This Game Is Broken! (sorry to state the obvious)

I am an idiot. Buying this unfinished game made me stupid. What made me an idiot was buying the Xbox One copy of the game accidentally and because I had played a few games before realising that only 64 players was the limit I then (after being refused a refund by EA) went and paid another 90 bucks for the Xbox X version. The only noticable difference between the two was 128 players and playing vs pc. I'll own being an idiot but will EA also own their idiocy robbing players of their hard-earned cash for pre-release purchases (and post release purchases) of a game that is clearly 1 to 2 years off being in a AAA release state, top tier priced game? It's like buying a new car that breaks down half-way home from the dealership. Putting the glitches aside, the totally bizzare decision to not feature voip chat in a team strategy BF game aside, the even more bizzare lack of a scoreboard aside, the cringy character sterotypes aside, the not-knowing-what-your-ping-is because there is no server browser aside, and I could go on and on but the bottom line is despite all of these gripes, THE GAME IS BROKEN! I can rarely get to the end of a game before it crashes and I return to the Xbox home screen, that's if I can get in to playing a game without all the stupid connection errors that send me back to the boat on the water. or in the "unable to load persistance data"" loop.

EA is guilty of long term, industry destroying behaviour by releasing this garbage. Happily scooping up money from the "suckers", knowing full well their product was miles from finished. I will never pre-order again, no matter what is dangled to entice or how shiney and exciting they make the previews nor will I ever buy a game until I have vetted through [honest] reviews. Focus on a good product and money follows. Focus on money and you lose sight of why people liked the product in the first place. Complete brand destroying behaviour that I can happily say, EA are bigger idiots than me!
