I'm sorry, since when did it become a "brutal expectation" to deliver a functional, properly-specced-out, working game at launch?
I've worked in programming, testing, and software quality assurance for thirty-five years. Right now I'm a QA lead supervising four people working on an application. I know that games are hella complicated, far more so than most business applications, but I'd rather have resigned than sign off on the way that 2042 came out. It is not a "brutal expectation" for long-time Battlefield fans to expect a Battlefield game from something with the name "Battlefield" on it. Other than maybe parts of the Portal mode, this isn't a "love letter to the fans," it's a money grab.
I wish you guys didn't get the raw hatred you're probably getting from some quarters, I get that. That, you don't deserve. But...you DO deserve to hear, loud and clear, just how mad the loyal playerbase that has stuck with the Battlefield series for nigh on twenty years is about Battlefield 2042. You need to hear it, and your bosses at EA need to hear it. If you don't want to deal with "brutal expectations" coming off the holiday break, then either give us a proper and working Battlefield game, release the damned thing after the new year, or get out of the business.

Nonsense.
YOu cant blame EA for releasing buggy games if you keep buying them day one despite being able to play a free beta, do a 10 hr trial for $5, order from EA with its ~48 hr refund policy,...nevermind no one forces you to buy at launch especially in an age where there are hundreds of hours of game footage on youtube in the days after launch as well as tens of thousands of user comments and reviews.
Someone needs to hear something. It's not EA.
