For so many reasons.

Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.

Hey folks. As of today, I am no longer with BioWare. However, I am sticking with the wonderful team at Motive Studios for the foreseeable future. Got a fantastic project cooking here. I’ll miss my BW family, but the hope is that I’ll make my way back to ME when the time comes.

I was a writer at BioWare for 5 years (2011-2016). I leaned a lot during that time from exceptional folx in many disciplines, but also specifically from my fellow writers & our amazing editors, on both the ME & DA brands.

Today, not a single one of those writers & editors remains employed there.

Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it.

That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated.

Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

BlueSky posts by Karin West-Weekes and Patrick Weekes announcing their layoffs from BioWare. Both are now looking for work.

I'll echo Mike here and highly recommend both Karin and Patrick to anyone looking for a fantastic and highly-experienced editor or writer, respectively.

And, just once, I'd like to see a studio announce these kinds of layoffs without making it sound like a cheery plus for the company.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities.
I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy.

Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

Looking for work posts by Karin West-Weekes and Trick Weekes, both of which have been re-posted on my profile for a detailed read.

Karin and Trick are two of the most talented folks in their role I've ever worked with. Would strongly recommend if you have positions open.

So, my time at BioWare has ended. It was a wild ride with some fantastic people, but it’s time to look for new challenges. I’m an Editor / Writer with 26+ years of experience across video games, novels, short stories, newspapers, and marketing comms. If you know of a good fit, please let me know.

EA is never getting another cent of my money. Fuck them.

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.

IT'S DRAGON AGE THE VEILGUARD RELEASE DAY!✨

This piece helped me stay sane in the last few days before the release, and I'm more ready than ever to meet the new companions and dive into Thedas again!

T minus 39 hours until no one will ever be able to contact me again

I try to stay in my circle, but then people in my circle start doomposting about the grifters...
It feels so impossible to avoid

Did you know Thedas have two moons? 🌑
same as TWO DAYS LEFT TO PLAY VEILGUARD!!

Are you sure this isn't a dream? It still feels like a dream. Someone pinch me

I can finally say I have screenies of my canon Inquisitor again >:]
Expect Inquisitor Cepheus Lavellan all over the tl later!! And then even more of her on Thursday in Veilguard 💜🤘

over the past few days I've had a countdown to DATV on my insta notes, and it devolved into 12 Days of Christmas (which is entirely the fault of my former choir teacher and my little brother sharing the same braincells....) and now I'm thinking about rewriting the lyrics to match..

Everyone, please take a moment to thank our dear Little Shits, Linni, Awkza, and Raea for helping put together our spooooooky Halloween event!

Here's a 🧵 of some spectacular screenshots ✨️

I'm begging a dev to tell me what the fuck happened to him in DA2 😭

And don't you argue otherwise‼️ @lucaislost.bsky.social
