  • Based on some other coverage I’ve seen, specifically from reviewers who were denied early review copies, it looks like BioWare/EA is doing what most companies do and shopping around for reviewers who will be especially positive. They’re just being especially aggressive with it this time around. It’s not a good look, but it’s expected for basically any major publisher.

    It sounds like after the early press only event they did a while back, a bunch of reviewers who were critical of the game then got ghosted by EA’s PR people and never received early review copies.

    So, like all pre-launch reviews take any reviews you’re seeing now with a grain of salt and wait until a week or so after launch to see the reviews that weren’t cherry-picked by EA’s corporate PR.

    Mull at least has been fixed in the divestOS repo. I can’t speak to fennec as I don’t use it.

    The version in the f-droid main repo is behind because of Mozilla changing their repo system thus screwing with the build process and at least for now currently requiring a compiler that doesn’t meet F-Droid’s (IMO slightly ridiculous) standards for allowable software.
