The Dragon Age and Mass Effect series have probably had the best portrayal of LGBTQ+, women and minorities in general of any video game series. I found the way Veilguard handled being trans for example, absolutely incredible and powerful. They clearly put a lot of thought and care and clearly had diverse pool of devs who consulted with the right people. future BioWare games will probably backslide massively on queer themes and LGBTQ+ inclusion and other ‘woke’ things?
Imagine if you can only be a straight white cis man only romance straight cis women in the next dragon age game, with no queer people in sight. It wouldn’t even feel like dragon age anymore!
I can see them not touching the Sims too much since being inclusive is such a huge part of the brand and the main audience is women and non-gamers in general. I can imagine the new owners wanting to de-emphasise LGBT themes in franchises they see as more capital G Gamer oriented though. Bioware titles have been underperforming for like a decade now and every release has had a reactionary gamer backlash
