Veilguard is a massive flop. It sold a lot compared to other games, sure, but based on the amount of money they spent and time in development, that was a shit investment. They were expecting like 10m sales, doing 1.5 instead according to whistleblowers.
Ummmm…Baldur’s Gate 3, anyone? How about Dragon Age: Veilguard? Those are just off the top of my head.
BG3, yes. Massive success.

Why are you citing mechanically rich games that happen to have a story?
Don’t forget that everyone has a hard-on for Witcher 4.
Dragon age isn’t a particularly good example. It was a massive flop.
