I would just like to see a version that isn’t as “hardcore.”


Dragon Age: Veilguard lead level designer Brian J. Audette responds to criticisms on Bluesky: “We couldn’t have made a better Dragon Age, only a different one.”
In a response to [an article](https://archive.is/20250611133559/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-11/inside-the-dragon-age-debacle-that-gutted-ea-s-bioware-studio?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc0OTY0ODYyOCwiZXhwIjoxNzUwMjUzNDI4LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJTWFAxSUZUMVVNMFcwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.0D0urTjRUJqH0oOP38TpvlX4HOdjPQ-V_tc8l2kNFWg) written for Bloomberg by Jason Schreier investigating the ten year "development turmoil," lead level designer Brian J. Audette refutes the notion that the game was "compromised" in a post on their bluesky account. The full post reads: > Reposting without comment except: I refute that we made a bad or compromised game. We made the best version of what we released, warts and all. I'm damn proud of it and the team. We couldn't have made a _better_ Dragon Age, only a _different_ one.

Everyone knows you’re not supposed to go online with that stuff.



The ROG Ally and similar devices have already existed for years. What’s the big deal with just an Xbox branded one?









Yes it’s because you don’t put five trans characters in games. Not because you complain about wokeness and cancel culture in a way that is not so much a dog whistle as it is a fucking foghorn of rightwing nutjobbery.



Oh nice. One of the best examples of pixel art of all time imo.





It’s certainly going to be a dark age for me since I won’t be able to run it.



There’s actually another GN video about the shortages too. I think they said they were in stock for about 10 minutes? Can’t even find a 4070 super in stock for that matter.



This is one of the reasons people saying it’s good that games require RTX now pissed me off. Yeah it’s been a decade since the technology was released, but the GPU shortages, price gouging, and scalpers have also been going on for that long. It feels like ancient history when you could buy a midrange GPU for MSRP within a year of its release.




I didn’t know that, but it would make sense. I imagine many had already been looking for new jobs before they knew this would happen. Hopefully though something good will come from this.

Functionally speaking the distinction is negligible. Users won’t be able to download patches from the site, and new patch submissions won’t be accepted.
