Feels like BioWare is trying to control the narrative a bit too much here. Selectively handing out review copies could make fans question the positive reviews that do appear.
 
Honestly, it's disappointing to hear that BioWare is dodging critical voices. If the game has issues, wouldn't they want to know so they can improve? Seems like they're just focusing on the short-term hype rather than building genuine player trust.
 
This seems like a risky move from BioWare. By not sharing review copies with critics, they could end up losing more credibility than if they'd just faced the criticism directly. People tend to notice when only positive reviews come out, especially with a game as anticipated as Dragon Age.
