Holy fuck, what a quote

You know how game studios under EA typically close

DICE survived long enough to become the villain

I don't know if the game really lost a lot of sales due to so many gamers complaining about that content or if that kind of commentary from the developers hurt it further, but you know it didn't help. And the quote looks hilariously bad in hindsight.

I don't care either way, because I wasn't going to get a game from EA regardless, but what audience were they trying to court with a handicapable female face for a WW2 shooter? Girls and women typically don't give a shit about A) shooting games or B) war and media based on wars.

Reality is sexist.

Women and girls gamers only make up about 7% of FPS and 4% of tactical shooting game players and 11% of turn based strategy and 7% of grand strategy players. Compared to, say, 69% of Match-3 and Family Sim games.

I have spent most my life trying to get the women in my life to play video games and show them how great they are. My sister, cousins, probably a dozen girlfriends. I think maybe 1 could be considered a gamer....barely. Most go ooh that looks cool and go back to facebook or their latest tv show. Candy crush, fruit ninja, and angry birds, these are games women love.

Meanwhile you have companies literally making video games for people who are not even a significant minority of their customers. I dont want to play a game as some 130 lb female on the frontline of WW2 its such obvious bullshit pandering. Maybe after this companies will stop this sjw crusade.

Wait, was this over that girl character? I missed this lol.

It's a hilariously bad quote to say to your audience but tbh anyone complaining about characters in a video game probably deserved it.

They should have just added an optional "realism mode" without the women, where you can only carry one gun at a time, one bullet kills you and after each game you lose all your rewards and experience because you're a veteran and nobody cares about you now that you're back home.

There were playable women and black guys in Battlefield 1 and they were well received for the most part

Probably because they weren't the stars of the show compared to the conflict they were in

The first part of what he said is correct. The second part isn't.

I'm out of touch with what neck beards cry about lately but the bottom line is if you don't like what a company is doing with a game, don't buy the game. It's not complicated.

The DLC was good and the loot boxes were cosmetic

They're getting rid of the season pass so they can trickle out content while simultaneously having good PR, they also promised no season pass in Battlefront 2 and we've gotten exactly 1 new map in 9 months and a few random new heroes

They had a road map for Battlefront 2 but of course it was full of empty promises and the developers were forbidden from addressing it with the fanbase on Reddit.

Compare that to something like Rainbow Six Siege where the devs are often the direct source of news we hear things from

They're also launching this game on Origin Access Premier to compete with Xbox Game Pass

So yeah, this game is already being treated as a service before it even comes out lol

I'm not sure you understand what it means for a game to be a live service considering every game since Battlefield 3 has been like that. Rainbow 6 Siege is another example of a live service game.

The difference is that Rainbow Six originally started off with a season pass and moved to the games service model after the initial launch fuckups

They still sell annual passes but all they are is shortcuts/Renown boosts

EA doing this is a bad idea because it directly enhances their "microtransactions all the time" mindset and Battlefront 2 shows they can't be trusted with this type of format

The other Battlefield games have a season pass and therefore we're obligated to at least 4 map packs worth of DLC, they had microtransactions but any other DLC was free. No season pass means there's no obligation to more DLC and they can abandon this game as soon as it's done ala Mass Effect Andromeda
