Almost a Week Since the Community-Raised Issues Were Updated

And the community keeps raising issues with no responses from anyone. No surprise why people are losing interest in caring about this game and why the player count is already about 1/8th of what it ...

@mattwells149852 Yearly titles especially never get delayed. Dev teams are told to fix issues post launch. Reason why games don’t get delayed? Share holders and share price are king. Delaying a game reduces confidence among shareholders and share price. People that make the decisions are no longer gamers they are bean counters who only care about keeping shareholders happy every quarterly statement

@coopa300 Well this is the thing as Ubisoft are now discovering and only now are the board carrying out a internal investigation off their problems. Problem we have with the F1 game is it’s only a tiny part off EA. FIFA being their biggest money spinner props up all their failing games.

When Codemasters was its own company the F1 game was their biggest money spinner and only profit making game.

@coopa300Also falling sales EA can blame external issues out of their control. With games being delayed would be their fault and make shareholders nervous about investing
Last (may have been the one before) quarterly conference call. There was one token question about a game. The rest were all from investment banks etc asking EAs plans for future monetisation including in game ads
Years off neglecting games and gamers in favour off quarterly statements is beginning to blowup in their faces

@ScarDuck14 ” Years off neglecting games and gamers in favour off quarterly statements is beginning to blowup in their faces”

This. Yes. I’m finished with this company.. FC25 isn’t any better either. An underwhelming Beta product. Everything is about FUT, pitcoins, microtransactions. Pretty far from the roots of Electronic Arts.

@coopa300Totally agree. But FIFA still brings in the money. I don’t mind it as a game but I only play Career as I refuse out off principle to play FUT.
i said previously that FIFA props up EAs failing games…. What I was ment to say props up their share price
