Videogamer writes "BioWare co-founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk has admitted the studio had to eat humble pie after the release of Mass Effect: Galaxy for iPhone.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com earlier this month at the Develop conference in Brighton, Zeschuk said a fundamental mistake was the game's undoing, but that it was still a project worth undertaking."
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
You know Dragon Age Journeys? That'd be awesome as an iPhone game.
Damn, I forgot all about that game.

Since moving to EA they have put on their speedos and gone crazy. They want to develope on ever platform and work on multiple games at the same time. Something has got to give, and I beleave that the gamers are going to see a drop in quality because of this greed.
Let's be honest, Bioware is a great company but they were definitely trying to cash in on one of their well known IP's, with a weak attempt on a portable platform. It's great that they admitted they didn't put out a good portable game and hopefully they'll put more effort in next time if they choose to make another portable game.
