I would have had no problems with historical inaccuracies, for instance a wrong weapon here or there, tales that never really happened and so forth, but taking a fairly big event of the war and completely removing the heroes that fought and suffered and replacing them with a teenage supergirl is just too much for me. That is what they did with the warstory Nordlys

Imagine EA/Dice was a restaurant chain, and imagine Battlefield is their main go to item, a big juicy burger. Now if you the customer base, really like burgers, and theirs are by far the best, if they decided to change the type of meat itself, or the recipe, and those burgers tasted horrible going forward, should people not complain? If they didn't complain, you would have to assume that many would stop coming to that restaurant chain, and that franchise would then wonder what happened, and would have to go out of their way to find out it was the new meat in their burgers that people didn't like, and they just never said anything.

If you went to that restaurant with someone like one my friends in particular, or my old man, they would tell you to just shut up and eat it, it's just a burger. Should people just eat anything regardless of how it tastes to them? It's one thing if your starving and have nothing to eat and no other options, but when you have plenty, who's going to eat something gross when they could have something else that tastes better from another franchise, even if it's not the very best?

I don't think the way the fans handled BFV was wrong or in poor taste for the most part. The reason things got out of hand is because you have a tonne of customers telling the restaurant chain that their new version of the go to burger sucked and they were told to either shut up and eat it or go elsewhere, and they went elsewhere. As a business they have a choice, just like the customers do. Either they keep the new way of doing things while losing customers but hopefully gaining some new ones in the meantime, go back to the old way of doing things sooner than later and regain most of those customers, or decide to sell both and offer more choice overall.

The idea that people would be against including women or minorities for “realism” sake is stupid. It’s an action shooter where you do all sorts of unrealistic shit. Does it really matter if you do it as a man or a woman? A white dude or a black dude?

Mock away, DICE.

Get off the high horse.  There has been a ton of alternate takes on WW2.  PS had an exclusive franchise based on it, Resistance.  Did people go nuts about that?  Nope.  You know why? Because they said it was an alternate history.  The problem here rests solely on EA and DICE for empty virtue signalling, and being like most virtue signalers, read: not being able to take any type of alternate view or criticism. 

A woman on the front lines wasn't even the biggest reason for the backlash.  For one, the tone seemed completely off for a BF game, which the cricket bat wielding, disabled woman being part of that.  You'll notice following trailers take a much more serious/realistic tone.  And two, which is the largest part of this, EA/DICE handled the criticism incredibly poorly.  They could have simply said that they were pursuing an alternate history for WWII and most people would have been fine with it.  Some would still not like the direction of the franchise and choose not to purchase the game, but for the most part the backlash would have died down.  Nope, instead they couldn't handle the criticism, so called their fans uneducated (this would actually describe EA/DICE if this is the way they think history went) and said not to buy it if they don't like it.  Well, those "uneducated" masses did just that.

These types of posts always fascinate me.  It's as if those who side with SJWs can't handle that they are not the majority.  So, when the backlash leading up to the release of a product has to do with SJW messages contained within said product, or being pushed by the creator of the product, and it fails, people have to try to convince themselves its failure had nothing to do with those messages.  BO4 is missing a major feature, the single-player campaign, and while its sales are down from the past entry, its nowhere near the decline that BF saw.  There's a reason for that.

To be fair, they're mocking all the negative comments directed towards their censoring of white man in the game like I talked about before in another thread.

Wasn’t the censorship thing in the beta due to the algorithm the system was using? Sure, it censored stuff like Nazi and white man, but it also censored stuff like DLC and Titanfall. It’s clearly just a borked profanity system.

It has NOTHING to do with including women or minorities in the game, but yeah, please don't stop acting like petulant children, it'll steer even more people away from ever buying EA games again. Get woke, go broke. 

And no, it wasn't due to broken logarithm. The fact that DLC is censored while free DLC isn't is living proof, censoring software doesn't work like that. 

Uh, breh, you’re clearly not paying attention. Much like Gamergate was actually about ethics in game journalism, this is about historical accuracy! When you watch WW2 In Color on the History Channel you’ll see all the same stuff you see in Battlefield games. Magic health regeneration, infinite ammo, toppling buildings, hundreds of respawns. But now you can do all of that as a woman! Inaccurate DICE, unrealistic!

One of my great great uncles died in WW2. I tried to replicate his death in Battlefield but it didn’t work out. I was able to take a chopper, fly it above an enemy chopper, then jump out of my chopper. Just like he did, I then pulled out some C4 while freefalling and I threw it on the enemies chopper and detonated it. I was right by the blast but was able to regen health. I then caught up to my falling chopper and got back in it. Just like my ancestor though, I jumped back in too late and couldn’t get enough lift on my chopper and it blew up on impact. However while my great uncle died and stayed dead forever, I was revived by a medic with a magic defibrillator! I walked away in game scratch free. #realism

Much like with Gamergate, these fools try to hide their issues with women behind other issues. Here it’s “historical accuracy” in a franchise that has never ever been historically accurate. Their problem is there are women and minorities, two thirds of the GOP Trifecta of Evil, the third of course being immigrants.

That’s pretty insulting actually. But you can expect anything with EA.

Very rarely have I been flabbergasted by a comment  wow is all I can say
