Bioware Memes

Remember when we thought Bioware, Bethesda, and Rockstar were untouchable? When EA was the only villain in gaming? Well, turns out EA was just playing 4D chess while everyone else speedran their reputation into the ground. Now we've got Maxie (probably Gearbox), Badomi (Ubisoft), and ARE (who even knows anymore) joining the "how to destroy decades of goodwill" club. The kid asking "Gee Whiz where we going PapEA?" has now witnessed the entire gaming industry become what they feared. EA's standing there like "told you so" while everyone else crashed and burned with microtransactions, broken releases, and corporate greed that makes EA look like a charity. The final panel? That's EA shooting the industry's reputation while we all watch in horror. Except now it's not just EA pulling the trigger—it's everyone. The prophecy has been fulfilled, and somehow it's worse than we imagined.
