To those of you claiming that "woke" killed Bioware, you don't know what the frak you are talking about. BioWare was a pioneer in LGBTQ+ inclusion within Western RPGs, evolving from early same-sex options in games like Baldur’s Gate II and Jade Empire, to fully written queer main characters, explicit romances, and transgender/non-binary representation across the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series.
For those of you who claim you've played their games, but we know you haven't actually done so, here's a timeline of LGBTQ+ at a glance from BioWare games.
Early Era (2000–2005): Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003) featured Juhani as an early, semi-hidden lesbian romance. Jade Empire (2005) included same-sex options but faced editorial pushback or censorship in some markets.
Mass Effect Trilogy (2007–2012): Mass Effect (2007) sparked media controversy over a brief alien-human romance with Liara (playable as female Shepard). Mass Effect 2 expanded options, and Mass Effect 3 (2012) offered full same-sex romances for male and female Shepard, including crewmate Samantha Traynor and Steve Cortez.
Dragon Age Series (2009–Present): Dragon Age: Origins (2009) allowed bisexual/same-sex flings with select companions. Dragon Age II (2011) made nearly all main party members bisexual/pansexual. Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014) introduced Dorian Pavus as the studio's first fully gay companion and Krem as a prominent transgender character.
Later Titles (Andromeda and The Veilguard): Mass Effect: Andromeda (2017) scaled back queer options at launch, whereas later projects and studio leadership continued emphasizing expansive identity options and diverse characters.
Beyond that....
Writing & Advocacy: Lead writers like David Gaider championed authentic queer storylines, making non-straight identities a core part of fantasy and sci-fi worldbuilding rather than a joke.
Industry Influence: BioWare's commitment helped normalize LGBTQ+ characters in mainstream AAA video games, though critics and fans have also debated past missteps, missed opportunities, or inconsistent handling of bisexual representation.
(a simple Google search gives you the above, and you can go deeper if you like).
I've been playing their games since the VERY beginning. Get out of my timeline you fake-ass LARPers.
Thank God BioWare shut down.
I now have permission to share something I hoped would be revealed with much more fanfare.
I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4
It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life. I smiled every day. I worked HARD for the fans, every day.
So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it. I don’t know how to express how gutted I truly am.

🚨 RUMOR: A Marvel Studios estaria planejando uma nova origem para Magneto, focada em questões sociais mais atuais.
Segundo o rumor, o personagem poderia ser retratado como refugiado ou imigrante, devido às dificuldades de adaptar sua história original ao período em que o MCU será ambientado.

Call it nostalgia or whatever, but I think sometimes just going back to the basics is not a bad thing. I would LOVE for this to work and get back in

I understand both sides of this argument, but this behavior is stupid af.
1) If PSN goes down, you’re not playing your games. Sony is NOTORIOUS for having network issues. Anyone remember the PS3?
2) no longer can you buy used games.
3) Sony controls their market.
4) to piggy back off 2, if you take your ps5 or 6 somewhere and you don’t have internet access… well it’s just a paperweight.
I found a way too expensive new hobby. I never grew up on pinball and don’t really remember ever playing them as a kid in the 90s. When I was in Chicago, I went to a barcade and saw Dr. No sitting there with no one around. I hit the green, flashing start button and never looked back. Pinball is a fast and exciting gaming experience. I’ve fallen in love.
Godzilla pinball just took that first love I had and made it forever. It’s expensive as hell, but the way it makes me feel… I’ll gladly pay it to keep it going! #pinball
