I don’t see why anything would change. It kind of feels like they’ve been “phoning it in” all along lol ---

Game development for games like Battlefield V is a collaborative effort between lots of people specialized in different fields, some aspects of this process will be slowed down by people not being able to be in the same room working together but being separated by a bunch of internet connections. I can only see 4 likely outcomes: - Smaller updates - Slower updates - Resources from other places being moved to BFV updates to compensate. - No updates ---

Probably slower, smaller or none. The number of steps Dice Sweden takes in their patching process will likely be severely prohibitive during this time. After all they were already taking full months to release updates with full staff in every department. ---
