So EA put way too high of a sales target on the game, obviously held it back from becoming what it could be, and now are blaming the studio with layoffs, ensuring the next game will flop.
I don't care what their "numbers" and "projections" were. The game was on the top 10 list in Steam. Even if it wasn't an A+ game I'd say it looked like it at least hit Assassin's Creed numbers, I'd hardly call that a failure. Sounds more like a failure to accurately predict, maybe they should fire their business analysts instead of the people who you know, make the games.
But the business analysts are the most profitable group, anywhere! If you don't believe me just hire a business analyst to analyze things and they'll prove it to you!
