We all know the issues with this game, I'm not going to list them.To say this game is a cataclysmic failure is an understatement.The game came out 2 months ago and we have:-No new content-No roadmap for 2022-Complete silence from EA/Dice about this game and what they plan to do with it.Do EA/DICE stick to their vision for 2042?Do they go about face and change the direction of the game completely?Or do they sack it, send it out FTP and leave it to rot?

I say apologize and fix it on the fly or pull it and recook it for another 6 months to a year. If they do the latter, give the existing player base the option to get a refund or freeze their standing in the game now and throw in something like a season 2 pass. Either way they should at the least apologize and BEG for redemption!

Battlefield V is literally 10x the game 2048 is, in every aspect... Map/Detail/Gameplay/Balance/Guns/Everything.This stinks of a Korean F2P BR in Beta Stage.Battlefield 2042 is nothing more than a shameless cash grab, that they haven't offered any refunds like Cyberpunk got is a true reflection on just how much they don't care!

What EA did with 2042 is absolutely disgusting, EA's 2042 Business Plan:Use 2042 as an excuse to cut development on 2 Battlefield gamesBegin with false information of expectations of 2042 (then BF6)Lie to the Battlefield community at every step of development of 2042 with the use of:MIsleading the community with complete BS video trailersComplete sensationalism 2042 inverviews between Battlefield community managers and lead developers from DICE.False information concerning the Beta False information concerning the state of the gameRelease 2042 with so many core features missing that it doesn't resemble a Battlefield title.Refusing refunds once players realised how absolutely buggy and unoptimised the game is.Go radio silent since the 16 Dec except to tell the community that there expectations are BRUTALIt is absolutely criminal what they have done here and they have no excuse, except the truth that they don't give a * about the Battlefield Franchise and I think the damage that they have done is irreversible.

Well I know plenty of you are all in on taking legal action against EA over a 'broken' game so maybe you can all use your legal expertise to understand that legally EA have to support the game for at least 12 months because they pre-sold a 12 month battlepass.Sorry to burst your doom and gloom scenarios but the game will be supported with patches and content for 12 months minimum.

@robb_w7 The Battlefield franchise has enormous equity, so I doubt they they would simply kill it. It's more likely that Microsoft or Sony will pick it up for a song, but this would probably be the end of Battlefield on PC.BF2042 is more of a beta tech demo than a game anyway, and most gamers do not have sufficient hardware to run it properly.

Does EA/DICE cut their losses with Battlefield 2042?

The community will soon decide for them as the game dries up and dies.

I'm sure Steam will get to a point where they will start allowing refunds due to developer abandonment. I believe they have a policy in place where they're has to be communication or something within a certain time frame. I'm at work and can't deep dive for the specifics, but with EA being a bigger name, refunds are easier to get from steam because EA will always have money to take from in Steam's checks.

They have to stick to BF 2042.
Remember, they stopped support for BFV early. So we paid for a game thats not copleted.
If they do it again with BF2042 most players wont buy any Bf game from that company in the future.
It would be almost suicide for EA.

@robb_w7 I believe if they stick with their vision, the game is as dead as a fish from yesterday lying on the dock.

Do they abandon it? I don't think so either, this way they can atleast develop their new platform for the next character driven Battlefield experience, which won't be a Battlefield of Old either.

I really dont think EA will Abandon the game just yet. They are prob assessing the situation and see where they will go from here.
My advise would be: Pack the first season with as much good content as they can. 1 map wont cut it tho. Until whenever that will happen, they need to work on fixing the vehicle physics (IMO), tweaks in general and re-introduce the so called legacy features til then. Not to sound entitled but its the only way the game will have a chance of survival.
