Whether they realize it or not, Dice have things they have to do if they're going to salvage anything from this mess.....including their own studio.
They have to figure out how to unalienate their own community. Because, no matter what some pimply MBA says, they're not getting a big audience from anywhere else. They need to win us back. And that will be difficult because, and there's no nice way to put this, 2042 is an omnicluster.
They're not going to get that audience back unless they actually acknowledge they've left. Nor will we come back unless, in some way, Dice address the fact that we paid good money for 2042 and we were ripped off. This is not the game we were promised, nor is it an acceptable alternative.
Dice really need to get a grip, and take responsibility for their actions.
