Would Mass Effect Andromeda’s writers be considered senior staff at this point?
From the article:
As part of its recently publicised cutbacks, BioWare has “let go of” Lukas Kristjanson, the lead writer behind Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, and the writer of the first three Dragon Age games, Mary Kirby.
I didn’t even think they had anyone from the BG era still there.
Imagine having the same job for 23 years and then going “fuck you bye”.
So business as usual
There is no social contract anymore.
I wouldn’t mind it, typically that level of service comes with redundancy pay. Depends where he was based, if he was working in the US then he’d probably be left high and dry, because US employment is shit.
Could’ve been a mutual decision. They may have taken the hot because they were already thinking of leaving at some point anyway. That sort of thing happens sometimes.
Dude could be getting a severance package over a year long at this point, I don’t know if that’s a “fuck you bye”
The good ending.
Lol I don’t even have to imagine that. It’s funny you point out 23 years because that’s exactly how long I worked at my previous job before moving on in 2022.
The fuck? Hope he gets hired at Larian.
Welp
That’s what I was wondering. This may not be a terrible decison.
Edit: because I didn’t read I was wrong
How hard is it to write “pick a color”?
Depends on how much you get to crunch.
Writers, who the fuck needs them, eh?
It’s not like writers ever made Mass Effect good or anything. I mean, something something Reapers, big whatever.
Well, now I can’t tell if the writing for ME was good or bad
do CEOs think AI is gonna fill in? lol
Well, surely this is a good look for future game prospects and their level of writing quality. Surely…
Oh. Bioware disassembles itself.
The time of the LLMs is upon us. Settle in everyone, it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.
Experience doesn’t matter to companies anymore. They’ll get college hires to do the role and reward them for mediocrity
