It’s about time, but DICE’s post was about as non-committal and non-accepting of the issue as a lawyer could produce. Further, it’s only taken DICE 4 months to even acknowledge that there’s a problem. Does anyone think that things are actually going to get better before BF4 reaches end of life??
I didn’t want to read the entire blog post earlier so this being read to me while watching some game play was nice.
It looks like BF4 will reach end of life by the end of this year, if not sooner. DICE will end up doing what EA’s NCAA Football games do every year.
BF5 will have a few of the improvements, patches, and updates that BF4 deserved. But, they will be given to us in the form of a new game that we have to pay for, instead of updates to BF4. 
With how DICE has taken the rubberbanding issue, I’m thinking BF4 was EOL upon release.
