There's an extremely racist Twitter account who was responding to people, leaking stuff about Dragon Age, so he could complain about it, the account said that he had a friend who was reviewing it, this Twitter account posted a character as part of the leaks, a custom made character, which looks exactly the same as Matty's custom character, this friend was spamming the n-word and shit too over his Twitter account.

So it do be looking like Matty has been leaking stuff about Dragon Age to his piece of shit friend who has then been leaking stuff on Twitter, which if confirmed (which, it ain't looking good) will likely end Matty's career in this industry and cause him to be blacklisted by every single publisher. No sympathy for him if true but again, it's looking like it is true, a Bioware developer responded saying they are aware.

Made me laugh though, to be caught in this way, heh. People never learn do they...

I highly doubt it is going to matter much because Bioware probably won't be around much longer. Considering the lackluster reviews (only an 83)

Okay, I've seen Matty's response but for argument sake, if someone did break NDA which they would be doing if they shared review footage with a friend, then especially if this friend started leaking stuff, then yes, that would very much matter, even if the developer was shutdown, EA as a company would blacklist them and no other publisher would ever trust them.

I believe Matty when he says it wasn't him, I did think it would have been out of character for him but that just means it was his editor who leaked the footage to someone else which means he needs to fire his editor, that editor broke his trust and could have tanked his career, every publisher is going to ask him if he still employs the same editor now.

Anyway, Veilguard is 84 Meta after 51 Reviews, 83 Open after 53 Reviews. Those are not lacklustre reviews when taking into account...

A. Dragon Age as a series - Origins has a Meta of 86 though PC has only 1 less review but a widely different average of 91 so I'll be fair and average that out to 88. II has a Meta of 79. Inquisition has a Meta of 85 but PS4 only has 2 less reviews for an 89 average so again, I'll be fair and average that out to an 87. Which means the Dragon Age series has an average Meta of 85 (rounded up from 84.666). Dragon Age as a franchise has always hit the 80s and only once hit the 90s on Metacritic via Dragon Age Origins (PC Version). 

B. This is a big step up from recent Bioware releases, the most recent being Andromeda with a Meta of 71 and Open of 72 and Anthem with a Meta of 59 and Open of 61.

These two factors make me more optimistic for Mass Effect. Even if it doesn't hit the 90s as the Mass Effect franchise did way more than the Dragon Age franchise, we should at least get a strong mid 80s title out of it rather than Andromeda's levels. If a near mid 80s title is considered lacklustre and dooms a studio then this industry is screwed but I for one am not a 90+ obsessive and hope I will enjoy Dragon Age.
