I don’t have any actual evidence. Aside from the fact that the original claims are made by a known liar (EA).
I leave it to the media like Bloomberg, Forbes, CNBC and others to do the fact checking.
Again, I believe these facts to be true.
If you care to elaborate on what EA has lied about especially with Rental Server Program, I would be interested in hearing it.
One slight detail, which doesn’t negate the main argument you make, is that in the phone interview, one of the guys stated, “More than 27 million fans have played our Battlefield games this fiscal year to date,” and that was in the discussion of BFV. It is a bit misleading.
Misleading yes, but still factual.
Agreed on misleading.
EA will not lie but they will bend the truth to their advantage.
EA has already laid blame on BFV failure on everything but what it actually failed at. That is a complete game at launch, not the half game that was given. Skipping over and ignoring questions like “WILL THERE BE RSP” or answering it with “We cant discuss it at this time”
RSP is really just one of the many important reasons BFV has failed.
Get ready, once EA releases the second half of the game, they will call it “FREE DLC” and then see what happens.
Again, it is no longer fiscally viable for EA to pay someone to develop RSP tools. By the time it would get implemented, there won’t be enough players left for EA to make money at it. Already BF4 , BF1 and BFV has similar concurring player counts.
Counts for BF4 and BF1 are so close, suddenly BattlefieldTracker lost access to player counts.
Dice should leave EA asap and start being what they were b4
Mmmm.. wouldn’t it be nice!!
EA already grew their roots deep into dice.. I think its safe to assume DICE is made up of EA “favorites”, I guess you could say..
Yeah and Chevy should leave GM. That’s on the same level as what you are saying. They are the same thing, DICE/EA are the same - they can’t break up. EA can dissolve DICE, that’s about it.
Actually that is incorrect. DICE was bought by EA and DICE could be sold off. Many companies have done that.
To bad DICE doesn’t have the balls to stand up to EA and put out a game with features the community wants like 3rd party rental servers that can be admin controlled.
RESPAWN stood up to EA and put out APEX LEGENDS and look at how that game is doing. I don’'t even like Battle Royale but they already have 25 million players and over 100,000 concurrent players all because RESPAWN put out a game the community wanted and did it for free. Loot crates sold separately.
EA needs to stick to just publishing and let developers do what the do, produce games.
R.I.P. RSP
the proper Bloomberg link, dunno what happened, Axelrod, cheers!
Forums like these no longer matter. Truth is, the developers can’t do whatever they want to make the game better. They can’t respond to fans of a series in a way that would improve the product. Nope, they have to run everything past the guys at EA… the suits that only care what investors think. Being a customer isn’t good enough. What is in your wallet is all that matters any more. On top of that, frankly, from what I’ve seen, too many SJW’s have infiltrated DICE at this point and regardless of talent, they aren’t going to give you what you want any way, even if they were independent of EA. No, it’s over for Battlefield and anything else coming out of DICE studios.
Until people wake up and cause catastrophic failure of several games in a row, we aren’t going to see any tangible changes.
@olT3lo I agree with you, Its sad but the Battlefield era as we have known it over the last 10 years + has come to an end,
it has now evolved into a quick match linear game inspired by the console generation.
New players coming into the game will not know what it was like before so will like it for what it is,
This is exactly the same as what Infinity Ward did to COD in the days when you could have 32 slot servers
I respect all the fans that have advocated for servers since before the release of BF1 (too many to list)
This thread has become obsolete!
I just hope this thread discourages as many players as possible from ever buying any EA product.
True but it’s due to the view of the developers & their sheer greed! When the FREE MARKET was in control of the servers at least one had a selection of servers which gave the different styles of gameplay & players their own choice but now that is gone! They think everyone plays the same & that’s just NOT the case. Examples are knife or pistols only servers that were set up thru settings ect. ect.. Another example is like Operation Locker on a BF4 server one could work with all the kits & that’s why they stayed populated for the most part & the ability to rank up a weapon much faster like LMG’s for example. With no RSP & the lack of servers whom had active admins they now have it so YOU report players & that just takes from your gameplay time. Instead now your stuck watching cinematic spaws & trash like that instead of actual play time. It’s sickening what they have done to the series in respect to some of the spawn in game related play not to mention the RSP. Players play in different styles & even that now has changed to where you’ll see players camp to get the kills in BFV, not all but some. As for buying another EA game, I myself am going back to the old games as they at least offer something more than the BF1 or BFV! The graphics are nice but that’s about it

All of you are right.
I would say this to everyone, do not buy the next Battlefield until the give specific details on rental servers, hosts, and admin controls.
Just don’t buy it.
If ea doesn’t want to give us what we want, then we as a community need to stop giving them what they want which is your money.
Still waiting for details on bfv rental servers
Still waiting on updates to bf1 rental servers.
i dont wait anymore. the game is dead for me and i wont invest any money into a server i cant really control anymore.
they had their chance and so be it. instead of buying any game of them i will for now on just put that money into my
own game-project until the day i can say “i dont need any battlefield game anymore”.
enough is enough. they just lost another whole clan to support the franchise.
WW3 and hell let loose are going to have rental servers.

Well Ali “SOON!” Hassoon is talking again. Everything he said in BF1 and SWBF2 epically failled but here you go. Let the rumors begin. If it was coming from anyone else, I would say I believe but since it is coming from him I have to laugh. When was the last time he said the truth?
