That's basically what happened to Guerilla Games and Killzone 2 for that notorious E3 showcase. They knew that wasn't real gameplay and never meant that to go out to public and a Sony marketing guy put it in the reel at the last minute so they were surprised watching it with everyone else. It's literally false advertising (many people were only interested in Anthem because of that original E3 trailer, I know I was because the flying and movement looked a certain way that they completely removed after) and wish these companies would be held responsible or that the devs would be honest that they weren't going to be able to hit that or that it was just a proof of concept.

This reminds me of my dad. He’d been a chemical engineer in the refining industry for his whole life. He’d risen to be a huge name in the industry. When it came time to retire, his coworkers tried to find his big mistakes and add up how much his mistakes had cost the company... but they couldn’t find anything. He’d been working for 50 years and never had a single mistake. They asked him how he could do that and he responded roughly: “Oh I made plenty of mistakes. I was just smart enough to trust the people working under me even if they didn’t have a fancy degree and to take their feedback into consideration every time. The reason why I never made a mistake after the fact is that the labourers below me helped catch all my mistakes before it became a problem.” I’ve always taken that to heart and it sounds like BioWare needs to learn from that.

As I understand, companies basically represent unions as the worst-case-scenario, focusing only on perceived negatives, spun to make it seem like they are a terrible thing for workers and play on the fact that people like to think they are better than each other (e.g. the whole "unions allow people to be lazy and those lazy people take advantage of the hardworking ones" trope - points like this I'm sure fail to look at more than one example of a union or address any factor other than throwing out the easily swallow-able character judgment of 'lazy' people who are 'freeloaders').

But with less uniquedness for secondary and tertiary missions. Bonus objectives and randomly generated missions were an absolutely shitfest specially VOELD. Then in the story.. you find that almost all your actions at first are useless. because you're not really an explorer.. others already discovered the places you are going. There are already other humans everywhere.. the only unique thing was the missions with the robotic thingies whose name I do not remember right now and the first contact on Jaal's homeworld and Aya. all the other worlds? had the taint of humans already making the supposed "you're an explorer" feel like a lie.

They spent 7 years just making workarounds, and the team was exhausted and fretful. The game was rebranded and moved to the PS4, so Square Enix insisted the game be made using their new in-house engine: Luminous, which was also unfinished, and the problems began all over again (though at least that engine could handle making an open-world game).

Well... comparing DA2 to DAO... Then comparing Inquisition to DA2... Inq story: a rehash of DA2. Mage v Templar. Was it an aftermath of the situation? Yes, but it still was MvT, and nothing in the game even remotely tries to solve that. Characters: somehow a perversion of DA2... see Varic... See the Hero of Ferelden, see Hawke... Villains: Are you fucking kidding me that DA2 had the same dude in a DLC and somehow did the battle far better than Inquisition? "Romancing": Somehow Inquisition romance options make fucking your sister in DA2 a viable and sought-after option. The only redeeming quality of Inquisition was the Dragon fights, they were the most memorable and rewarding fights, especially on the Nightmare difficulty. Yet, for all the awesomeness the fights poured, one still recalls the absolute depravity they had to go through to achieve it. It's akin to sleeping with the dirtiest, most disease-ridden whore one can find just so you can get a good orgasm.

We can go even further. What if this refers to the management that hampered the game's development process all the time because they could not make up their minds and changed the lore all the time. Hence a world left unfinished by shapers = the people behind the story. It's something to think off for sure.
