So it appears that Steam have decided to offer refunds for 2042 owners who have passed the 2 hour playtime cutoff, so now's your chance to recoup your cash from this blackhole.
It's going to be interesting to see EA's reaction to this.
Are Steam trying to make sure they are not involved in a possible lawsuit? Speculation on my part ofc but companies don't usually give up money voluntarily. Regardless it's another nail in the 2042 coffin.
@Johnathan123YT Agreed those playing Solo/Co-op should not be punished. Full XP and full progression.
@Johnathan123YT Look, there might be a progression enabled but separate from ONLINE achievements. In CO-OP players might have all weapons, gadgets, even specialists unlocked to test everything out. Devs might also create a separate progression system in SOLO/CO-OP so players have some incentive to test out SOLO/CO-OP for additional achievements. Also, any bot killed online could be counted as SOLO progression level.
I'm partially in some sense a competitive player, I used to play against/on guys who actually won prizes in ESL tournaments. I even modified the server that used to be nr 1 according to the game tracker in 2012 (BF2). I`m not boasting about anything, I believe there is some experience that might be presented. Not having a "legacy scoreboard" or some level of Infantry-focused maps or areas at the map is just wrong at least in my biased opinion. Beating online bots is good for the young generation or newcomers learning the game mechanics (if there are any mechanics left except for holding a fire button and forward key). I only wish for the game to stay as M for Mature, not Manipulieren. Even BF2 has maps huge and pretty desert-like in expansions, but in new BF most of the maps feel almost like EL-Alamein (hardware limitations perhaps). Maps were also scaled down in order to make more interesting gameplay in previous BFs and even devs mentioned that many times.
Without at least a server browser in multiplayer, players will have to predominantly play on bots at certain hours, eg early in the morning.
Dedicated servers, anything that would resemble solutions from BF4 would instantly fix a tremendous number of the recent game design.
I`m not surprised that people are leaving. I wanted so hard to play, most of my mates played max 3 hours and came to a simple conclusion - wait for updates or another BF that has "paper, stone, scissors" mechanic with classes and maps built in a similar manner as in previous BFs.
God bless Steam
I don’t care about this topic I won't refund the game but Is there any proof or is this only a lucky individual case of refund?
Seems to me that there is only one lucky guy which now used to make news…
If this is not true this is another reason when the community gets mad……

I have 280 hrs but I'm mostly forcing myself to play it because I spent 90 euros on it... Mostly log in, play 1 match, log out...
Would reconsider IF we had SOME news or an update on things and what's to come but these twitter posts and lack of info just scare me. It feels very Anthem-like and I don't want to hold on to this game and eventually get a "well, we were gonna fix it but instead we're just shutting it down"...
If march is the first time we get any actual content and its bad content then it would have truly been a waste of the money...
So many other decent/indie games I can buy with 90 euros :O
You need to force your self to play the game? mmh let’s do some math here:
The game was released on 12.11.2021 in early access and now we have the 11.01.2022 which is around 60days now.
So, you have played 280h divided by 60days what is around 4,667h a day.
If a game is bad and I don’t like I don’t play it and playing it only for the value is kind of hypocritical mate.
Be nice, play fair and see you on the Battlefield
