It's definitely a tricky situation to navigate, especially when FG is still operating at least on theory and there are other people and their careers involved. Still, I don't think it's an awful look if you're able to come off insightful and reflective about the failures though.
There are also plenty of situations where you can't openly discuss the failure for various reasons. That can happen to most talented and hard-working people sometimes. However, maybe at that point it's not best to post weekly vague discussions on LinkedIn while maintaining zero-communication on the official game channels.
Different context, different timing, different merits and more time between the failure and the discussion, but here's Harvey Smith discussing Deus Ex: Invisible War's development.
