What actually is it preventing them from just putting everything on the store at once and leaving it there, indefinitely?
They can completely abandon bf1 after that too, that's what they want isn't it?

EA do not care about what you want, only what they want.

I'm now thinking giving up this game.If that just what they want,old players went away and new players played like 50 hours and quited,ok ,EA made it.😡
- ElliotLH2 years agoHero+@SpellCastinWizrd I believe it's been mentioned in the past (by EA_Atic if memory serves, but I've not gone searching to check) that there are technical limitations which prevent that. That definitely rings a bell with me anyway, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

@ElliotLH I think the alternative could be something like Star Wars Battlefront II, where they gave everything to everyone and then abandoned the game entirely...
I don't think that people still buys battlepacks with money to be honest.
Look at my example, I bought the game exactly on the same week that Fedorov skins were on the exchange rotation, at the time I didn't have the Fedorov unlocked and I found it was my favorite weapon weeks later, so I'm playing for almost two years now and I don't have a single Fedorov skin, this is so sad.- ElliotLH2 years agoHero+
@riiiiiiiik That could work, if everything was unlocked at an account level. I guess the issue there is how long it'd take before that kind of decision was made. Taking BF1943 for example, that game was only withdrawn from sale and had multiplayer turned off in December last year, and it Origin came out in 2009. Then again, I'm just thinking out loud more than anything else and could be way off.

According to Jaqub Ajmal (ex Dice producer) on Twitter, the user Interface's technical limitation is not true.
EA deliberately does not make all skins available in scrap exchange (there are legendary exchange exclusive skins)
the guinness record:

However it is a moot point as even if it is technically possible, at this point EA wouldn't spend the resources on a large-scale change like that would be. The game is no longer supported in that way.
