/u/tiggr thanks for all the insight you've provided, it really does mean a lot to the community. I guess my one question, if you can even answer it at all; is the reason the plug has been pulled after what seemed like the beginnings of a turn around (pacific war launch) as simple as the number crunchers determining that it wouldn't be profitable to continue support? What would be some of the factors going into this baffling decision?

I get that you wanna be proud of your work but that launch was a disaster. The wave of negative PR from now EX employees with the infamous "don't like it, don't buy it. Riddled with bugs, a lack of polish that screamed "this game was rushed to market", the drop in EA stocks, going on sale like a month later for a fraction of the price. The terrible deluxe edition., Etc. Etc etc. If anyone there actually believed in bfv as a successful product worthy of being prolonged, they're delusional. I'm ashamed to have purchased boins because I believed that some miracle may happen but the decision makers there made choices that made you and other developers look foolish. You once thanked the live service model for it's freedom and instead we got this mess. The attitude you should have is sorrow; you broke your fans' hearts

That's a shame, I guess we'll be waiting for the next BF - I'd imagine it's already being worked on... Got any codes for BF1 lying around?

Hey, Braddrock, first of all, sorry for how BFV went down, being honest I stopped playing at the 2 week after launch, but still was looking for the progress of the game, this much be such downer for the entire DICE team.

In other news

Is too much if I ask for BF1 and BF4 keys to giveaway in my discord server?

I do streams and things, and normally I pay for the games I gift myself but this pandemic has really made me go broke haha.

Thanks in advance.

Hey u/Braddock512, any code for Origin?

I'm trying to bring in some friend but they does not want to spend money... We are two guys currently but I can't convince anyone, but you know well a team of three guys works better than two!

PS: I'm gonna be honest, after seeing all these posts made me willing to try!

The retreat from the initial release date didn't exactly exude confidence in the product.

How about slashing the price by 50% only days after launch? How about the holier than thou attitude of certain Dice employees? This is the first battlefield game I didn't buy since BF1942, call me crazy, but the signs that this game was going to be an utter failure were well established before arrival.

What happens when the economic analysts tell executives that the game will cost more revenue to maintain than it will bring in? EA doesn't exactly have the greatest track record of doing things out of good will - especially keeping an unpopular IP afloat with cash infusions.

Their entire business model is to milk the cow dry and then grind it into hamburger patties. Of course it would be stupid not to try to be a success post launch, it would be equally as stupid to continue investing in a game that was DOA.

You're giving out BF1 codes? I've never played it because I was still addicted to BF4.

Thanks for the reply. This does sound like what most of us expected: moving from one theater to another in chronological order. We were this close to having USSR in 1941.

Maybe you can answer this: was there a part of developers or a camp that pushed for an authentic representation of WW2? Meaning factions, genders, uniforms, elites etc rather than the mish mash bogaloo we got in the end or was it always an unanimous decision to strive for this version of WW2? (in which case I think it was doomed from the start)

Well, a game of this magnitude takes several years, it's not around launch problems magically occur ya know. All I'm saying is: some projects have rawer starting deals than others, and circumstances are out of your control for these.

The immediate sales after launch screamed desperation. I can't imagine that the wheels toward abandonment weren't already turning once they realized this was going to be a financial sinkhole.

Drag its life out with a content release here and there to save face, cut ties as soon as possible.

Can't? Or won't? The community is OWED answers.

If you’re willing and able to answer, do you have insight on the reasoning behind the TTK changes? From an outsider prospective, it really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

The community deserves an answer, it might not be pretty but we deserve one, I myself got the deluxe edition, bought boins a couple times and tried and tried to convince my friends that it's gonna turn around, but this is unexcusable We need the honest truth because PR speak isn't gonna help make this go away
