looking back on how DA has been treated, it all makes a huge amount of sense now which is so depressing. DA was a golden goose, so it always struck me as bizarre how much EA seemingly HATED it.
While I was at BioWare, EA *always* preferred Mass Effect, straight up Their Marketing team liked it more. It was modern. It had action. They never quite knew what to do with DA, and whenever DA outperformed ME, ME got the excuses. If you ask me, it was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins.
Wow.... this makes so much awful, shifty sense. It has seemed to me, from the outside, that there has been a preference for ME over DA. The launch of DATV and the residual layoffs seemed more of a hit job from inside than just a troll problem.

With every Hunger Games book, Suzanne Collins gets blunter about the messages readers keep missing
She’s always been writing about philosophy and war theory — but now she’s demanding you pay attention

Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

So here's what's cool about my job:
Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

My twitter account was suspended for an unknown reason, so that's why I might have looked like I unfollowed you on twitter. But I AM here!

The story you write for a "wide audience" will be trammeled by your own (incorrect) belief in the existence of normal people.
The story you write for the weird little goblin who lives inside your brain will grow wings because the world is full of weird little goblins

I am here to give you permission to write your really niche story that isn't 'highly marketable' and that brings you the most joy.
Embrace the cringe, vulnerability, and unapolagetic need to write your story- we really need less stories with a 'wider audience' in mind
