The community ruined AAA FPS themselves a long time ago when they bitched and complained about paid DLC, that's why we got battle royals and live services.

The community has no one to blame but themselves. There is a direct correlation between the time AAA FPS were great, solid and DLC was paid, and when AAA FPS went to shit and Battle Royal and Live Services became the industry standard. People don't want to pay for good games anymore no matter how much they convince everyone they do.

It's like everyone who complained about how expensive cable was and how glorious it would be to be able to just pay for what channels we want. Now everyone pays twice as much for all the subscription services that are filled with mostly garbage content. People don't know what they want.

DICE and EA owe nobody anything, especially to people who continue to pre-order games, complain and are never happy and continue to patronize free games.

This community can't get out of it's own fucking way and I don't feel bad them. Portal, the one nice thing we got from Battlefield 2042 and the Community found away on Day 1 to screw that up too by filling the servers with XP Farms, and then they have the audacity to bitch about the fact that Portal has useless XP... lmao

This community forces publishers hands by pre-ordering games, patronizing free games and refusing to pay for additional content.

I've watched basically every AAA FPS franchise for years now go right down the fucking toilet, and it's not a coincidence and we sure as shit aren't victims.
