Forums - Gaming Discussion - EA/DICE mocks critics of BFV at launch party

Wow, EA/DICE continue to be white knights. All because gamers did what they told them to and "not buy the game if they didn't like it" (which is why it went on sale less than a week after releasing), you know, the same people they called uneducated and went "my daughter" for wanting a historically accurate WW2 game (because insulting your own fan base is a great way to market your game). Rather than holding this L with some dignity, they go out of their way to mock and put words in BFV detractors' mouths at a launch party event (most of the complaints were NOT "fuck wymins/feminazis"), calling them bigots of every size, shape and color. 

Because it worked so well for GhostBusters, right, right?

Add to this censoring white man (which I covered earlier) and Nazi in a game about fighting Nazis and it's truly baffling that they STILL can't figure out why their game sold like shit, chalking it up to "being for inclusivity". Yup, totes no (v)agenda here.

Funny to see a company whose shares lost almost 50% of their value, and whose game apparently sold 50% less than the previous one, still make fun of their fanbase.

Let's see if they keep doing it if their studio ends up firing 50% of the developers (I hope it won't happen, but they at least need to change their approach for the next one).



DICE is located in Sweden if i remember correctly so i'm not surprised about this. Sweden is disappearing in their own *** it seems .



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

This is EA, of course devs will lose their jobs.

And for once, some of them might actually deserve it like this one.

I actually think its kinda funny. EA is free to do whatever they want I guess.

In the end the games matter most and they will suffer if their games don't appeal to people. Seems like this game isn't reviewing particularly great though. Not sure what the sales will reflect in the end.

Its also possible the sales will see a decline because fatigue, maybe they didn't enjoy BF1, etc.

Kinda pathetic quite frankly. Couldn't be happier that their revisionist filth is failing

Well, that's just childish at this point.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

DICE, and EA by extension, desperately need some new PR consultants. For people who claim to combat marginalization, they seem awfully keen on marginalizing their own customer base. The age old technique of sweeping legitimate complaints and criticism behind troll comments and vitriolic stupidity stopped working a long time ago, their chance to rise above and focus on presenting and selling an actual, desirable entertainment product seems to have passed.

It's a shame, I've really enjoyed the BF series up until BF1, I spent countless hours at LAN meetings playing BF2, and BF 3 and 4 were among only a handful of titles I ever bothered playing online.

I even enjoyed Battlefield 1. Until I didn't.
The singleplayer was decent enough though. *stares at black ops 3*
