Urge AriZona Chairman Don Vultaggio to Acquire Bioware from EA


Urge AriZona Chairman Don Vultaggio to Acquire Bioware from EA
The Issue
GUYS. GUYS. HEAR ME OUT.
In the light of Netflix and Paramount fighting over who gets to swallow Warner Bros, I have realised something: There are TWO TYPES of corporate greed. Type 1 is the greed that hungers to OWN EVERYTHING IT CAN, and type 2 is the greed that will sell its firstborn child just for more money. Netflix and Paramount are obviously Type 1 Greed. But EA? Well, it could be both. However, due to recent events (Dragon Age The Veilguard flopping + most of EA being bought by Saudi Arabia), I think EA would be very willing to part with Bioware for some pocket money. You know, after they destroyed it, fired David Gaider, and still expected to profit. Plus, the new shareholders probably aren't huge fans of Bioware storylines anyway.
Where does Don Vultaggio come in?
Well, to put it shortly: He seems like he doesn't suck. To elaborate: He refuses to raise the price of AriZona Iced Tea, which leads me to assume he's not the greediest goblin on the planet, and he has some kind of sympathy for consumers. So I'm hoping against all hope that Don, having the assets to purchase Bioware, would let the devs do their damn job. No chasing after money, no senseless layoffs, no unreasonable deadlines: Just developers, writers, and artists allowed to practice their craft in peace, so that hopefully in a few years we can get back a speck of the RPGs that stole our hearts. I dunno, man, the world just REALLY SUCKS right now. I think we deserve to AT LEAST have the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises by our side as civilisation is plunged into a man-made apocalypse.
Don't worry, I'm not delusional and I learned that we cannot, in fact, have nice things. So I don't think this petition will amount to anything. But if it does, that honestly wouldn't be the craziest thing that happened this year.
