BioWare dev blames Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Mass Effect: Andromeda not getting a "fair shake"
Discussion comes up at the 2:52 mark
BioWare dev/Anthem's executive producer Mark Darrah seems to think some of the blame for the backlash over Mass Effect: Andromeda is due to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Darrah is asked if Andromeda got a fair shake, to which he says no. Darrah believes this is because the RPG genre was quite crowded at the time. When asked for a more specific answer, Darrah says Andromeda launched at the same time as Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
UPDATE - Darrah went into further detail on his comments via his personal Twitter account. You can see his comments here.
