      Ever since Dragon Age Origins? Their published games ever since then have been incredibly LGBT safe.

              That’s how these big companies work, they have multiple studios working on multiple games. You still expect the subsidiaries to mostly mirror the top end.

                EA will just shut down a studio if they don’t like what they are doing. BioWare is mostly responsible for dragon age. EA helped but not with the original game. My brother worked on that game for months, EA was basically the distributor

                  When has EA ever been in alignment with progressive society?

                  EA funded the game and put its name on it. That’s as good as EA itself putting out a game full of LGBT characters as far as anyone against LGBT rights is concerned. As you yourself said, they would’ve shut BioWare down if they didn’t like it.

                  EA was actually considered a fairly nice company to work for in terms of the gaming industry a very long time ago.
