So forgive me if this has been posted before but in a nut shell a Bio-ware writer who has written a lot of content for DAO, SWTOR and other games, had an interview 5 years ago and how she feels that story to her is more important than game play. Recently some gamers took screenshots of those things and Photoshopped them next to a picture of that person, where her quotes were butchered and completely taken out of context next thing you know.

Go Go Bio-Drone Rangers


So anyways long story short the Bio-drones went off like a fuse calling the person "the cancer that is killing Bioware." That they hope she gets cancer, thats she dies in a fire on top of a mountain of other things. Than she made the grave mistake of fighting back and using "Common Sense" and....

Mega Thunder Bio-Drone Zord GO!

And the harassment went as far as to actually calling her house and leaving death threats which also lead to her closing down her twitter account. Well here's one link to the story they're probably more.

go go bio-drone rangers...........

It's their last bastion of "power". I'm going to be frank, most people that spend copious amounts of time on videogame forums aren't exactly studs in the real world. Internet (anonymous) forums are the last refuge where they can be "somebody". And the results? Well, yeah...spending 10 minutes on any videogame forum will tell you all you need to know...

I think you have the term backwards. BioDrones are the people DEFENDING and WHITEKNIGHTING Bioware.

One of the worst can do now is think that these people did this because they are Bioware fans.

Story isn't more important than gameplay. How are franchises like MGS, FF, LoZ, and ME so popular then? Great gameplay maybe be addicting, but it is the story that has you replaying the game, and keeping it alive in your memories; for the most part.

Well lets forget that her comments were taken "OUT OF TEXT" You don't phone someones house and utter death threats, especially over something so stupid if you do than you're the lowest type of scum.

Crazyguy105
This, the Bioware kids attacking her aren't Biodrones, the people that defend Bioware to death and their $200 million dollar failure are true Biodrones. I'm not defending what's happening to Hepler--it's pretty disgusting and mean--but anti-BioWare resentment has grown ever since EA came along and Dragon Age II was pushed out like the turd it is. Things have really come to a head with TORtanic and the Mass Effect 3 DLC.

I mean complaining and saying rude things on the internet is one thing but actually calling the persons house CAUSE OF A GAME is on a whole other level of jerkdom.

you also don't tell your fans they can't get laid

But they kinda did in DA2 with a ginger male character that spread rumours about himself being a blood mage to get himself laid (I did not play DAII, only watched that cutscene). He was like a character every bioware fanboy could relate too. :P We want more interactive dating sims situated between dragons, BioWare. It's like my ultimate harem anime fantasy coming true. :cry:

Yes they were they were they were the ones saying she is "the cancer that is killing Bioware." and blaming her for DA 2 even tho she had very little to do with the steam pile of crap that was DA2. See Bio-Drones can't even admit who they are any more.

BioDrones = BioWare fanboys who defend the company and their games no matter what, hence the "drone" part. If you want to trace the history of the title it began with /v/ and Dragon Age II, where everyone with a brain thought the game was crap but the BioWare fanboys kept insisting it was amazing. People who break free from the mold and start criticizing the company then cease to be BioDrones.

Not really. The attacks on her are exaggerated and she's party to blame for mocking those who are already upset with her.

The article was also written in response to an email that mostly was false.

she might as well keep her mouth shut and not make stupid comments about skipping gameplay, then, especially when you have collossal failures of gameplay like DA2 and TORtanic

So you're akin to a fan of a sports team, while she's akin to a member of said sports team. Moreso, you're like an armchair GM who thinks he can do a better job than the people who are actually involved. You can express your displeasure with your wallet, but that's about it. So if you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT.

You k'now, now I remember her and her borderline idiotic quotes...I don't condone harrassing or threatening her but it's in BW's best interest to keep that monstrocity away from writing the story. They do not need virgin fantasies over there.
