Saying that a game given away free in a bundle indicates a failed game, is stupid. There have been a ton of GREAT games packaged with Graphics cards or other similar partnerships. Simply taking it and applying it to the narrative is stupid. Not saying this game is going to be good or whatever, but making these kind of claims is just reaching. This deal is more a push to try to get GFN subscriptions rather than to get people playing Dragon Age. So actually the opposite of your claim. Example: Black Myth Wukong was in a bundle like this, and it's one of the best games this year. So yeah..stop with this stupid click bait video crap.

[@TheTrentReport]

​@TheTrentReport you can't explain simple economics to these fools lol.

[@NewYears1978]

@@TheTrentReport Did you read my post? Wukong WAS in one of these bundles lol. Not only that but as I stated, putting a game with a GFN bundle is actually more of a benefit to GFN than the game. GFN sucks, so they put a game with it to try to boost GFN sales, NOT boost Dragon Age sales. So it's literally the opposite of what your claim in this video is.

[@TheTrentReport]

@@NewYears1978 Again, why not bundle with a known seller? Common sense test failed. Also, it is definitely used to sell the games. Ubisoft investors specifically asked about partnerships like this helping the company boost revenue for Outlaws and Shadows. But sure we see this happen with other games. Nevertheless, it is a way to boost sales for the game. And outside of hard data from BioWare, the figures do not look good for this game.

[@NewYears1978]

@@TheTrentReport I don't disagree that this game might be bad and sales are down. The partnership thing though is still a stretch. No one cares about GFN and no one cares about free games you get with buying a GPU or whatever. We just care about good games lol - we'll see if this game turns out to be good or not.
