Disappointing to observe the COO blatantly lying and spreading misinformation

From the EA Townhall:

This is absolutely not true!

Exactly the very opposite was the uproar from the Battlefield community.  Matter of fact, the entire Battlefield community was upset as this was NOT Battlefield, but the opposite of what everybody wanted.  Instead all called it out as for what it was, namely a poor copy of COD, Overwatch, a hero shooter, APEX...

..."so we had to embolden the team".  What drugs are she on, honestly...?

And it get's better:

So "the game was stable" after the patches and "the early critical reception was good"?

Absolutely blatant lies again. 

As matter of fact, the patches actually introduced a myriad of catastrophically application crashing bugs that hadn't even been there before.

Many of them still around today, causing many paying customers not even able to start the game.

The last part regarding Halo is so extreme and crazy that it's impossible to fathom a C-suite member of EA can stand up and say such things...  So EA Sr Leadership are claiming now that the disastrous situation of BF2042 is caused by the release of the Halo Infinite multiplayer game???

So EA will have us to believe that all our issues we have with the BF2042 game, with crashing bugs, missing contents and features, and not being happy about it, the vertical drop off of the still active player population, is all just because of the release of Halo??? 

So we would all have been perfectly fine with the BF2042 game if it hadn't been for the Halo game coming out???

This is very upsetting to hear from the EA COO.

Did Halo remove VOIP from BF2042?

The scoreboard?

Destruction?

Hit registration?

Persistent servers?

Classes?

Functional sound designs?

Squad system that works?

etc, etc, with all the 100+ items we listed as missing or not functioning at all in our bug reporting on what we missed in BF2042 versus previous Battlefield games.

EA has now written the perfect playbook on how to drive an existing very popular franchise into the ground in just a few months time.

Further, it is very upsetting that EA Sr Leadership do not appear to learn anything at all and that the deliberate lying has to stop.
