Is that reddit topic about BFV already common knowledge in these forums?

Because Battle Royale games are supposed to be Free to Play. This is what their “audience” is used to and will not pay 60 euros for it when there are free, more polished and popular alternatives..That is their biggest mistake with that mode. It should had been a standalone separate project instead of a “bait” to make BR players who are not BF players buy BF copies.

While that was the case, it would have meant BR would not attract as many new players as hoped. However that should not have impacted numbers for SP + MP, which is the many issue.
