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

Just remember, it was your failure and our customers mean gamers who caused it, not us and our "projections"

Maybe this time they’ll let Linux users play.

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

[blametheantifa@lemmy.world]

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
