How to KILL a game with a SIMPLE move.
Alright. Let me make it simple.
The BREAKTHROUGH HARDCORE mode used to be in the FEATURED section.
Obviously, being featured, it was heavily played — servers were always full because all you had to do was click the button and hit PLAY.
Now instead, you have to search, type “hardcore”, scroll through servers, decide which one to play, check the ping, find one with room for you and your friends, and most importantly, make sure it actually has players. Nobody likes playing against bots.
The mode had over 100,000 likes — probably more than any other Portal mode.
Today, they removed it from the Featured section. For the first time, I joined it manually (horrible experience), and of course it’s almost empty. Because obviously, people don’t want to waste time clicking through search menus, and they’re right.
Congrats DICE, great way to kill your own game. Thanks.
I understand the game is just started, I understand they rotate the modes.
What I don’t understand is WHY remove a button — it costs nothing to keep it — especially when you can CLEARLY see it was the MOST LIKED Portal mode with over 100k likes (while others barely reach 10k).
That’s a genuine and stupid mistake from a company that makes billions.
That said, I LOVE Battlefield 6. For me, it’s the best game out there. But these are simple, stupid errors coming from such a big, respected studio.
Keeping one button costs nothing.
