Ghost of Yotei allegedly being written by the same people who wrote Dragon Age Veilguard

Season 5 No GIF by The Office

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
We gonna call all their games of the past retroactively woke too? Did this dude specifically fight to include pronouns or whatever folks hate? Mass Effect 3 had other story issues, they had to retcon the ending or something, no? Says "writer" and not "lead writer" or "senior writer" as is distinguished in past games. I'm pretty sure those are gonna be the same as the last game (and vet everything, duh). Is it known for having an amazing story so people fear the sequel won't? Playing it on PC but other games grabbed me more so I'm just at the start, it seems alright enough but not something I'll fondly look back on like games with great stories. Anthem had a cool setting if (but) nothing else and did flop before the "everything that fails is woke, everything that succeeds anti woke" sentiment some wanna push too. Keep digging for dat outrage. Edit: so he worked on every Mass Effect too, not just Andromeda, lol. Well, you can just claim he always did the parts you hate in every game and if there are no parts to hate blame him for the game not being memorable and just cancel him unless he joins the cause and publicly says Veilguard not my fault, I'm a sigma snowflake like you!🤦‍♂️

The ones that were just fired?
Edit: Guess they left before then.

Yes seems it is correct.

Come on, would anyone actually be so surprised by this?

Quick reminder that even the first was a game that depicted most of the men in the cast as cruel, incompetent and/or fools, most of the women as "badass warriors" and where your potential love interest, the man-faced bulldyke, was exponentially more manly than her own wimpy brother, the BLACKSMITH.
And for the sequel they were already doubling down with the female samurai as protagonist.

Are these actually bad writers or just someone to go after during a woke witch hunt?
Normally, I would have said that it was a nothingburger but GOY is off to a bad start. You have the loonie nonbinary pan-sexual actress/model with her questionable tweets and it seems she holds some resentment towards white people. Let's also be honest, she's not exactly the hottest woman on the block whereas Jin is a good looking man. The game stars a female ronin/samurai warrior who weren't common, and then this.

When there is smoke, there is fire.

It's a valid reason for concern.
Depends how good the game is

If it sucks we go after wokeness

Concern I get, and we should always wait to see how things turn out for the final project on any game but you have people flipping tables already just because of one game they were attached to while ignoring the other stuff they worked on.

GoT already had woke elements but this stuff wasn't very "in your face" like in 2024/2025 games. There is 75% chance that GoY will be very woke, but unlike Intergalactic it will have to be toned down to some extend by the setting.

This is going to be the next big controversy.

I called it as soon as I saw that they replaced yet another male lead with a woman. But the internet didnt care which was surprising.

I wouldnt be surprised if this chick is a lesbian as well.

The internet didnt care about the female lead? papi do you live in a cave or something?
 
Witch hunt? lol Who else added all the woke story and character bits in the game? The janitor? 😂
You're going to have a project lead with multiple writers. So who did what? I'm not defending the story in Veilguard, just that right now we don't know about these specific writers. There's just a lot of assumptions right now.

given they left years ago I’m not sure this is anything, do we even know what part (if any) of Veilguard that was released these folk are responsible for?

Just remember that we were supposed to get Tsushima 2 starring Jin and when these degenerates came in they immediately forced a woman protagonist on the team delaying the game which adds to dev costs. The actress they hired for the protagonist is LGBT and wants to push that agenda.
