Oh I know. “Don’t buy it” is what they said. ---

Poor multimillion dollar company, that didn’t take basic communication class. So sad ---

Its Christmas time, people have lives, I usually play everyday, but some of us have to work and do not live with mom and dad with no job. Been playing since Closed Alpha so the game did not just come out for me, been playing for months. Trying to get work stuff done, cooking, shopping, traveling, hiking and dating. When they come out with the other game modes like Battle Royale and Combined Arms more people will come back AFTER the holidays. This happens every release and do not forget, people do like to wait till all the bugs are out of the system before playing. ---

The constant white knighting from the company certainly did not help that’s for sure. ---

Nah, people play and enjoy six siege and insurgency and are smart enough to not get baited by a multimillion dollar troll company. ---

When they release the quarterly earnings report, BFV will officially called a disaster. The steep discounting already proves that fact, but the cold, hard sales numbers will back it up. The only positive that will come out of this is maybe they will get on BC3 now and not release a “true” BF for a few years. ---

It’s the same plan that is not working for the NFL. Its a communication problem.

If it was a communication problem they would be apologizing out of their butts and changing their messaging. They are not. ---

> [@alienstout](#): > > It was a plan that just did not work. If it was a communication problem they would be apologizing out of their butts and changing their messaging. They are not. It didn’t work because it is a communication problem. Damage was done and people started put one and one together, noticing EA is a troll that doesn’t care about customers. They won’t apologize, which underlines their lack of communication. ---

They weren’t “trolling”, they used that specific messaging as a marketing tactic - the goal to sell games to a previously untapped market. ---

Releasing after RDR2 and BO4 was already a big mistake. Not so bad if the game would have been good though. Unfortunately it is not good … no wonder people don’t buy this alpha release. ---

apart from the communication problems, the game feels buggy and unfinished. as i’m enjoying the game, i still wouldn’t recommend my friend buying the game because it will easily frustrate new players for multiple reasons 1. visibility. cannot identify player module 2. bugs on everything. climbing, takes ages to quit a game, etc 3. network issue 4. vehicle balance. the main purpose of an aa is to anti infantry and camping on top of a hill. the splash damage from a tank almost do not exist… you either hit the enemy directly and kill him or do not do any damage ---

> [@alienstout](#): > > The constant white knighting from the company certainly did not help that’s for sure. White knighting, years of trolling and not apologizing is the problem.
