Mobile & Apps: "Dragon Age: Origins was the best ever Western RPG I have ever played. It was so good that I finished it four times. Therefore, when EA announced Dragon Age 2 was on the horizon, my excitement levels went through the roof as I prepared myself for another thrilling adventure."
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson writes: "In this time of change, we expect these decisions to impact approximately 5 percent of our workforce. I understand this will create uncertainty and be challenging for many who have worked with such dedication and passion and have made important contributions to our company. While not every team will be impacted, this is the hardest part of these changes, and we have deeply considered every option to try and limit impacts to our teams. Our primary goal is to provide team members with opportunities to find new roles and paths to transition onto other projects. Where that’s not possible, we will support and work with each colleague with the utmost attention, care, and respect. Communicating these impacts has already begun and will be largely completed by early next quarter."
All the big ones doing the same stuff. Terrible. I just hope that all these people are able to get a new job as soon as possible, God know that it is horrible to be left jobless when you have your kids or your parents depending on your financial help
The point I feel is problematic about all of this is that focusing on Owned Ip means more sequels, remasters and more of what was selling last year.
I want the ladies to were less clothes not more. WTF
Dragon Age 2 was a huge letdown for me. I had high hopes for it after Origins. Damn, Origins was amazing
Yeah 3 simple steps for it to be a great game
1 make it like dragon age origins and nothing like 2
2 don't do anything like what you did to mass effect 3
3 no multiplayer and higher GOOD writers to write the story and have multiple playable races.
Basically don't Bioware it up Bioware. This is your chance to redeem yourselves after all the things you've done to ruin yourselves. Mass effect 2 had a lot of broken promises and bad writing but redeemed itself in gameplay but then you somehow ruined that in 3 on top of more broken promises and lies. Da2 was a rushed mess and well I don't even know what you were thinking. Then you drove away all your good developers and writers who wrote some of your best games! Common guys we know you can be the best so stop trying to fail.
Make it like Origins and make Dragon Age 2 non cannon.
I just worry how much say EA has. If they do it will end up like DA2, dead space 3, etc. Maybe bioware can convince them that skyrim and the witcher sold well so make it like them. I wish Bioware still innovated like with DA and ME1. They r still master story tellers but i hope they are allowed to make the game that they think needs to be made.
