Out of the games listed in bold. Not one of those franchises have had a hit in the last 15 years. Which is a shame. Some of my favorite games of all time. But id were being honest the same people who made those games do not work at there anymore
Game play has never really been their problem, they couldn't ripcord and pull Anthem around soon enough on the end game narrative and game cycle. The writing on Andromeda was not fully up to spec through the red lense of their prior games.
The problem with both Andromeda and Anthem was that Bioware spent way too long fucking about in preproduction trying to figure out what the game should be.
Andromeda with its procederally generated planets to explore until EA started asking where the actual game was.
Anthem with its... everything to the point an EA exec had to tell them "No. Put the flying back in. That was fun. Why did you take it out?"
Veilguard I put at EA's feet though. They had to reboot that game twice from a singleplayer RPG(Dreadwolf) to a live service game, and then back to a single player game because live service games were dying left and right.
Veilguard's writing I put on Bioware though:
("The elven gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain"
"The elven gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain"
"The elven gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain"
"The elven gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain"
"The elven gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain"
Yah yah I GET IT! I GOT IT! WE'RE FIGHTING THE ELVEN GODS SHUT UP ABOUT IT!)
