EA Planned To Make Dragon Age A Billion-Dollar IP, Reveals Former Dev

The former Dragon Age head has disclosed EA's intention to transform the series into a billion-dollar property. The publisher also intended to release three new games for the series, with merely 18 months of development between them in 2016.

Rip Dragon Age.

[Profchaos]

We want to make Dragon Age a billion dollar franchise so let's hire the same writers responsible for mother fkn watch dogs legion 🤮

[babadivad]

Also hire an ideolog whose never worked on an RPG as the director.

[gold_drake]

well that bkfired.

[goken]

Well they were targeting the modern audiences demographic… remember these people are paid millions in salary to come up with these decisions

[RaidenBlack]

"Make Dragon Age great again."
~Make Larian develop next Dragon Age for it to be great again.~

[tinchotin]

Why waste them on that? Their games are much better than all Dragon Age games

[RaidenBlack]

Baldur's Gate is a Bioware developed Obsidian (previously-BlackIsle) published IP.
Dragon Age is a Bioware developed EA published IP.
(And I am talking total hands-off approach from EA. Just pure publishing.)
Trust me, this is the best combo in the world of gaming-RPG but has the slightest of slightest chance to actually happen.

Name me a publisher whose intention is not to make a billion dollars from their IP. The intention should be to make a good game and then find ways to milk it out of legitimacy.

Night dive and lrg is more hey let's keep the lights on and play some classics.

[CrimsonWing69]

Well, that ain’t happening now.

[Nacho_Z]

Just horrible. Churning out three games in a year and a half is an insane target and not in a good way.

[mudakoshaka]

Hahahahahahahahaha

[Soy]

Why can't publishers learn from GTA and realize that it's better to just make great games without deadlines?

EA gave this game enough time they just hired the wrong people to lead the development. Sadly few loud mouths in a gaming studio could bring the whole company down. Look at the Concord team one of the team members forced everyone to call her the professor even though she wasn't one but because she was higher up she made the rules

In 2025 gaming studios have been infested with ideologists who are making the game for certain groups and agendas and not for gamers. Once game is released and doesn't sell well they blame gamers for not supporting the games yet before release they says stuff like don't like don't play it

Woke, Pronouns, DEI and LGBTQ has no place in gaming. It's very simple gamers have decided that if a game is going to use any of these to push their agendas they will not support it

Gaming is a hobby we want to get lost in three worlds and characters but now a days gaming is more filled with real world politics

[Rebel_Scum]

Ahh come on now, LGB has a place, look at how good the ME romance scenes were and the last of us… to name a few

[babadivad]

Get woke, go broke.

Dear EA, Stop hiring ideologs. This is a secular religion to these people.

[anast]

There is no way they actually went into this thinking that. If they did, they would have hired this specific team.

[MehmetAlperTR]

Than give up about WOKE things...

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'm starting to notice a trend with these types of games that are badly written, and/or coded, and developers expecting to make a big franchise out of them, only to them be met with utter failure.
