No, it failed because making a good game was pushed aside in favor of making a game with a message—and not even a very good one.

I see! So there was some kind of explicit order, or at least concerted effort with explicit goal, to make a game with "a message". And I assume we have all the evidence to look at to see the day-to-day chain of events that led to the market failure.

No?

Seriously though, there were many reasons why DAV failed, and "having a Message" was not even in the top 100. Every piece of media has a message.

It makes no sense to have nonbinary people in The Veilguard!

...This is literally just the "historical accuracy" argument.
