They are not doing any favors, they are correcting what was already paid for. Thats just business, or should be.
Now I will admit that I do like many aspects of the game and continue playing. I think it has a lot of potential and yes, I can be patient for the corrections and functionality to be coded in. But in my mind, the sense of urgency from EA should be communicated and some good faith made to keep the audience.
You have amnesia. Almost every BF game is buggy at launch and in a rough state going back 20 years. And DICE has supported every BF game, going back 20 years, with ~18 months of bug fixes, improvements and content drops.
Your amnesia seems to happen within weeks becasue you also forget that EA provided a beta for everyone to play, they offered a 10 hr trial for $5 thru EA Play, they have a no questions asked ~48 hour refund policy, and they communicated what was going to be in the game beforehand. Also you forget you weren't forced to buy the game at launch. You forget that within days if not hours, Youtube and reddit are littered with footage and comments on the state of the game.
Must be tough having amnesia set on so quickly. š
@trip1ex You sure do assume a lot, rather than ask questions to understand.
My memory serves me just fine. I have been playing this franchise for the past 20 years, and I recall all the patches and updates to improve the game. What I do not recall is any of them missing major key components at launch, and after having paid full price for a release, not a beta. My opinions are based on my own observations and experiences, not whats on reddit, youtube, or any other medium.
It appears based on your snarky tone that you are just trolling and not adding any real value to the discussion. And if you expect that a company release a final version at full price, but fails to deliver the advertised expectation, the real problem is you. Let me sell you a flashy new year model car that I show you a picture of and when you get it, there are no wheels or seats. Just be patient and dont complain, you didnt HAVE to buy it, right?

They always patch their games and add content. And there is no major component missing in 2042.
I don't know what the explanation could be otherwise.
@trip1ex @You say: You must have amnesia because they always release buggy games. Everyone always complains. They always patch their games and add content. And there is no major component missing in 2042.
Uhm some major components for me: squad management,Voip, team difference look, too few guns, roadmap ,persistent server, server browser, all-chat, ?
This aint bugs, just rushed.... Usually they have a plan for where they are going..
@trip1ex
And there is no major component missing in 2042.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Joystick still dont work. I would say thats a major component missing when playing on PC.BF1 joystick was fixed with the first patch within the first week.
BFV joystick worked fine on release .

The key words being "for me."
With that definition a person can make anything 'missing' in a videogame a "missing major component."
I dont' think that's the definition of a major component. That's just you wanting a feature in the game.
The major components of a BF game are soldiers, guns, gadgets, planes, helis, tanks, jeeps, apcs, boats, maps, flags, and matchmaking. That's all there.
Without those you don't have BF. You have BF still without the stuff you mentioned.
And yes the game is rushed and unfinished. Beta showed the game was unfinished. But that's been true of pretty much every past BF game. That's where people's amnesia comes into play.

I know you like joystick, and I myself was using joystick up to BF4. But these days, the number of players who use a joystick I can count on my fingers sort to speak. It's not a major component.

- @trip1ex so you must have a butt ton of fingers so to speak.
- @WienerBeard <--- what he said. the amount of people complaining about joystick support (i'm not one of them, i play on xbox one) indicate that it is at least midly popular. personally i couldn't care less about joystick support but it appears a lot of people want it

āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā-
There are probably a few more, but I get your point.
Joystick users make up a small part of the player base. Most are probably on console and the majority on PC rarely fly. But it is still a feature that should work.
Btw, hope your doing fine after that corona Christmas.
