| Nuvendil said: I mean, you're getting a game, sure. But they basically have stated that it will not be the singleplayer story drive adventure game people were hoping, a break for this endless barage of sandbox this and sandbox that and multiplayer, multiplayer, multiplayer! Instead, their statement indicates it will be gutted and revamped into yet another nebulously structured sandbox or pseudo sandbox game, probably with multiplayer, so that they can cram in their take on "games as a service" (they've said multiple times this concept is priority) which is basically microtransactions, loot boxes, and DLC palooza. Honestly, with EA's history with so many franchises and the many studio deaths EA has to its name and the reputation they have for constantly overstepping their bounds and meddling with game design, no one is going to give them benefit of the doubt. And no one should. |
You forget that it is also EA who are the one's designing the games. EA is just as much of a game developer as they are a game publisher ... (For all the less than ideal decisions they make, they still make good games and that's what should truly count regardless of how much they interfere)
And you don't know what the final game could be like either so don't assume that the game will be set in just that specific path when plans change all the time as a game is continuously developed ...
