EA Abandoning BF 2042
[ Spoiler ]
These are the Best news in gaming community this year. At last as it seems EA Completely Disowns Battlefield 2042 During Their Investor Call..this company that tottally ruined Battlefie...
Tom Henderson, who got every single information right before release, said that they only had a skeleton crew working on the game. He also leaked that a new BF is already under development, which aligns well with the job posting for an experienced designer for story-based fps on a new Studio (something like that). EA said it is not true, that they have a full dedicated team, and that new manager said that BF2042 is their top priority. They also said the game would be awesome. The game was terrible. There are not enough updates or content.
EA, DICE:
WE KNOW YOU ARE LYING.
Your lies and how you disown BF2042 an annoyance, and embarrassing.

lol, Tom is a somewhat reliable leaker but he in no way got every single piece of information right before release.
A new BF is in development - from a new studio being run by Marcus Lehto, who is in charge of the BF narrative overall, in Seattle. That's not being made by DICE or taking staff who are working on 2042, it's a brand-new team.
EA have not said it's not true, there are official posts on their hiring sites for roles at that company. And that was the DICE GM that said that "all of DICE" is working on 2042.
Don't get me wrong, I don't believe the DICE GM that "all of DICE" is working on 2042 because we're not seeing it, but the narrative entry being built by Lehto's new studio has nothing to do with any of this.
Simple games make money.
Those being - One's that require minimal effort from the player to enjoy themselves.
Battlefield is a niche game that takes a lot of effort to understand and get good at.
Maybe they realise this now and will stop trying to make it a focal point of their earnings calls.
This will only be good for the game.
BF isn't dead, such drama.
