BioWare’s Divine Justice

BioWARE >have a formula for a game that your niche audience enjoys >slowly change it to appeal to a "wider audience" >it's shit and your core fanbase now hates you >some small studio picks up your game formula >they make the biggest game of the year while your studio is facing layoffs It's like some divine justice.

The meme shows a BioWare logo over a collage of BioWare-style fantasy and science-fiction game imagery, followed by a 4chan-style post about abandoning a niche audience, losing core fans, and being outperformed by a smaller studio. The punchline is that BioWare’s alleged decline and layoffs are framed as divine justice after another studio succeeds using its former formula.
