Yes, that's clear. The fact that there are several styles of players, whether they are beginners or veterans of the franchise or players coming from other games, is a good thing. But I think that novice players or those who are not Battlefield fans should only be a minority in the tests. Because the heart and support of Battlefield really comes from real players and veterans who have spent many hours on the game. Personally, I have been there since Battlefield Vietnam, so for 21 years. I have seen the rise of the license and its evolution. I think that experienced players, streamers, those who have years and hours of play should be a priority. Quite simply because by having experience on the best and worst of Battlefield and thanks to the time spent on it, they are more adept at feeling the points that are positive and those that need to be improved in order to send the information back to the development team to help as much as possible to evolve the Battlefield universe. Although the opinions of inexperienced players can be beneficial, they will never be as objective and meticulous. 😏 EA_Leeuw EA_Mako
The problem is that veteran players like you and myself (I started with 1942) no longer are EA’s target audience. The vets are mostly grown up mid lifers who have seen gaming evolve from fun into a money grabbing business. A lot of veterans have left the series or gaming altogether.
Speaking for myself, I haven’t and ever will spend any extra money to buy cosmetics. Unfortunately live service is the go-to business model for gaming these days.
So when selecting players for the playtests they surely want to attract new to the franchise players. This has also been clear during several earnings calls presentations.
Yes you are right. This policy is really unfair I think. Logic would dictate that if developers want opinions and feedback to improve the experience of the game they should turn to the public who are fans of the franchise, that seems normal to me. That's why I explained that the fact that players who are beginners or come from other franchises is a good idea but should be regulated and a minority. And I think that the concept of Battlefield Labs is a very good idea on the part of the Battlefield team, but it must be used correctly and fairly.
