EA reportedly expects Battlefield 6 to bring in 100 million players, a number that even DICE devs don't think is feasible

Laying the groundwork for mass layoffs after a successful launch.

How many games have even hit that number? Only Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite have likely hit those kind of numbers.

Edit: I give them 30 million sold copies maximum

But have you considered, line goes up?
Sadly, there are probably a lot of developers who are burning the candle at both ends to push this out the door, on an unrealistic schedule. And who will then burn the candle in the middle as well when the release is a buggy mess. Only to finally be tossed aside like so much trash when the game fails to realize these unrealistic expectations. And all of that will squarely be the fault of management, who will wipe away crocodile tears with the profits this game will generate. Just not the profit they unrealistically promised investors; so you know, the game was actually a failure. Fuck EA's management, the world would probably be a better place if the C-Level suite and board room got emptied out by some disaster.

Insanity. Hey, let's spend 400+ million on a franchise IP, and then expect player numbers to beat the last 3 combined.
Oh, you didn't hit the target? Guess we gotta close the studio.

Is that before, or after all the deportations
Okay, that was a nice one dude, take my upvote

It's a lot but this is mostly based on free to play numbers. They plan on adding a battle royal mode.

That is almost every third american. lol

This is either an intentional way of announcing layoffs without coming right out and saying that, or EA is insane

afaik linux players can still play older battlefields, like battlefield 4, which is probably superior to 2042

Both. Definitely both.

Yup, I still play it pretty often despite all the cheaters. Battlefield hardline was the last battlefield to allow Linux users.

Sure, they can do that easily.
Just release for free on all platforms including mobile.

Predictions: It will be the biggest failure of the franchise, just before a big game industry crash, and will be remembered as "the E.T. of the mid-2020's". Elon Musk and some other MAGA oligarchs will do their best to consolidate whatever remains of the industry into a few and far-right hands.

Is there a SCP monster for EA or other big game company's marketing teams? Because they're a reality bending entity that creates unrealistic tasks that others are forced to do, despite knowing they won't manage AND will end up as lifeless husks either way
