either way we will not get any answers from dice. i would love to have an open and honest Q and A from dice but idk about you but i haven't seen ANYTHING from dice in the past that would indicate that is even remotely realistic for us to get. they treat everything as top secret and anything that does get disseminated is scripted and carefully controlled

I won't be putting mine there, if you catch my drift. I WILL NOT be pre-ordering as I usually do, simply because they haven't and won't respond to any issues we are having with real facts or conversation. I know the first Q&A will turn into a moderation nightmare, but you played the music and now it's time to dance. Take the lumps and it will get better...

If I get the next one, I'll wait 'til it's on sale for a fiver or something. DICE lost my money with the launch and how they continue handling 2042.
Some kind of Q&A's or literally any meaningful engagement with their community showing that they care and want to improve would go a long way in countering that. Why the leads at DICE think this current strategy is a winning on is beyond me, but I guess I'm not a product lead at a AAA studio so what do I know.

As per usual, whatever ends up being next, I won't be pre-ordering [as I haven't done that for well over a decade]. The only reason I even had this game at launch is getting a discounted [about 50% off] code from a friend that got it with their video card. And this is coming from someone who has played almost every single BF game that has come out on PC.
Q&A = maybe having to be honest not a word DICE understand.
We will only get a pre recorded video from the smug ones again.

my money is staying in my wallet when the next game comes out. i bought every bf game from 2 to 1. i skipped V because of sonderlund running his mouth. i'm not buying the next game regardless of how good it is. until they can release a proper game and not have the launch be a complete disaster i'm not buying another BF game. i will buy the one AFTER they get their * together
Agreed, I'd love a bit more transparency into the internal process.
There's times I'm just dying to know "What was the thought process behind decision X?", "How does Y fit into your list of priorities?"
I'd honestly be willing to pay to hear some questions answered, I'd happily buy some sort of 'Back stage pass' microtransaction that'd allow to me to get answers to a few questions.
I don't see the point.
They already put out regular patches/patch notes. Those are the answers to your questions.

Patch notes are patch notes, not answers to questions. They also only come shortly before patch updates, with little in terms of meaningful communication between patch drops.
Do you want to know how out of touch they are with reality, here is the BF2042 Tech Lead with jokes AND 5+ years GameDev experience!
