Which is to be expected when you actually produce what is almost the equivalent of a turd really.

Of course, I'm sorry for the devs who lost their job(or had to work on this project really) but releasing a project in the state it was is quite unforgivable and I'd like if it were just as much for the most anticipated games that ends up no meeting the technical expectations (Ex. Redfall, Cyberpunk 2077, etc ...)

This more than likely puts the blame on management and Embracer since they signed a deal to put out a bunch of LOTR projects and someone above greenlit this bad idea and rushed a game out. Devs get the blame. Can't know for sure of course but if anything like CP2077 that was all on management. A friend of mine used to work at MLB for the RBI games. He knew they were terrible but the guy in charge was hired due to nepotism and instead of using custom workstations are developers usually do, this guy wanted only Alienware PCs. Those piles of shit and no shocker they kept breaking down. MLB also wanted them out as fast as possible and quality was not a concern. With the Show now on all platforms the need for RBI died.
