All of the people complaining about how someone else wants to play the game is just ridiculous. So what if people want to chill with a couple friends and just play against bot instead of against all the sweat lords and try hards that game for hours and hours a day. BF2042 and BF6 were both advertised as Full progression no matter how you play the game. And what did it take, a week before that was taken away for both. And if the the reason it was taken away is the XP bot farms, punish them, not the casual players. I started a server, didn't touch a single slider, made no changes other than Bot backfill and couldn't get anything but XP progression. But now, bot backfill isn't even an option. Seriously, WTF!!?? EA, you're just screwing your player base over, once again. And it's going to kill the player numbers. Many people will stop playing because of this.
yep, and it's not only EA's rep...Steam's reputation is trashed by this as well since they are officially siding with EA on this one and NOT the consumer. Steam is very anti-consumer and could never be a public company, which btw makes them more dangerous than EA...who probably would have given me a refund by now, over this issue.
Downvote on steam
Already did my part on that end, yes.
Steam is ironically the worst platform for digital game refund policy that I know of, and they used to be the best in that regard. I've gotten refunds from Xbox in the past for outstanding circumstances, and Amazon gave me one for this game. Not sure what Playstation's policy is, I haven't gamed on there since 2020.
FWIW I can tell you that Playstation's is far worse than Steam's. If you (for example) pre-order a game, but never even install it you can have trouble refunding at launch. Steam at least gives the timer no-questions asked.
I attempted to get a refund on God of War (2018 or whenever the nordic remake came out) and it crashed within the first 2 minutes of the game repeatedly. They wouldn't honor a refund request.
