Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33.
Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening.
So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability...

The Road to Summerfall - Part 2
I guess the best place to start is with leaving BioWare. Right off the bat, I'll say I enjoyed working there - a lot. Until I didn't. I started in 1999 with BG2 and ended in 2016, 2 years after shipping DAI and after spending a year on the game which became Anthem.

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.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was undeniably divisive, but to many who worked on it, it was a miraculous accomplishment to even ship a complete game after EA forced live-service into it, then reversed course. Now, their reward for the long hours and hard work is layoffs and transfers.

Dustborn is out on GOG.com! We recommend reading the reviews from verified owners and folks who actually played the game, rather than…well, the folks who didn't and who wrote most of the reviews on GOG. www.gog.com/en/game/dust...

Dustborn is finally out on GOG.com — and getting review-bombed, since GOG doesn't require ownership to rate a game. Interesting to see the ratio: 4.8/5 from owners, 1.7 from non-owners. Which, y'know, is telling. Absolutely loving the quality of the one-star reviews, too, truly biting criticism.
