Am i the only one not liking this "create a game by socio media" model?
Let me say from the onset, i have not bought BF 2042, and am still on last gen. And so i never got to play the 128 player modes. Just the last gen trial. However, news of this update hit IGN, and the reaction of ending the 128 players on one, if not their main game mode, not going down well. Going back to Reddit after many months, a barnfire.
It seems to me, DICE is a developer that just seems to anger more people than any other i have ever seen. I remember ttk and many the issue with them very well over the years. It seems on the one hand they are a very insecure studio, just not knowing which way to go. I certainly don't think they do these things to troll people. Its more they not knowing what they're doing, and seem to always go to outlets, and use those outlets that may have a vocal minority f folks who actually purchase their games.
And where it gets angering, they have no concern for those who bought the game, under the guise it was advertised and sold.
Where i come from, that's just very bad business.
How do folks purchase a game, not knowing what the game is or will become? Or having to relearn it, or otherwise too late for they to get their monies back. This is not a Free to Play game or Early Access Greenlight, where i suppose developers can try anything. As an aside, i got burnt with another game, along these same lines. The game being changed to something not advertised, and so i feel these folks pain immensely, having have to post about it.
I really wish, if a developer does not know what they're doing, do NOT sell a game. This trend that sees to be going on of Developers taking cues from kids that likely never held a job, but want to dictate policy to a billion dollar company, and generally would not end well i would think. However, the Developers are supposed to be the adults in the room, and ultimately the ones responsible for business decisions.
Given the dismal track record of this DICE studio, i hope EA may consider at this point, replacing them, or just getting them out at Lead. Our money doesnt grow on trees to have it wasted in so that DICE could make the money we spend a school science project. It's frustrating, angering and wrong. Thanks for listening.
