It is.
To think this is from Obsidian, who have a track record of being a pedigree developer...makes you wonder what on Earth went wrong.

My current most prevailing theory is that Microsoft is a huge part of the problem. Their whole Game Pass subscription model. They acquired Obsidian roughly 7 years ago. But it seems a number of studios under MS have been putting out low rate shovelware slop on a repeated basis now.
Like the idea of a new game from one of their studios is not made with the intent of being the best it can be....but rather sustain subscriptions for game pass at the lowest cost with minimal effort.

Crackdown 3, Redfall, Starfield and now Avowed. All seem like Game Pass filler at the sacrifice of genuine passion and TLC put in.

Good take on the whole Avowed situation, and the main problem with the industry at large.
