Recently, a former BioWare screenwriter David Gaider was interviewed by foreign media Gamesradar. He complained that his views were outdated in the eyes of EA.He liked to follow the traditional RPG mechanism when he participated in the development of the Dragon Age series, but EA believes that this is not popular.They think there is no need to make games against die-hard fans, because these idiots will pay for their games to play.
David Gaider said: "I'm very outspoken on the Dragon Age team. I always try to push the game to traditional mechanics. But this is not popular in the eyes of EA... They think that classic RPGs such as Dragon Age: Origins have slow and cumbersome mechanics, while they prefer a 'mobile and smooth' game experience..."
Gaider continued: "Another reason is that EA does not need to pay special attention to the traditional RPG player group. They think these people are like 'wankers who live in caves'. As long as EA makes an RPG game, those wankers will always pay for money to play."
Gaider then added: "In EA's view, a preference for the game genre means not having to worry about the nerds, nor having to struggle to attract them. Just worry about the people who are ‘not in the cave’, those are the audience EA really wants, and the number is much larger."
Gaider said that the end of the concept of EA is "Anthem", an online service game.However, it failed completely after its release and was completely abandoned within two years.He believes that the failure of "The Anthem" has prompted EA to refocus on single-player RPG development, such as "Dragon Age 4" launched last year and "Mass Effect 5" under development.
However, Mass Effect 5 is still in the pre-production stage, and players may have to wait for a while before they can see the true appearance.
