sony and EA money.

  You wish is granted!

  Sold to Tencent. A mobile game will be released within two weeks.

  Even with 10,000,000 signatures and 5,000,000 paid pre-orders there’s less than a 5% chance it’ll be good.

  Quality art comes from inspiration. You cannot buy inspiration.

    Definitely has that smell to it. “See, it’s still a popular and valuable IP, it’ll be a reliable turn on investment” to drive up the asking price as they look to lease or sell the IP to other studios/publishers.

  It’s a little pointless saving the IP if someone else is going to build it. You cannot reproduce the old flavour with new people.
