For not shutting the idea down.Most of us were tired of modern and wanted something fresh and judging by reception.Its paying off.
Kudos to guys at DICE who convinced the EA
Agreed. Definitely glad they decided to push forward with it
If only DICE could just leave EA for the gutter…
Let’s just hope it lives up to the hype!
Investers should just invest and let artist make art. Dice stood their ground and there are other invesmentpossibities. Investors slow artistic progress down. Ofcourse trenchwar isn’t excited seen from 1st glance. But maybe with new fresh gamemechanic it might be. A investor is out of his league.
Indeed
But I am afraid they do a compromis where you get a product that is just…Mediocre for some.
so who pay for preorder battlefield1? heheheh
Any I the only one who read the title as sarcasm?
No those days are over.
Another thing I am a huge Hitman fan, but I want it on disc, case closed. Vote with your wallet…
Kinda odd, I started a very complimentary thread with Dice/Ea in the tile and they said it wasn’t allowed. Hope they change that policy to content rather than the title.
“DICE continue to persist and pitch the idea, eventually convincing Soderlund to greenlight the idea.”
Thank you DICE for your persistence!
People at DICE simply understood that there is a massive demand for change in shooter genre and that it could be a big money maker as well. Also don’t forget the fact that the Devs themselves needed a change, cuz it lives up and keeps their passion alive to make great games!
You know the adage:
If it works, you’re a hero. If it doesn’t, you’re a bum.
But replace “bum” with “out of a job” for modern context. 
It is sarcasm.
He is saying, “Wow, gee thanks for almost ruining a good game EA”
DICE deserves the thanks, not EA
That, & the whole episodic way it came (is coming?) out really turned me off to it.
On topic though, DICE needs to be their OWN publisher so the morons at EA don’t have any sort of pull in terms of what the game will be or when it comes out.
There’s a reason they were voted worst company in America 2 years in a row.
okay. nice to know. good article, but nothing surprising, really
I’m so glad EA relented and let DICE make what they wanted. EA almost crushed my hopes and dreams on this one(again). Thanks for sticking to your guns DICE.
