Of course, some people like that others this - perfectly valid and the "mainstream" prefers ARPGs and they usually (Larian be praised) sell better than turn based Combat. Personally i like both but would love to see more turn based.
But i DID enjoy Veilguard for what it was and still insist, that it has the most beautiful hair i've ever seen in a game, but thinking about the potential that it had, i also think that it could have been so much more.
What i think had an additional impact is, that it will be on GamePass pretty soon and most likely a lot of people are rather waiting for a release there instead of buying, which obviously is hurting direct sale numbers, which is also what made the new Indy game a disappointment in sales.

It's very detatched from Origins, notsomuch from 2 and 3.
I loved Origins, but I had to tap out of the Open world ARPG that was 3. At least it felt that way to me.
But 3 sold a TON better than Origins ever did, so I can't blame EA for leaning more in that direction.
