@Adamonic Do you think it’s possible EA/DICE is trying to move on from this game ASAP, and therefore they are doing things to accelerate more player decay? Their actions (or lack of) would support this theory.
The company and leadership seem wildly unethical and fraudulent. Nobody in their sane mind would have released 2042 in the state that it was in, but there was no way they were missing holiday season and a big Q4 earnings report.
Sad. I miss the days of smaller studios designing amazing products. Mostly because they had to (nobody was gonna buy a crappy game from a no name studio) but more importantly most of those studios had ethical, engaged, and thoughtful development teams/studio owners.
