With a launch that knocked Call of Duty off its Steam perch, Dragon Age: The Veilguard had a seemingly good chance to succeed. A detailed look behind the curtain, however, reveals how EA set the BioWare developers for failure.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Former-Steam-darling-Dragon-Age-Veilguard-failed-over-EA-s-erratic-strategy.1036178.0.html
The game is a woke mess. Terrible writing, unlikeable characters, no conflict. seems like coco melon writing on what'ssupposed to be a dark fantasy. EA has nothing to do (Besides putting DA Veilguard failed leadership in place) with it.
"Steam darling" in what way? It's always had mixed reviews on Steam and a peak player count of 89k is NOT impressive for a game of this alleged caliber. That's about 1/5 of what Black Ops 6 did, as I'm assuming that's the COD being referred to

knew some woke obsessed loser would bring this up even when absolutely nothing about the game doing ok (not bad) has anything to do with what you bigots consider "woke" aka anything that doesn't center a straight white male fantasy. you do realize not every game has to be a military FPS where you can genocide minorities filled with racist stereotypes and military propaganda fuckfest right? you people have been suffering from Minority Derangement Syndrome since the 19th century and it's pathetic.
The game failed because the writing was terrible, and people like DefineWoke loudly told 90% of the market the game isn't for us and we shouldn't buy it. So we didn't.
But go ahead and ignore that, why bother learning a lesson when we can keep trying to shove this crap down customers throats. Maybe next time they'll save the childish taunts until they've sold a couple units

They played it on gamepass and moved on. Game is a failure and killed the Dragon Age franchise.
