Dragon Age: The Veilguard significantly underperformed, missing its engagement forecast by 50% (approximately 1.5 million engagements). This substantial miss highlights a failure in both game development and market forecasting.
EA FC 25 continues to face challenges. Overly complex, plagued by bugs, and lacking a clear direction, the game struggles to maintain its former "cool" factor. While still likely to achieve strong sales, its long-term prospects and cultural impact remain uncertain.
The underperformance of Dragon Age: The Veilguard raises concerns about the studio's health. The departure of key personnel suggests deeper issues, and a studio closure may be necessary to address these challenges.
Furthermore, the declining appeal of EA FC 25 underscores the need for increased competition and a potential re-evaluation of the game's current structure. Breaking up the package and offering more streamlined options could revitalize the franchise.
