It's tough to express how much of a bummer this whole mess has been. Veilguard is such an embarrassingly lazy, shallow experience.

Placing all of the blame on Busche isn't fair, as she was brought in at the end of the development process, but it was her leadership that prevented the game from getting the extra time it needed.

The creative and design aspects of the game's failure falls primarily on John Epler's lap.

BioWare was so special for such a long time. Watching them fumble the ball directly into the deepest part of the toilet three times in a row feels completely insane.

Fuck EA forever, man.

Is it a big commercial failure? I noped out of the series after seeing the direction they went with Inquisition, but I haven't really seen any negative press about it. Kinda seems like the article's just trying to stir up some shit

but I haven’t really seen any negative press about it

Are you saying you haven't heard anything negative about inquisition or veilguard? Because if you heard nothing negative about veilguard, I wonder how offline you've been for the past month.

It's true that I'm not on any other social media, but I'm here every day. There really hasn't been much talk about Veilguard at all. Nothing like, say, all the Starfield criticism.

The stuff I got from youtube was full of the veilguard situation which I don't really consider as "social media". Starfield was something I noticed far less of, ironically.
