EOMM in Battlefield 2042?
I’m not much of a conspiracy/rabbit hole/tin foil hat guy but with all of the talk about SBMM and EOMM (especially) in the recent Call of Duty game I started to wonder if Battlefield could be infecte...

I don't think there's any significant attempts at 'matchmaking' in those terms. 2042 dumps every player into a queue, and then that queue is dumped into an on demand Amazon AWS instance spinning up for the round. It's why (at least back when the game launched) you never kept the same group of players.
Except the EOMM isn't about the matchmaking process itself. It has to do with what happens when you're IN the match. Doing too well? Sorry but we have to dial you back a bit. Not doing well enough? Ok, you'll get a bit of a boost. It's all about keeping players happy and satisfied with their game results even though the gameplay is just manipulated. And happy players may tend to buy more microtransactions according to the big companies.
I can't say that this is definitely happening in 2042 but given that it's happening in Call of Duty (and supposedly Apex) and that the paper was co-written by EA employees I wouldn't put it past them.
There's no question that these big companies are just predatory and seem to care less and less about the games now. My recent gameplay examples I mentioned just raise suspicions.
