Bioware cleaning house

Progressive writers are getting axed at Bioware post-Veilguard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dragon_Age:_The_Veilguard#Writers_fired? 92.220.74.144 (talk) 14:38, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-done Reliable sources aren't reporting the layoffs as due to "progressive writers" but instead due to the underperformance of both EA Sports FC 25 & Dragon Age: The Veilguard leading EA to lower its annual revenue forecast. I've added the forecast update (see Reuters) & that BioWare restructure/downsize included Dragon Age team layoffs (see PC Gamer & IGN). Sariel Xilo (talk) 19:15, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

You're right. The "progressive writers" was taken from Ann Lemay's post on Bluesky.

She writes:

"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."

"Folx" is, as far as I know, a term used in certeain communities, especially online, that means people who identify transgender or non-binary.

In this bluesky-post she points out that this group (Folx) have been removed from Bioware.

Not something that can be used in an article, but might relevant for the discussion page if this is not the end of this story. 92.220.74.144 (talk) 14:53, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

I recognize that a lot of people are impassioned about this topic, but that's WP:OR, and not really relevant. Not now, not ever. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:12, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
