@ArchAngeL-PCX And look at it today. They listened to the community and they've fixed all that and they even added new classes, hm, was it last year? And the game still has enough population to get games fairly fast in multiplayer.
The problem with game development is that they don't get active input from the community. They go with personal experiences and think it's a great idea when it's not. That's also the beauty of early access games but there are bad apples even in that area obviously and they still make mediocre games despite input - some even trying to abuse the system.
What I'm trying to say is that game development isn't that easy. They have their ideas plus their testing equipment and do a generalizing performance optimization after that and then they got BF2042.
I do like BF2042 but it need tweaks in term of balancing (pretty much actually) and the performance is under all critique. People say performance is fine but I think those people are not high-end PC players realizing their 3090 isn't performing to its fullest and still land on 80-120 FPS _despite_ quality options.

I can also mention I knew a couple of guys at DICE (Stockholm) and they've resigned and started up their own company. I think that says enough what kind of working environment they've had to put up with.
So I also get the notorious EA deadline. That also puts some sticks into the wheel o_O
