Why does every communication seemingly need to be produced and reviewed by multiple levels? The feel inauthentic and sanitized and devoid of any passion, emotion, or feeling and make it seem like DICE doesn't really care about this game. Especially given how infrequent they are and how each one feels like you're coming into the doctor's office to get teeth pulled out, not like you want to communicate or engage with the community.
The apology is nice if we believed DICE was actually sorry, but given that DICE has yet to apologize for launching a poorly designed, incomplete game and that they as a studio have done nothing to improve communications since release...
I don't think anyone believes you. Not you as a person, but "you" as DICE, the studio. Literally nobody believes you, you've broken that trust.
What frustrates me is they act like this is totally normal and all part of a live service model, when in fact it's totally willful incompetence and totally lack of respect for the paying customers.
If they gave weekly updates on what they are working on, what's going to plan and what isn't, at least the customers can see what is being actively being worked on.

@dansk1984Bungie and Bethesda both have weekly update posts, even if they're not super exciting, keeping folks in the loop with what's being worked on, what they've done, and what is coming. They did this throughout the time that Destiny 2 / Fallout 76 were bad and needed a lot of work - like 2042 - and keep it up now to keep a healthy level of community engagement.
DICE seems unable or unwilling to learn from others in the industry.- RMEChief3 years agoLegend
From our end we want to be sure that when we share something with you it's confirmed and accurate.
Oof.
