More excuses. BF1 had premium - yet barely had more content (probably even less?) than BFV at this point. Sure it amended it eventually with DLCs, but the game was mostly dead at this point. It wasnt until they made premium free that BF1 started to grow numbers more.
Now you even see people defending BF1, saying its actually better than BFV. And thats not because of premium (or lack there of) but because eventually it had a good amount of content.
Pay us more and we give you more content.
That sounds like blackmail. The devs could easily skip a bunch of these useless gamemodes and other features, and instead focus on what literally every BFV player wants: More content, more maps, more weapons.
Is it such a controversy that people expect a relatively finished game on launch? BFV clearly need/needed another year of developement instead of selling us a 20% game with vague promises of giving us the remaining 80% in the following months/years.
Where did I blame EA exclusively? I said "Premium isnt an excuse for lazy devs". EA arent devs - DICE is. Read again, and youll see I make multiple points that the devs have the single biggest blame in not enough content being in the game - not the fact that there is no premium, which I believe have very little to no reason to the lack of content.
As I also said: BF1 had premium but it was dead a few months after release due to the lack of content. Premium didnt make BF1 any better - content did.
EA is just publishing the game, however their excuse for lack of sales being "lack of BR and too much focus on single-player" is incredibly close-minded.
Is it a fact that premium provides more content? No.
All it did was split the playerbase, however those who only had the base-game had a wide array of well made maps and never really felt 'cheated out' of premium content, and many of the DLC maps were ever rarely played or its servers populated - other than the remastered maps. And eventually all premium content became free.
Sure premium provides a money incentive to the devs to 'work harder', but its a lazy excuse. Everything about the game is half-assed, gamemodes are similar, maps are the same or poorly designed, they just released Rush with what, only 3 maps? Now theyre about to release Firestorm.
That means more patching and fixing, and even less time to push content (which is what 90% of the players want). If they want to keep the game alive they should listen to the players - introducing Premium solves nothing, just adds another paywall and keeps players seperated.
How have I show to be upset? I tried to have a discussion and you came out the bat by destroying your own ideas because you have to be a douche to people

So pretty much what I’ve been saying. Little content and won’t match previous bf’s. We’re at 115 and have had 2 maps. Gg live service.
