I knew someone would pop in and shill for Respawn and EA. The game is funded through battle passes and skins. Development stagnates if EA sees that it isn't generating revenue. The game is not free (and the game doesn't exist) if the user base stops paying for these things. Like I said, I am taking a break, as it isn't fun to play test an unfinished game for devs while paying for its continued existence at the same time.
I agree with you that developing games AFTER release has become a worrying trend in AAA games : but when you're not charged for the game, I don't understand how you can possibly complain.

@AnlbrdI It would be messed up to complain about a free game, but since this game requires a percentage of its users to buy the battle passes and especially the cosmetics to maintain that free status, it isn't actually free. The battle pass isn't even what keeps the game free, as its main job is to maintain a healthy player count, attract new players, and, most importantly, introduce more cosmetics into the shop. It's the skins and cosmetics that generate the revenue, and if If people stopped buying skins and cosmetics EA would either axe this game or change it into a pay to win scheme. Charging 20 dollars to fans of the game is typical EA greed, and having us QA test it as well because they didn't want to wait for it to be ready for launch and miss the BR bubble is what is "galling" about it.
