"Why even make video games anymore? No, really. Why? We’ve hit another week and
another massive layoff, this time from a company that makes one of the biggest
games on Earth, Destiny 2. Oh, and this follows that very same company laying
off one hundred people in 2023. As we’ve seen over the last couple years, even
working for a well-regarded, legendary developer is not enough to save
yourself.

And while we’re finally getting the sequels to series like Dragon Age, let’s
not forget BioWare also fired one of its most experienced writers - a writer,
it is worth noting, who literally created some of the most important lore of
the series. So, again, why even make video games anymore?"
