BioWare was reportedly instructed to remove an LGBTQ+ flag from a canceled Mass Effect game. Reports indicate that the Mass Effect 5 studio received directives from EA to tone down inclusivity after the company's acquisition by Saudi Arabia, allegedly to avoid offense. The studio was also told to remove 'woke' content. These directives were reportedly made by a former BioWare developer.
