@Adamonic I am about done with it after Season 2!
@CantGetRight I might not make it that far. I literally have zero interest to play. I am barely getting the weeklies done, normally just enough to complete the bonus mission even if a few are not completed.
Looking back at the arc of this game, this all came down to profit margins. Dev time = less profits. So if you can get a title out the door as fast as possible with the shortest amount of dev time, you can cut the losses considerably. Then after it launches, you put most of that dev crew on another title and only leave the smallest amount of devs as humanly possible to maintain the title for the remainder of the lifecycle. That is exactly what we are seeing in BF2042. Hell, with the radio silence, I would not be surprised if the CMs were back clearing the Jira backlog.
