- David Gaider from BioWare mocked gamers who criticized the female character designs in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
- The developer ridiculed their preferences, suggesting they were influenced by anime or adult content.
- Following the backlash from gamers, Gaider set his Twitter account to “protected” mode.
David Gaider, a writer for BioWare, recently spoke out on social media about the negative reactions to the design of female characters in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
In a series of posts, he made fun of gamers who say the women in the game aren’t “hot enough.” He called out their preferences, suggesting they are influenced by anime or adult content, and described these complaints as old-fashioned and troubling.
Why it matters: According to reports, Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s pre-orders are looking extremely poor, just a few weeks before launch. Mocking potential buyers will only make the situation worse for BioWare.
One key point Gaider made was about how beauty standards in gaming have changed. He argued that players who criticize today’s female character designs are stuck in old ideas influenced by adult media and 18+ anime.
He pointed out that the world has moved on and that character designs no longer fit these “outdated preferences”.
This rant follows growing frustration among BioWare fans, who feel the developer is not listening to their feedback and is pushing them away. Many players believe the new character designs don’t match their expectations for Dragon Age, with some saying the characters appear too “masculine” or “unattractive.”
Many in the gaming community didn’t take David Gaider’s tweets well, with some accusing him and BioWare of being hostile to fans. This frustration reminds people of the backlash during the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda when fans felt their concerns were disregarded.
Some even compared this situation to that of former BioWare developer Manveer Heir, who faced criticism for openly speaking against the fanbase in the past.
Anyhow, after facing backlash, David Gaider has set his Twitter account to “protected” mode. Many fans are now wondering if they should keep supporting developers who seem openly hostile toward the gaming community.
