Actually I think it's exactly the opposite, the casuals ran early, but BF4 (and 3) have had the best long term support I've seen for a modern FPS by a pretty solid margin. TONS of free added content, maps, patches, yadda/etc. The amount of content available for BF4 is kind of staggering.
IIRC, the launch issues weren't so much Dice as it was the publisher cramming the game into a profitable release window a little before it was ready. For myself, it was fairly playable at launch, and I rarely encountered any trouble much beyond a couple of months whatsoever.
SWB 2015 was a pass for me personally simply because it was quite clear from the betas and material for the game that it was absolutely a casual-oriented game. Not that I think there's anything wrong with that, it just wasn't my idea of fun.
Anyway, who knows how CoD and BF play out this year. I expect minor recession on CoD, and minor growth to mainline BF, but nothing earth-shattering like the H5 spiral.
