Well game been out for 2 months now its on sale at 50% reduction. Does that mean the game is doing badly and how do you feel if you paid full price such a short time ago? Also does this mean its not worth buying premium right now because the price will go down very quickly after dlc release. premium £ 31.99 right now on amazon.
Overall base player base has dropped significantly over the past weeks … this smacks of desperation on part of EA

nice. leaves a little savings for purchasing the cheat to go along with it ![]()
50% after 2 months lol. And the game still broken for most.
Right now
bf4 player 15k
bf1 40k
:o
These incompetents don’t know how to fix this damn directx crash,of course people leave.
it got worse after the update. I cant even play more than 2 minutes and it just crashes
This doesn’t look good, not at all, if this is going to continue this way then EA/DICE might decide not to release their future FPS games like this one on PC but just focus on console instead, if that happens we that truly love to play on PC are screwed..
Guys, when the game is too expensive you ¯_(ツ)_/¯ about it and when they make a sale because it’s CHIRSTMAS FOR GOD’S SAKE you complain again… Yes, the player population have dropped, like in any other game, but it is not bad. Acording to BF1Stats.com, the avarage peak players are around 55k and it stayed so for some time… This game won’t die as fast as how Battlefront did. Last year the game was on sale too but that game had a peak of 10k players and now, after a year, the peak stays at 7-8k…
Th only reason battlefront has player base of 7-8k right now is because its free on access. Also when its free like this ppl don’t mind cheating because they don’t have anything to lose. Hope BF1 doesn’t go the same way. Don’t get me wrong I love the game but a few of EA/Dice decisions they made for the PC , like joypad support using auto assist snap too ,the lack of a decent anti cheat engine are questionable and not mentioning the rent a server (sorry didn’t mean to mention that)…
Could be a business decision as they dig further into Call of Duty’s lack of sales and draw more new players into the series.
As for player counts, it’s one of the biggest vacation times of the year; students away from their connections and computers at college, relatives travelling to visit their families, etc. This happens every year and it’s always followed by the ‘Christmas noobs’ right after as they get their shiny new copies of the game.
Listen they shut out their PC players by not offering rented server tools and admin, I hope they lose money.
2 month old game, discount before xmas, get sales figures up so its in charts so its no.1 when ppl have xmas money to spend.
This is a positive thing, player numbers will increase, more live games and just think of all the noobs to farm ![]()
Early adopters always pay more, think that price is about right, shame quality of product was not matching price originally charged but its getting there slowly.
Direct channels cant lose, will still be making a profit and I would suspect its more that what they sold at release to wholesalers.
It’s like an airline ticket. The guy sitting next to my may have paid $50.00 more than me or $50.00 less.
I paid too much. But I got a skin for my knife.. woo hoo!
I don’t care at all, battlefront is now free on EA access, BF1 will follow in time
More meat for the grinder. I don’t care what EA charges.
Think of the Christmas noobs! o:)
Nothing new. It happened with BF3 and BF4 as well, and they both were extremely successful with a healthy playerbase well into the game’s life.
revolution is not evolution
So do you think as the game gets patched more players will move from BF4 to BF1 ? especially at the lower price point.
@OP i dont feel anything special, because i feel scammed since day 3 after i bought this App , i expect everything
