It's just more mindless EA bashing from the haters. EA gets blamed for things while other companies get a free pass to do the same problematic things. Also Bethesda clearly has potential for being the worst now that they are charging people for mods while also giving very little of the profits to the mod makers. They kept on dumbing down their games and are milking Skyrim for years on end, also they bought the Prey IP while the sequel was in development then canceled it and made a completely unrelated game under the same name, it wasn't even a reboot.
I'd rather have a proper standalone pirates game than an Assassin game with a pirates skin again.
Ages of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships is probably the best pirates sim in existence and the developer really needs to revive the series with a third game.
