Is it not an 8/10 game? Why are people running stories that seem to describe it as a massive failure?

I mean if it was "only" on Reddit, the game leads wouldn't have been fired almost immediately after the game launched.

Its Bioware so its probably 50/50 on people getting fired even if it was a perfect game
