@CountSero Let me put it in another perspective.
You have bought and owned a car of a specific model for years and been more than happy about it.
Later on your car gets old and you want a new one.
Why not buy the new model from the same maker that has been advertised.
You go to the car dealer and see the new car. (game trailer)
It looks nice and reminds a lot about the old cars but with updated features.
You decide to buy it.
But then on delivery you get a bicycle because it's popular at the moment.
Should you not have the right to ask why you got something else than what you thought you ordered and paid for?
Or should you just use the bike and hope that they will turn it to the car you wished for in a couples of years?

you didn't order a car and you didn't get a bike. You ordered the next BF game. Since you bought other BF games at launch you're quite aware that the launch isn't the end point and that every BF game is a bit different in theme, in features, in scope, in how rough it is, how buggy, etc. Also they let you try the game for free beforehand in the beta. And for $5 you could try it via EA Play. YOu also were not forced to buy it at launch. You could wait to see and hear about the game on Youtube. You could also buy it from EA and request a refund within ~48 hours if you didn't like it.
You can only blame yourself if you are unsatisfied. You got what you ordered. The next BF game.
Looking just at the logical numbers, removing the emotions of "good or bad game", one needs to have played 25 hours for the $100 game version, and 15 hours for the $60 game version, to have the same ROI (Return in Investment) as a $6 online rented movie that lasts 1.5 hours.
Thus if you only played 2 hours, ROI is extremely poor...yet if you played 100 hours or more, you ROI is extremely high.
So the more you play, the more it cost Dice on server side expenses, and the better your ROI...hmmmm
I find it shocking that Dice/EA has not released some purchase items yet to increase their ROI...

I am not sure why you would compare a movie with a video game. I would do something that would have equal representation, maybe like a Dave and Busters. So an average cost of one hour at dave and busters is about $18. So for a $60 game it would be about 3 hours.
