Remember when Mike Harris sold off Highway 407 for about a three billion and we all got a $200 cheque? That highway is now worth over 30 billion. Another boneheaded move by a Conservative leader. We need to protect our assets.
insane. canadian government called upon by avi lewis, opposition leader of the new democratic party in canada, to give bioware the money to buy maintain and run the studio to save invasion of private equity in a massively successful canadian game studio.

You're telling me we could've had an espionage thriller Mass Effect with a biotic James Bond vibe MC (likely customizable) going around hunting targets with a crew including LIARA T'SONI, with GORGEOUS VISUALS - but EA rather focus on an open world football game... FUCK EA.
> Buy studio that makes the greatest RPGs of all time
> Get studio to stop making RPGs because action games sell more I guess
> Every game bombs
> Baldur's Gate 3 uses your formula and wins GOTY
> Ignore that, tell devs Dragon Age should be more like Fortnite
> Close studio

BioWare is owned by EA, which was bought by Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner, and like many in the video game industry, is cutting costs and jobs; EA has a special reputation for this kind of thing, as well. What a strange attack line
EA was bought by a private equity firm a couple of years ago.
I need every single chud gamer to hear this: this is what is ACTUALLY ruining gaming—not “DEI” or “wokeness.”
Private equity wrings out industries for profit—sacrificing quality in the process. Now we won’t get ME4.
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.
If you paid $1 in property taxes, you paid more than Madison Square Garden, controlled by the billionaire Dolan family who own the Knicks.
That’s a $43 million taxpayer subsidy a year.
Average ticket price to see the Knicks tonight: $1,894.
Yes. Billionaires are the problem.
