Game is currently on sale for $25 at Amazon right now. 64% off in 3 months after launch. That's epic flop levels of sale. Maybe even worse than Ubisofts discounting.

But remember guys, DrAGoN AGe Da VeiLgUaRd iZ a ReTurN 2 FoRm 4 BiOwArE.

Don’t worry guys it’s not dead!
Bioware dude, just because 6 months from now you'll be able to get Veilguard for $9.99, it doesn't mean it's not dead.

It's got to be one of the only notable RPGs that didn't even have one download of more quests and DLC. After it launched, EA immediately stated they arent even supporting the game anymore and (at that time) moved Bioware staff to the next ME game. EA quit on the game asap after launch. Talk about abandon ship. lol

This is just another proof that these retards don't even understand how proper "pandering" works.

The entire "harem genre" in popular Japanese fiction (manga, anime, games) which is more or less the ultimate form of deliberate wish fulfillment/pandering, is usually defined by having a gallery of girls vastly different from each other, as each one is supposed to serve a specific taste/fetish in the audience..
The shy one, the bold one, the sexually aggressive one, the demure, the genki-girl, etc... And physically you have tall, small, busty, flat-chested, big ass, athletic, muscular/tomboy, the mature one, etc, etc.

This idea that all female characters should be flattened into a single template to "pander to the male gaze" and this would lead to a lack of diversity is a failure of THEIR imagination.
Of course, the thing is that each one of them is usually designed to be considered hot and to be an ACTUAL female, which they absolutely can't stand.

The whole premise is just stupid. You don’t go to see an action movie, or watch a soap opera, or whatever in order to see a bunch of relatable, average, down to earth people. You go to see larger than life heroes and impossibly beautiful people who embody the ideals and archetypes that are deeply engrained in our culture and history.

It’s been like that since since storytelling was a thing and it ain’t going to change no matter how much it bothers these braindead postmodernist babies. Fuck with it at your peril.
