Actually, today is a good example.
EA is saying its servers are all ok, meanwhile there is a huge spike in people unable to connect to BF 2042 when looking at downdetector.com . So there is a huge disconnect between what EA sees and what the users are experiencing. No wonder this instability never gets fixed since they think everything is fine.
Unless they know there is a problem and they are not acknowledging it. I can't believe that would the case though.
Meanwhile at EA.....
Hi Guys,
I think that corporations in general rarely admit to anything being their fault. It is not something specific to EA.
That being said, EA a few years back was voted worst corporation in America and lost a lot of goodwill from gamers. Eventually their inability to address ongoing connectivity issues will hurt their bottom line when players desert them.
It is kind of sad though. You could have an amazing game turn into a terrible experience because your programmers aren't able to create a stable environment to connect to...
Update: fixed on my side. Let's see how stable it is.
The number of problems reported on downdetector.com is going down as well.
So, it should be on the mend.
See you online.
