Another week of silence from DICE
If y'all don't actually want to communicate or engage with your community that's lame, but that's fine. It's your choice as a studio to determine how you handle this. But could you at least have emp...

Don't know if this is true, but BF Bulletin has a screenshot from "someone". Have no clue if this is real or not.

@Adamonic There's a post in the Announcement forums in response to the 3.3 thread and IT CONTAINS AN APOLOGY...for the delay in communication, still no apology for launching a buggy, unfinished game or its overall handling.
I swear, getting a communication from DICE is like pulling teeth.

i'll log in on thursdays, do the weekly mission and that's it. 500+ hours and lack of new content has it so i don't want to play other than weeklys
Sentiment might be at an all-time low for the BF franchise and DICE. Players continue to leave this game.
And yet DICE remains, silently observing and seemingly unconcerned.
But hey, apparently comms are coming according to Marcus Lehto and the DICE CM's keep saying it's coming. I just hope we get off this, "FINE, we'll communicate with you once a month if that will shut you up" mentality and there's a hint that DICE actually cares about the community and wants to engage with them to help turn this disaster around. I feel like even in his role not as a CM, Marcus is doing more to try to give folks a reason to believe in Battlefield than the entirety of DICE right now, and he's not even doing that much (not his fault, he's new in the role and building a new team, he's not in charge of 2042).
I'm just wondering if we'll ever hear from Vince now that he's overseeing the franchise.
Since launch the low active player count on Steam never dipped below 2K players for more than 5 days straight (normally all weekdays). This was a normal occurrence every week in March. However, we now have hit 8 straight days and the first weekend where the low active player count dipped below 2K on Steam. It was also the first weekend where the peak active players did not hit 3K.
The average player count for the last 30 days is down to 2K and falling.
It looks like Steam is between 20-25% of the potential player count (Origin/Steam/PS/XBox). So at best 3K on Steam is 15K total players (if Steam is only 20% share) and at worst 2K is 8K players (if Steam is 25%).Right now BF2042 has less active players on Steam than BFV, BF1, AND BF4!
- @Adamonic And what's worse, BF4/1/V all launched on Steam years after it launched on Origin, while 2042 launched on both platforms on the same day.
Sure makes you wonder why DICE doesn't seem more motivated to move quickly, unless they've already determined to abandon the "minimum-viable-product" they shipped with "minimum-viable-support" while hoping us idiots buy the next game. Agree with you. And this game still alive??? 🧐🧐🧐🧐
