"Live service" with respect to Battlefield means managing a game on the back burner with as little effort as possible to keep enough players playing in order for microtransactions to be sold.
That didn't work with BF1/5 I guess, even when they had a decent amount of players playing. Now with 2042 there is basically nobody and even with moderate effort there won't be enough players coming back and even IF they would be, the current installment won't lend itself to selling microstransactions for specialists only a tiny minority wants.
It's safe to say that they realized that the microtransactions (read: monetization after initial sale) part has failed here as well and there is no reason -- from a business standpoint -- to spend more money on that one other than not killing a franchise to be able to sell the next iteration. And we know what EA thinks of killing franchises.
So, all we get now is getting kept getting in the dark and busy with answering questions about parts of the game they KNOW the answer already (as it is obvious when reading their post, because they mentioned it all in there already). Then silence until it is not viable anymore. Then maybe some new 'feedback loop' with the same result.
Think about it
Everything they say can be used against them at this point.
If they under-promise, they will get jeered.
If they over-promise they will get called frauds.
If I was in their place I would also avoid commenting without approval from the biggest cheese in the pyramid.
