A Request to EA from Me, a BF2042 Streaming Fan

The Battlefield series has had periods in the past where the player base shrank due to bugs, cheaters, and terrible additions, but BF 2042 has seen the worst decline in player numbers compared to any previous title in the series.

I, too, experienced that bizarre period right after launch when there were only three-digit numbers of online players on Steam, and I kept playing this game until the release of BF 6.

During that time, I encountered various streamers—I wonder if EA could at least send those streamers a word of thanks.

I play in Japan, and all the streamers I came across were Japanese; they really seemed to be having a great time playing. Occasionally, a viewer would comment, “I was debating whether to buy BF 2042, but seeing you enjoy it so much made me want to give it a try! I’m buying it!”

Of course, the EA team worked hard, but could you please send even just a few words of thanks to these streamers and content creators—who, unlike some others, continued to stream and upload videos while genuinely enjoying this BF2042 series that the current influencers, who gained popularity from past entries, had all but thrown in the trash?

As a viewer who loves watching BF2042 streams, this is my request to EA.

    Yes, I know—this is entirely a selfish request on my part.

    But could you please hear me out for a moment? Do you remember how, about a month after the release of *Battlefield 2042*, the number of concurrent players on Steam dropped to just a few hundred?

    While prominent streamers and content creators from all over the world—across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa—were moving on to other games, there were still those who continued to stream *Battlefield 2042* every single day, posting videos about updates and sharing clips of their enjoyable gameplay.

    I believe it is thanks to these individuals that the *Battlefield* series has managed to survive to this day.

    Without them, the appeal of this series might never have reached people who were previously unfamiliar with it. Furthermore, it would likely have taken much longer for the community to realize that the developer, EA, was genuinely working to address the various issues the game faced.

    Of course, I am not suggesting that everything is solely due to them. However, for those who kept shining a light on the "fun" to be found in a game that even the high-profile creators—the ones typically invited to EA’s priority events—had abandoned, surely there is a value that deserves far more recognition than it currently receives.
