@ChrisAWJBethelDoes that mean that Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Jaguar should consider me when making cars or in reality do I accept that I can only afford my Seat?
Should Rolex or Cartier consider me when they make watches or should I just accept the fact that my Timex will suffice?
Should Gordan Ramsey look at his restaurant pricing for me or should I just settle for my Friday night Fish and Chips?
Businesses should cater to their customers as best they can but don't have to cater to everyone.
Businesses will ALWAYS consider what customer wants. Without customers there's no businesses. It's a golden market rule.
@tyl0413Assuming that it is not yet planned in, budgets would need to be reallocated, the same with manpower and resourses. This reallocation would mean that something from the planned programme would have to be delayed, reduced in spec and/or even cancelled.
By the God's, do you guys actually live in the Real world?
@ChrisAWJBethelI have refrained from directly throwing insults towards any named individual, mearly expressing my exasperation at the inability for some to grasp basic project management principles.
@ChrisAWJBethel30 years in Betties flying circus, whilst there may not be direct read across (the military is not a business), I know all to well the impact changes can have on an established plan.
Now working for a large Defence Company, I am at least aware of, if not expert in budgetary constraints.

Going to guess that flying the planes and jets is your favorite part of Battlefield?
@ChrisAWJBethel @tyl0413 As I said before we do want Offline Matches as well but at the same time we have also accepted that it won't be at launch. Nothing you say will change that and if you are reasonable about it they can still be added later just like they were for Battlefront 2.
But if all you do is continue to complain about it than they probably wouldn't and I wouldn't blame them for not adding it at that point. I would blame you.
Do I want them to add Offline Matches? YES!
But you also need to give them a reasonable time-frame to do it otherwise we will never get them.
@Trokey66 It's not the same thing. There are no two different versions of 2042 to choose from. There are no two distinctive market groups to sell it to. We're all buying the same game. You payed for it, you decide what you want from it. Sure, devs have control over their vision and some of technicalities but they SHOULD listen to YOU.
You think DICE came with modern setting on their own? Please-they got burnt so badly with BF5 and their ''ideas'' that they immediately backtracked to first safest haven they knew will get them back up. And not coincidentally, that safe haven is what players (consumers) always liked.
Besides, you're not targeted niche for those cars in a first place.

@Trokey66Sorry but with the Server Problems I am seeing now on Battlefield 4 it makes me realize once again that the OP is completely right. Even if its not at launch the Offline Bot Matches NEED to be added as soon as possible so that we can still play the game when the servers are down.
Doesn't matter how good your internet is at all if there are no servers to play on.
Hi @Jesse165,
While the option to go offline and still have fun with BF4 these day would have been ideal, its many years ago that EA cared to make more money out a game they released back in Oct 2013. So though we are many that still plays that game with great joy (myself included) then we also have to admit that time has gone and much about it has become outdated.
If BFV had been with modern weapons in a modern setting, then I would think most of us BF3/BF4 fans would have moved on. But with the mysterious repeated old historical battle titles from EA that BF1 and BFV were, we have been left behind till now...
As some posters above points out, there are no long-term financial incentive for EA to make a game too long lived. Unfortunately.
