EA will get screwed over when Activision sees the gap in the market and makes the next COD into a battlefield style game
I'm really confused around the news of devs doubling down on this hearo shooter shtick for the new BF game as well.. There are plenty of hero shooters out there, heck even Apex legends is doing well so why exactly do we need more and a better question is why does it have to have the Battlefield name on it?. The fact that EA/Dice ( i don't know if this is a bottom up decision or vice-versa) are trend chasing rather than setting trends and benchmarks in what large scale , open map shooters should be is beyond me and is frankly sad and shows a lack of creativity. IF the argument is that us the BF OG's are just old and irrelevant as far as the sales figures go, then my counter argument is that trying to appease a newer demographic knowing that the same demographic of players jump from one game to the other within the span of 30 days ( depending on what their favourite influencer is playing) is simply NOT the play to your precious games as a service model, because 6 months later when all the zoomers have buggered off to the new trendy game, the only ones left playing are going to be the sad souls that have owned every game since BF2 or earlier that have nothing better to play.
PS: Activision isn't physically capable to publish a game like Battlefield. IT takes too much effort which goes against their yearly 'reskin' releases..
