Yes.

@2tq1uwuofjl7 be careful about questioning any employee, that will get you warned/banned really quickly.
To answer your question, in my opinion, the devs never come on these boards as it is all negative feedback about their work.
The CMs do visit here more frequently but are very selective in what they respond to. If you say they are doing an awesome job and the game is amazing, they will respond and thank you. If you are critical, they get offended very easily. They also ignore the elephants in the room per se. They know there are massive threads about the game that they blatantly ignore.
BLUF: they do not like any criticism, even when constructive and well thought out.
This thread and post will probably get deleted.

The devs don't come here. The CM's sometimes forward issues to the devs, where they're mostly ignored.
There's even a twitter post from a former DICE dev stating his feedback was ignored by his co-workers when he was working at DICE.

- @OskooI_007 DICE has always had big Blizzard, "You think you want Classic WoW, but you don't." energy, thinking they're near perfect and always know best despite a long history showing otherwise. Meanwhile, after years of telling people they didn't want Classic WoW Blizzard is leaning heavily on it to keep people paying the monthly sub while retail flounders.
I'm hoping that 2042 is instilling some humility in the studio overall (not commenting on specific folks here, but the perception of the overall studio attitude which is driven by higher ups), but given that their prior mistakes and failures haven't seemed to bring any humility to the team I'm honestly not sure what else will.
Just imagine an honest, humble, transparent DICE that worked closely with the community to help improve the games and make them amazing. That'd be the day. - @OskooI_007 ouch, this is a terrible look. Hopefully you don't get banned for posting this.
As a developer myself, I can imagine it would suck to read these forums about work you were passionate about.
I just resign myself to the fact that 2042 is for a different audience. As such the developers are building something they’re on board with and proud to be working on. And my issue is with, basically marketing.
Bf2042, as an engine, platform, environment is pretty ok. I mean it’s no destiny. But still pretty good.
it’s just, not what I’m looking for in a game.

Based on how busted air has been since launch and how long problems go unaddressed or unacknowledged, honestly I wonder if most of the team actually plays the game outside of a handful of folks on BF Fridays. Because it sure doesn't feel like the team is playing this game given all the problems that are, again, completely unacknowledged.
