Hello, I think it is time for DICE to make the DLCs free to everybody, or partially free that allows people to play the maps without gaining xp… ---

Yes I agree. And then they should make all servers [MIXED] Servers, as that would make it so much easier to find matches on every gamemode. ---

They made Premium free for a period of time late last year during the R2BFV event. If you or anyone else missed it, it’s entirely their fault and plus the game is dirt cheap now, Premium included. EA/DICE aren’t a charity; they’re a business trying to _make_ money, not give it away for free. ---

I myself own premium, alot of the current player base does not. It wouldn’t hurt DICE to make premium free. They made a hello lot of money already. ---

It wouldn’t hurt DICE to make premium free. They made a hello lot of money already. Yes, they definitely have made a lot of money from this game, no one can doubt that. But just because they’ve made a lot of money already doesn’t mean they will make Premium free forever. When it comes to EA/DICE (or frankly any business) a “lot of money” is simply not enough. In fact, nothing is enough. They want more than just “a lot” of cash. They’re looking for neverending profit, and giving away their products for free or “partially free” (Discounted? Trial? Not sure what you mean there) isn’t going to generate them any profit. Prime example of this is their most recent controversy: Refusing (and unsuccessfully might I add) to remove their lootboxes after being accused of violating Belgium’s Gambling laws despite the fact that other Devs like Valve, Ubisoft etc removed them. tl;dr Just because they made a lot of money doesn’t mean they don’t want more. ---

Premium and the individual DLCs have already been given away free for this game. More than once actually (same for BF4 and Hardline too). Since they’ll probably do it again at some point you basically just need to keep an eye on their news channels. ---

Since they’ll probably do it again at some point you basically just need to keep an eye on their news channels. It’s not necessarily about him in particular missing out on them. But when you see the BF1 community it would be good, if they could all at least play all the maps and gamemodes. If that was to happen, DICE could remove all DLC servers and make one mixed playlist for each gamemode with all maps in it/all maps that support that mode. It would be easier to keep the people together. ---

Wait for them to release premium for free or the maps for free again. Keyword: _again_. ---

It should be permanently free. The whole _limited time sale_ thing is such a scammy way of marketing it. I called for each DLC to be free when the next one came out. All the community, including the premium players, would benefit. Doesn’t fit the EA marketing playbook, I suppose, to actually do something that benefits the player base. Who wants good will and a popular populated game when you can squeeze a few more £5 notes out of noobs, eh? ---

DICE/EA doesn’t want to make them free now for fear people might abandon BFV and god forbid go back to BF1. ---

By all means, it should be free forever for all but it **won’t** be because money. And EA loves money. At least, they love it enough to consciously break laws in a certain country to make a quick buck. ---

The only thing I want for free right now is a Colt SAA that isn’t Hollywood-ized and locked behind walls of easter eggs. ---
