"What, you guys don't have phones?"

@ragnarok013 Indeed, they still want their FPS ca$hcow. And funds should've been used on the maingame. Looks like the BFV route all over again...
@CarbonCarl Phones are for communications, not gaming. 🤔 - @CarbonCarl Nice blizzard Diablo reference!

Its awful and waste of critical money/time/resources!
(doesnt matter if they outsource this to 3rd party. You still need an army of core EA staff to be on top of it)
So EA, please get the core basics right before going off on all tangents again.
Focus, focus, focus!

I personally can not really be upset about this. It's another game, in another market (mobile) and I have no interest in the mobile game.
I doubt this has any implications on BF6, money or development-wise.
It is probably like the mobile COD-games, they live their own lives.
I think the announcement is meant for shareholders, more than for existing BF-gamers.

@cso7777 it's still money from EA's development budget that could be allocated towards the main Battlefield game. I'd personally rather have EA release a good Battlefield game before wasting money chasing trends like mobile or BR. You are right, that announcement is 100% for the shareholders.

@ragnarok013I get your concern, but most of the money spent on a game is development resources (time).
And it seems like EA has spared no expense with BF6 (with all the studios helping out now)... - Trokey665 years agoSeasoned Ace@ragnarok013 There is every chance that money not spent in one area would been seen as a saving and NOT reallocated elsewhere.
It's what the large defence company I work for would do...... 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 ! "
- Trokey665 years agoSeasoned Ace@CyberDyme To be fair it is most companies. Many development costs are often 'borrowed' from projected sales and if those sales aren't realised, then they stand to make a loss.
