things like Star Wars Outlaws are off limits
That’s a bit too far in the other direction, innit?
Games (or anything really) don’t get immunity from criticism just because they take risks

Even I said in my comment it wasn’t a fantastic game. It likely could have been a lot better, and I don’t fault anyone bored by it. But I take issue with claims it shouldn’t have been made - that greenlighting it alone was the mistake.
“Don’t make bad game, dummy, just make good game” isn’t a tremendous observation.
Sometimes I don’t even think the way people summarize Ubisoft games as “open world” is a good descriptor of their failures. I will see people meanwhile applaud dozens of games that can all qualify as “open world”.
Maybe Ubisoft is deserving of a lot of criticism, but I’d also put them in perspective against an Xbox that is canceling studios and games left and right, and a Sony that just isn’t making anything except 8 more Last of Us remakes. No clue if EA even makes anything anymore.

Yeah outlaws was great, we get a fun non Jedi star wars story that feels part of the universe and stays open for room for more? It was a damn good time and I enjoyed Kay Vess as a character.
