    Agreed @infantrypeasant ,

    EA definitely botched this one up...

    The open beta is not going live until end of this month.  And as result, matter of fact being too little and too late then for EA to use the beta for comprehensive feedback and adjustments across all game aspects in time for the full game release on October 22nd. 

    Obviously some things are not going per their original plan.

    The silence from EA is deafening!

    I'm sure this forum will have one or two threads on the subject when the news drops🤪

    @CyberDymeI think a lot of us pre-ordered and would be playing it on the 15th, BUT if the beta is awful I'm going to be canceling, from how bad I got burned on BFV with the hard-core normal abomination I hated that made the stop playing it for about a year. If the beta isn't fun I'm out until they fix everything and the 'beta' might as well be a demo that close to launch I agree they screwed up.

    Also good point the beta is too close to launch so any feedback or problems found from the beta or anything broken is going to be in the full game.

    @TankerFlanker indeed. discord is canceling their pre orders! screw dice until they figure this out. EA is down their throats. the game is being rushed as is. tired of companies not in it for their communities bc they sell them selves out to big names like EA. money hungry *

    after BF5 i cant understand why anybody would pre order again.

  • @iiBullFrog Economics 101: Corporations are in business to make money for their shareholders. Period. And, yes, shareholders put pressure on companies to give them a timely return on their investments (ROI). It isn't about 'feels' and community--though keeping their consumer base happy does greatly contribute to them remaining in business.

    Companies have to walk a line between shareholders who want quick ROI, and their customers who want a fantastic product for a great price--and, sometimes, it takes a bit more time and effort to give both sides what they want.

    If a product comes out too early and unfinished, there could be a backlash and loss of future revenue (Cyberpunk, anyone?). And if a company takes an extra year or two to make a product before releasing it, the investors might start jumping ship because they are mad about not getting some of their investment back, on schedule.

    Additionally, if you are in business, and you aren't "hungry" to get major money flowing in, you probably aren't going to last long--and you wouldn't be on my management team. You can be a great person, community leader, awesome father/mother, supporter of charities, etc. and still want to see lots of cashflow. Wanting to be successful, and live a truly exceptional life, doesn't make you evil; it's what you *do* with money that decides that. Having it, or wanting it, doesn't make you evil.

    Jealousy and envy are nasty things, too.
