Talk:Dragon Age: The Veilguard

This RfC concerns what content to include in the lead, starting with the sales information.

Sales information

1. Do not include Veilguard's commercial performance
2. Include unit sales only; e.g., By year-end 2024, Electronics Art said the game had reached 1.5 million players.
3. Include commercial performance in relation to publisher's expectation only; e.g., According to Electronic Arts, the game missed their commercial expectations by around 50%.
4. Include unit sales and publisher expectations; e.g., Veilguard reached 1.5 million players by year-end 2024, missing EA's expectations by nearly 50%.
5. Include unit sales, publisher expectations, and performance against previous EA releases; e.g., Reaching 1.5 million players by year-end 2024, Veilguard outperformed Electronic Arts' previous single-player games but did not meet the publisher's expectations.
6. Other; provide proposed content alongside your vote.

Talk:Dragon Age: The Veilguard

This RfC concerns subsection headings.

3.1 Early development and challenges

1. Early development and challenges
2. Early development
3. 2015–2017
4. Eliminate the heading entirely & start the 3. Development section without an immediate subheading

3.3 Staff turnover and completion

1. Staff turnover and completion
2. Completion and release
3. Staff turnover and release
4. Staff changes and completion
5. Staff changes and release
6. Staff changes and post-release

Breaking this off into a chunk to generate heading ideas; feel free to update above with suggestions. Hopefully we can come to a consensus on this but if not, I assume we'll be able to eliminate a few options & figure out how to structure a more formal discussion.
