[2019] Releasing Mercury early smells like a PR stunt


Original Post — Direct link

I can't help it, but to release the new map amongst all the negative reactions towards disabling Frontlines and Domination and the Pit Crew disaster, seems to me like a attempt to swing the opinion back into DICE's favour.

Even if it is not, I still get this impression and this says a lot about the current situation. I'm just super sceptical and critical about every decision from DICE right now. Frustrating, especially since I always really try to be as objective and nuanced as possible.

Or, it's because tomorrow is a national holiday in Sweden... #tinfoilsomeplaceelse

Like I said, u/tiggr, it's not about facts, but more about the impression I got. It even saddens myself, since I'm a big fan and even try to be a voice of reason on reddit and twitter, while almost everyone else is overly critical and negative.

I hear ya - but sometimes a good thing is just that :)

Your attitude is smug yet your game is garbage? 🤔

It's not though. And smug is the last thing I am. Just calling out something that should be positive for what it is.

And you learned about it today? #skepticalface

Making sure it works properly (and early by one day) instead of hoping automatic publishing works 100% is a smart call IMO. It works doesn't it? Take it for what it is, one day early access.

Yeah, you are totally right. And I'm sure, you guys did a great job. I will test it out with my buddies later today.

Hope you enjoy it!

Because they always release stuff on thursday

Yeah, and wanting to make sure it's smooth sailings = one-day early as people are in the office to fix issues. Smart call.

We wouldn’t need to tinfoil if you were transparent

Just count good things in the good column when you see em and we'll get along just fine :).

I know there's lots to do on the transparency front, but this instance was and is just a nice surprise, nothing more (or less).

Hope you enjoy the map!

Or, it could be both. But noooo you wouldn’t act like that, right ? Not Dice. Not EAs Dice. Not them

I'd say that would be giving us too much credit :)

Well, you took it with humor and I respect that a lot. :) Please never forget that people like me, who get a bit vocal, are just overly passionate about the game. Its never personal.

I know only too well, and no personal ills taken ever. It's a game and a service of entertainment after all - not literal life and death.
