Despite the hate, this RPG was one of the most downloaded games last month

Dragon Age: The Veilguard might just be the most controversial entry in the Dragon Age franchise. Even before its release, with some fans labeling it “too woke,” while others decried shifts in storytelling. Yet, despite the negativity, The Veilguard defied expectations by becoming one of the most downloaded games of November.

The backlash against The Veilguard seems rooted in a few factors. BioWare’s reputation has been shaky after missteps like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, with many fans hesitant to trust the studio again. EA’s involvement didn’t help, given its history of prioritizing profit over quality. On top of this, the game has been caught in the broader culture war that often surrounds modern media. Representation and inclusivity in games sparks polarizing debates, with some championing diversity while others claim it disrupts beloved franchises.
