“Is this a threat?” wasasked, which tells you everything you need to know about how well received the new Battlefield will be if live service is a key feature.

Battlefield 2042has beenkilled off after its underwhelming run, with fans criticising the action title for being “bare bones”.
Hopefully, EA will rethink this move, but it seems unlikely. So much so that some fans are joking that AI now runs EA. That’s how much faith the fandom has in the publisher.
“So they [EA] didn’t learn a f**king thing,” commented a Redditor. “Got it.”
Well, this is just awkward.
