CONFESSION:

I just realized there are probably some dragon age fans who were born in 2009 and are now playing the games. There are dragon age fans who were in their twenties when Origins came out and are now approaching 40. There are fans who were little kids and watched their siblings or parents play and they are now in their late teens and/or early twenties enjoying the games now. There are dragon age fans who now have their own kids and even grand kids. I'm about to finish veterinarian school and back when I played Origins, I really did not know what I wanted to be. Its been a long and often difficult journey but one of the many things I will always appreciate about the Dragon Age Series was how it was always there for me to have a brief escape from the real world. And I'm looking forward to Dreadwolf even though I know I'll be working ten hour shifts.

So, it should be pretty obvious by now that I'm firmly against fans boycotting Bioware and Dreadwolf due to the layoffs. I'll put it in business terms. I've worked for Fortune 500 companies, and I speak from that perspective.

The people who made it are hoping, and have said, that they hope people will love Dreadwolf as much as they do. Even when they were laid off.

It would punish the creatives who made the game far more than it would punish Bioware. They likely can't even talk about it due to NDAs unless/until it's released. Can you imagine not being able to talk about a thing you loved and poured years of your life, creativity, and passion into? I can. It would be heartbreaking.

I don't want to be responsible for harming people who love dragon age enough to make it for us. If I boycott, that's exactly what I'd be partially responsible for. I'm usually very pro-boycott, but in this case, I'm not.

So here's the question... we unequivocally live in a late stage capitalist nightmare world. Do you know how many other companies have laid off employees this year?

This type of behavior has been pro forma for corporate for at least 20 years, probably longer.

So, why would people boycott Dreadwolf and Bioware when they're by far not even the most egregious example of mass layoffs?

In 2022-2023, we've had these mass layoffs.

Meat giant Tyson Foods is laying off about 15% of senior leadership roles and 10% of corporate roles, according to an internal memo shared with CNN.

Y'all gonna boycott meat? I didn't think so.

3M announced significant layoffs as part of another major restructuring plan. The brand behind Post-It Notes and Scotch Tape said in a statement it would lay off 6,000 staff around the world.

Gonna boycott tape? Ear plugs? Sticky notes?

Lyft (LYFT)’s move in November to cut 13% of its workforce, citing fears of a looming recession.

Buzzfeed announced a 15% reduction in its workforce, or about 180 employees.

David's Bridal is eliminating 9,236 positions across the United States but did not specify how many stores would be affected.

Walmart is laying off more than 3,000 workers.

And I know many people can't afford to boycott Walmart.

Meta announced an additional 10,000 layoffs across several months on top of mass layoffs in 2022.

You still use Facebook? I personally loathe it and only keep an account for marketing reasons. I can barely even make it work anymore.

Three rounds of layoffs hit Disney (DIS), announced through a March 27 internal memo to employees. Around 7,000 people will be affected by the move over the next several months.

Amazon (AMZN) said in March it would cut 9,000 jobs, bringing the total number of Amazon (AMZN) staffers eliminated this year to around 27,000.

Indeed.com announced cuts of approximately 2,200 employees, representing almost 15% of its total workforce, the company said in March.

Satellite radio giant SiriusXM laid off 475 people, or about 8% of its workforce, as part of a broad restructuring.

Zoom (ZM) said it will lay off about 1,300 employees, or approximately 15% of its staff, in a memo to employees in Feburary.

Dell (DELL) laid off roughly 5% of its workforce, the company said in a regulatory filing in February. Dell had about 133,000 employees, the company told CNN. At that level, the 5% cut represents more than 6,500 employees.

Gonna refuse to use your computer?

Microsoft said in January it would be laying off 10,000 employees, according to a securities filing.

This was only up to around March of this year. There's loads more.

Point being it's ridiculous to boycott a company and hurt the people who made a thing they love just because they got laid off.

This is what corporations do. There is 0 loyalty to the employee at a corporation. It's all about the bottom line.

Maybe all y'all haven't worked in corporate, maybe people are hopping on the 'I'll boycott too' bandwagon. IDEK.

I honestly don't care if I change anyone's mind about it all, but it’s silly. Just outright ridiculous to expect a corporation to do anything but what corporations do.

It's not right. It's awful. I hate that Bioware basically backstabbed the creatives who made them what they are. But it's not new or even remotely rare. Bioware has laid off roughly 125 employees in the past handful of months.

Every company I named laid off far, far more. And if you think I'll believe you're going to boycott Microsoft, you must have a bridge you want to sell me, too.

Here's the source, if you want it.

CONFESSION:

I love dragon age. I really do. It remains my favorite rpg and I’ve returned to each game countless times since Origins came out, and I’ll probably continue to do so for years to come. But god do I wish they would stop putting such huge plot information in supplementary material. The Maric books, the Cassandra mini-series or even Masked Empire is one thing, but Asunder entirely changes the context around how the player approaches the mage-templar war. Half the fandom coming in to Inquisition for the first time thought this was a direct result of Anders from 2 - Not the result of a lot of mages voting to break from the Circle. It could have been its own spin off game, or a mini series too. Hell, there’s more to Sera’s cookie story that feels like a stronger drive for her character in world of thedas(Ferelden denied her inheritance from the woman who took care of her because she was an elf???), but you wouldn’t know any of that unless you go out of your way outside of the game to hunt for it. It’s tiring that they write out all this big, important information everywhere EXCEPT the games.

Just started DAO Awakening and since I brought my character from the first one over to this game in the scene where Alistair arrives at the beginning he calls her love and wife and says he wishes he could join her but obviously can’t because he’s king and it’s just so cute!!

They’re my otp for this game series and I made one of them myself lmao

#he even called her a minx 😂😭 #I love them #he’s literally sat in the throne room sighing like “I miss my wife” #while the members of the court are just sat there like “🙄 we know” #hc that they’re literally so in love that they’re inseparable especially after almost losing each other and everyone else is like oh ffs #whenever they have to be separated because they know they’re going to have to deal with it #dragon age #dragon age origins #dragon age origins awakening #dragon age series #dao #female cousland #female warden #wynn cousland #alistair theirin #dragon age alistair #alistair x warden #alistair x cousland #cousland x alistair #warden x alistair

I've seen a lot of people on here encouraging people to play Dragon Age, and yet not a single one brings up any of the content warnings that the should - like how City Elf starts off with an offscreen rape. Considering this annoying trend of people considering warnings as spoilers, I'm urging you to please include warnings.

Lots of overall fantasy racism and discussions of slavery, a fair amount of sexual assault - these games cannot be recommended lightly.

Warnings for Origins. - not included is the biphobia, which is how female Wardens can reject Zevran and call him disgusting for his bisexuality

Warnings for DA2.

Warnings for Inquisition.
