This will not effect you in any way whatsoever. Just join an official server if you don’t like community servers. The PC community just wants our propper dedicated servers back that we had with BF1942, 2,3,4.
3rd party servers are what made BF the game it used to be (until BF1 anyways). But I’m afraid the RSP is what we will see in BF5. If we were getting 3rd party server support that would have boosted preorder sales for pc players.
I think 3rd party servers or at worst rental servers with full admin control are a must. The gaming communities will die otherwise as they have started doing with BF1. If there are no rental servers i can see people not buying the game. For many communities server control is key.
Not sure i understand how you are making a correlation between User controlled Servers and offline bots and skirmish mode. Fully removing an FPS staple (user controlled servers) that has been around since the dawn of the FPS genre, and add a completely unrelated feature?
And i should add that there is a very strong argument that most of the FPS games being played today wouldn’t even exist without the support and sometimes direct creation and contribution to the games via the communities that run these servers. Battlefield is a prime example, it wouldn’t even exist today if it weren’t for the community support from the early PC only games. Same goes for Counterstrike and Call of Duty.
