Excerpt:
”I was thrilled when they introduced the Homosexual romance options in Mass Effect 3 just because obviously there was a huge audience. I spoke to the developers about it, they said they provided so many different choices we were proud of, to be really honest it was just another piece of extra content that didn’t make the final cut in the other games.
What’s amazing about the game for people is that you can cross gender! You can play through in any capacity you want, imaginatively for any of us that’s a huge factor in the experience. All of the opportunities and complexities are fascinating, and that’s what games allow to go down the rabbit hole and explore it."
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!"
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
If he is in there than Ashley should be in there too, because you had to choose who will live. Ashley or Kaidan?
sooo tired of this homosexual agenda in media and now videogames smh
He wasn't in ME2 or ME3 for me, so it wouldn't matter.
I don't care about having gay romance options since more choice is a good thing for games (even though personally a homo-Shep seems weird). Regardless I can't be the only one who didn't appreciate them turning Kaidan gay. It's one thing to introduce a new character and establish them as gay, its another thing entirely to just flip the sexual-orientation switch on a character that has already been established as hetro.
Bioware made a similar mistake with their novels where they suddenly made a gay character straight. Fans who followed the novels were upset over this large oversight. In the game they turned a previously straight character gay. It made things a bit awkward too considering one could be trying to be a caring friend but it comes out to be a romance trigger.
Go to see Kaidan in the hospital, give him good wishes and hope he gets better, gets flirted with. Awkward. It ruined Garrus' 'sniper challenge' cutscene for me the first time too. The moment he said "you're not going to propose marriage now are you?" I instantly went "oh no, not you too Garrus!" Luckily he was just being his usual smartass self. I can overlook them rewriting Kaidan since he's not that 'big' of a role, but to rewrite Garrus? That would had been horrible.
