#dragonagetheveilguard Something I’ve noticed a lot of people aren’t talking about (or maybe they are talking about it and it’s just never crossed my corner of the internet just yet) is the fact that DAV shows us that oppression is cyclical 🧵

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us
Dispatch has sold 1 million copies in under two weeks

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division.
That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today.

A company like BW is made of hundreds of moving parts: many devs in many positions that make the games we love whay they are. Those people exist beyond a single corporate brand, and they seek gamedev talents all over to work with. They all deserve our support more than ever #supportGameDevs
Today is a good day to support my friends and former co-workers, whether they're at @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social, @summerfallstudios.com, @northmiststudios.bsky.social, or elsewhere. So many brilliant people making things that bring a little more love into the world.

Gods, I would love to contribute to this as The Sims has been my comfort place since the late 90s/early 2000s when the Sims 1 and 2. And this news just makes me want to scream into the voice. The Sims. Dragon Age. Mass Effect. So many of my favourite games are caught up in this. Fuck!
Working on an article about EA's aquisition by Kushner / the Saudi PIF, and its potential impact on queer and disabled rep in future games.
Particularly focused on the future of The Sims.
Would love to chat to some queer Sims fans about their experiences and opinions.

While we all rage on EA- North Mist is a new indie games studio that nabbed Mary Kirby (Varric) and Sylvia Feketekuty (Emmrich, Josie) as writers!
They have a world building podcast (also on yt! 🔗 below), with Mary writing the first season that just wrapped up, and Sylvia's first ep just dropped!

The EA news is deeply personal .... but there's a bigger picture here that people need to see clearly:
Just as the RW takeover of news & soc. media orgs has become a HUGE problem--this is a big step into doing the same for games.
Buying up the means to convey culture = to control it.

Dragon Age and Mass Effect have never been perfect, but they have ALWAYS been at the forefront of progress of representation in video games. From queer romances, queer characters to trans identities and exploration of gender and identity. Infuriating that we have to worry about this changing.

Firstly, don't stress yourself out over that news. It's not worth getting yourself worked up over
Secondly, support the devs who helps make your favourite games. I'm more concerned with the employees than the IP, honestly.

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up
