The Dragon Age team at Bioware deserved better than what EA gave them. My heart breaks and I am angry. I love DAV a lot because Ive BEEN aware development was hell. I had hangups, but I know thr team had similar ones too and couldn't do anything about it.

I think if we have standards for games and what we will/won't allow in this community that we throw to the side just because a game happens to have content that panders to you (yes mlm frequently) then you didn't really have standards to begin with.

I've been excited to share this piece i got last month with everyone, I had to wait for it to heal up πβ€οΈ This quote really hit home for me for so many reasons and ended up being something I used to reflect on myself and my own worth. Does this unit have a soul? I sure hope so.

Hey, Caitie. I just wanted to say thank you for this. I'm going to be working on my personal writing while applying for new positions, and hearing that folks also like the stuff I wrote outside of work means a ton to me.

To everyone reaching out to me and my co workers with jobs and offers if help: I adore you all dearly. I'm overwhelmed in a good way for once, it's been pretty dark lately so seeing the good out there means the world to me <3 and honestly that's what Dragon Age is to me: Hope in hopelessness

i will say this - please don't give up on the devs still at bioware. there are some vets from the OT working and leading ME5. they're still here and they need community support now more than ever. if you love ME too, don't give up. fight for them.

so fucked that EA owns Sims, Apex Legends and Dragon Age, one company can just actively trash a bunch of games I like and there's nothing I can do except continue to love them regardless, fuck EA

This is the unfortunate reality with mega publishers like EA and Microsoft - there's one competing reasonably in their markets so they don't care to "take risks" and ruin things because they're not hurting financially regardless.

A lot of people I have worked with for a lot of years have been "released to industry" today. I hope everyone lands on their feet but, like every time, we are going to lose from talent from games forever.

If you were affected by the layoffs at BioWare today, please feel free to reach out to me if I can review or forward a resume, make an introduction, buy you a cup of coffee, shoot things on the internet with you, or recommend you for a position at SIE. All of you are legendary talents.

Apart from my favorite thing being shot in front of my eyes, what is haunting me is the state of things. Dragon Age dying at the same time as my country rockets to fascism doesn't feel like a coincidence.

Hey folks. As of today, I am no longer with BioWare. However, I am sticking with the wonderful team at Motive Studios for the foreseeable future. Got a fantastic project cooking here. Iβll miss my BW family, but the hope is that Iβll make my way back to ME when the time comes.

To all my fellow devs: I see you and appreciate you. I am grateful for the wonderful work you're doing every day despite the way the industry treats you. I am thankful for the stories you made happen, in so many ways you've been here for me through the most difficult of times. You deserve better!! π«Ά

Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it. That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated. Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

I'm trying really hard not to say a lot of colorful angry words directed at a company that has laid off some of it's best developers that helped shape their studio. Laying off devs without even owning up to it in your announcement is bullshit. I don't know, I'm just so mad.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

I was a writer at BioWare for 5 years (2011-2016). I leaned a lot during that time from exceptional folx in many disciplines, but also specifically from my fellow writers & our amazing editors, on both the ME & DA brands. Today, not a single one of those writers & editors remains employed there.
