I feel like the story has good ideas but ultimately fails, personally. I like the idea of struggling against inevitable tragedy, but when the cause of such tragedy was against always immediately in arms reach of you and caused by a single person it falls flat.

Access journalism. If you agree to say whatever EA wants EA gives you first access to the next game, which increases your views. Idk the exact process for this game, but big publishers often bribe these reviewers with expensive vacations too (it's why they fly journalists out to demo the game instead of sending the outlets a digital demo), Bethesda did it with 76 for instance.
Man can i just say; fuck those right wing tourists? All their pointless screeching does is drown out actual criticism and give bad developers an excuse to ignore feedback. If they cared they'd actually have something to say, like how the combat shouldn't be hack n slash and is uninspired even for a hack n slash.
Um... Literally everyone in the industry? It's not a secret that access journalism runs rampant. if you need an individual just to look through Jim Sterling's videos on the subject, she often talked about her time before going independent.
I know it sounds bad to say it now, but games journalism has always been terrible. You can find examples decades ago of access journalism and journalists who didn't even play the games they reviewed. Sure, back then they were usually harsher than they should have been, but i feel like that was healthier for the industry.
Either they have an unshakeable faith in the game, or they have so little faith it isn't even worth protecting to them. And i don't see a reason to have faith.
Someone recently talked about the next mass effect, and honestly with the way this is going i think they should shelve that talk until they're sure they aren't going under. They clearly don't have the talent/drive they used to have and EA has always been trigger happy.
Positive response? They obviously bought that, man.
Should have never even started such a mind numbingly stupid project. Shouldn't have kept any assets either.
I feel that way only about the fan games tbh, i love the reborn series of games, but high level Pokemon really shows the holes in the system. Gamefreak meanwhile genuinely seems like they are bad at their jobs, and they certainly haven't put effort into it in a long time.
A friend of mine has a modded Minecraft server and I've decided to make a magical train. It's slow going, mainly because i keep getting distracted.
A new era of bad games. Look at Pokemon, those games are almost always bad now, but because it's already popular it'll never improve or go away.
