@Fringerunner The answer is simple: executives at the top and major shareholders. They are the reason they effectively said, “We know you don’t like it, but your $60-$120 isn’t going to make the bank, our only way of making money is off of the Specialists.” The game simple wasn’t built around the “ideal Battlefield game” it was centered off of the Specialists. I say that with zero reservations and one hundred percent certainty to be the case after reading the post. We will see if the * child of Battlefield/Rainbow 6 Siege/CoD/Warzone works out for them.
@gruntbrews_vicvYeah this looks very much like survivorship bias to me. They look at the people that stayed with BF and what else they are playing, instead of trying to figure out, which people left the franchise and why.
I liked the Abraham Wald anecdote about the analysis of bullet holes in bombers that returned after a bombing run, to strengthen the armor where the planes where hit. But ignoring the fact that planes that didn't return were most likely hit elsewhere.
