I have honestly seen this play with BF games enough times to not be in the "angry and betrayed" faction.
Human emotions of satisfaction or dissatisfaction are created from how much something is bellow or above an individuals expectations.
I still got the game early because I knew that I would still be able to have fun with my platoon (I would had waited out for discounts if not for them).
The one thing that is actually displeasing me is how often in this and other games series there is that silence towards the players either by mandate or by choice.
The only one who seemed to really break the silence to say something useful and informative was Florian who seems to be on an extended holiday at least from twitter (I do not blame anyone from being sick of twitter tbh).
Two way communication is very important and both the company needs to understand that it owes the customers information of how their purchase is being handled and the customers to not go out of line when they are not pleased with the situation.
At this point DICE even failed to communicate at what date will their holidays be officially over.
If they had stated the maximum length of their holidays along with the expected patch changes and expected patch date, people would had been a lot more lenient on them.

Two way communication is not important. Opposite. It really is barking up the the wrong tree. IT's a mirage.
There is no 2 way communication when you have ~1 person on one side and millions on the other side all with different questions and desires. It's not possible.
Also if you've been around the block enough times to not join the hate crowd as you say then should you also realize they always support BF games for a year to year and half after launch. Their actions speak louder than their words. And their actions for supporting their game launch have an excellent record and is essentially 100%.

@babypants1
Battlefield V was abandoned in an incomplete state + has outstanding gameplay bugs and thus it broke the 100% record.They have shown that they will drop game support early if they want.
Sure, it is not like we can have the devs have a long chat with every player, but they can at least be part of a constructive discussion.

@babypants1The bombs reload bug was introduced within 1 month within the game and is outstanding.
That K something rifle still has bugged scope and misaligned sights.the type 2A SMG was left at a state that it makes almost all the other SMGs obsolete.
BF3, BF4 and BF1 had longer support and more content. (for example BF1 got 29 maps vs BFV's 19)I hope that BFV proves the exception instead of the new rule in a new BF era of "live services" and "chasing trends"
