I’m sure they’re collecting data. They’re likely looking at what percentage of players are starting scenarios and how many players play the scenario through to completion. They know how many people have the game as a whole, they also likely know how many active players they have. They’re probably looking at whether or not scenarios bring some players back into the active category. I would also be willing to bet that most people play with online capabilities on because they access the gallery and other functionality. Even so, it’s possible the game or origin stores data and transmits it once a player goes back online. And yeah, time limited scenarios are absolutely a way to trigger FOMO and drive people to play the game.
