It's amazing to me how in contrast, BG3 devs proudly shared their sales metrics over time as their sales kept growing. Meanwhile EA keeps it's big mouth shut, same with Bioware, while Jason Schreier has to play batter for them with "reached" terms, and not actual sales metrics.

When a company at any turn refuses to share actual sales data and doesn't sound proud, you know what they sold bombed. Proud publishers/devs will always want to cherish how many people have bought their games (Cult of the Lamb comes to mind for this, as well as celebrating their anniversaries).

At this point it's likely DA is done as a franchise, like how Wolfenstein got done over by TNC and it's follow up, Youngblood. Just another franchise done in by poor decisions (and letting activists make decisions is a bad idea in general).

What incentive does Jason have to play it up like that though... weird that he would and what benifet does EA get from people assuming their game wasn't a massive flop.
