EA's BioWare will lay off 50 and cut ties with unionized Keywords playtesting group (venturebeat.com)

Neither the layoffs nor breaking ties with a playtesting company that knows their worth in the market sound like they're going to help BioWare make RPGs that can compete with Baldur's Gate 3, formerly a BioWare series.

True, as long as the game isn't cancelled. Though I suppose that'd be the end of the studio if it were cancelled.

At this point I'll be surprised if he's still alive.

The immediate effect will be to knock away much of the moral ground Washington sits on in this war.

Seems like a bad take. Making Ukraine whole is the greater moral priority.

Per the article, Russia and Ukraine have already been using cluster munitions with a 40% dud rate (unexploded ordinance being picked up by children being the major concern here) while the US cluster munitions under discussion have a 3% dud rate. These are not the same.

Yes it sucks that these will all have to be cleaned up afterwards, and there is a risk that some will be missed. But this isn't making the problem substantially worse than it already was, and Ukraine needs these for the success of its defense.
