If that is truly the policy for EA when launching what is supposed to be their mission critical next Battlefield game to save their franchise, then I have a better cash savings idea for them:
Fire all employees, cancel all office rental agreements, fold the marketing and sales departments.
Just set up an automated phone answering machine with the message: " We surrender ! "

Agreed @Trokey66 ,
Its one single bag of money with a finite amount available. But also the classic dilemma on R&D, if you dont put up the money it takes to make something valuable. You are not going to sell much of it down the line. So always going cheap is a self-fulfilling path to becoming obsolete, as competition has already shown they do better in recent days. So if EA seriously consider this as one of their absolute money makers and part of their core identity, then its not the place to do things half...
The judgement will be severe if they screw this one up.
