Ya know, as much as I personally would hate to see Bioware go the way of Origin Systems, Bullfrog, Westwood or Pandemic, I almost hope it does happen just so years from now I can laugh and point at people like you and say I told you so.
I find these words very immature and irresponsible. Bryy took the words right out of my mouth. Seriously, think before you say something. And think about how many good games we'll never see if they do as well.
On that note:
REPENT, THE END IS NIGH!
Is all I hear from doomsayers ever since ME2.
But seriously, I love Bioware. Both Mike and David went in and made this thread great.

You miss the almost hope part or what? It gets a little old when
the same 5 people jump all over anyone with any sort of criticism. We
get it, you want to kiss the ground Gaider walks on. Let it go already.
It's not about kissing the ground Gaider walks on, it's just about how you're using the pretex that it's fine to wish misfortune on a large organization of people who have mouths to feed, over an Internet rant. That's kind've low, regardless of whether your context says "almost".
I just find it incredibly frustrating to see the same few regulars run into a thread and defend every bioware decision like their lives depended on it. Of course I wouldn't want to see Bioware get the axe, but seriously, it does get really old after awhile.
Yet time and time again, there have been many posts of yours decrying the entirety of DA2's direction, debasing other people's opinions, or otherwise being a generally immature and unlikeable person to argue with due to this. If you disagree with a game's direct, that is your choice and that is perfectly reasonable, and fine; however, there is a right for those who are 'regulars' to defend the decisions due to their personal choice and preference.
Freedom of speech is a privilege, not a right, after all, and every person has the right to defend a companies decisions as much as the next person would, since it is of their sound mind and privilege to do so. If it gets old after awhile, then simply stop arguing with them and let them go on whatever tangent that they wish to go on against you, and let it die.
The immaturity comes in when you start debasing their opinions -- debasing facts is fine, since some facts they may or may not have gotten wrong or incorrect -- but their opinions are their own, and no one technically has the right to debase them, but I suppose you are -free- to, it is a privilege, after all.
Insulting someone else over their opinions goes into rather distasteful territory; you're free to disagree with them, surely, but insulting them just seems in terrible, childish taste.
As well, 'almost hoping' is one parsec away from 'hoping.' They are a milisecond from one another, and irregardless of 'almost' it means you are close to actually 'hoping' hundreds of people who have give us quality games one after the other goes down into the fishhole lose their jobs; untold number of those people may not find another job they like to work at either, some of them may be forced to go unemployed until they find work, others might be able to snag a job elsewhere. Getting a job these days is quite difficult, and to 'almost' hope hundreds of them do lose a job they love to do, a job they work hard at to give us quality styled games, is just as immature and childish as hoping.
'almost' is a parsec from 'hoping', and in my humble opinion, it is no different than wishing hundreds of people lose their jobs, perhaps some losing their homes and families, or others being put on the street; some will find jobs elsewhere, but not all of them will. Unemployment of any kind can destroy families.
So..'almost' hoping they go down is like 'almost' hoping families are destroyed, 'almost' hoping they're forced out onto the street. And from where I stand, 'almost' is just as childish as hoping.

I still cry myself to sleep over what Ultima became. Or maybe I would if I dwelled on it forever. Fortunently, Bioware doesn't seem to have met the same fate as Origin did, though Origin did seem to perhaps be sliding toward oblivion before EA, maybe, but we'll just keep blaming EA anyway, since they certainly didn't help. Yay for EA not being (as) evil anymore.
