Has DICE already cut support for 2042?
With the march update being just a scoreboard and leaving dozens of critical bugs untouched and zero balance changes it gave me the impression that only a small group at dice are still working on 204...

@SpudBug they dropped to minimal manning since December. It was clear based on the quarterly earnings, followed by the earnings call. There will be just enough general stuff addressed before S1 release, then they will just fix and new bugs introduced in each season, and once S4 is dropped, they will stop supporting the game shortly afterwards. That is their MO.
All seasons are ready to go as soon as the summer hits.!! 1 season has been split into 4
They just fill tiers with different colour stuff from previous season. Simple cheap and typical of EA.
No mt money = EA not happy.
It feels like smoke and mirrors at this point, with verbal statements saying they're committed to this game, yet their actions painting a totally different picture. How many months are we into this game's lifecycle and what does DICE have to show for it? A single map coming out in July. Eight months after launch.
That's what I mean by their actions not lining up with their words and feeling like we're being strung along.
- @OskooI_007 We are absolutely being strung along. The question is did they bail or are they really working on some major backend change to coincide with S1?

But maybe we should actually turn it one notch further:
If EA/DICE was very committed to BF2042 (and not having bailed already), why would they then not be very outgoing and vocal to all of us about this like nonstop??? And we would see a steady stream of fixes and new content coming out in very regular and frequent updates.
That we now instead get near absolutely nothing from them and just a poor minor patch coming out with a scoreboard being only meaningful new content months after launch is not a good sign.
I really wonder what those 700 folks are spending their time on in that Stockholm office?
(though recon its around 320 attached to the studio work itself, but still. The output is dismal)
