With all due respect to EA executives, you’re a bunch of shit bag douche canoes. I hope you all choke on ghost of Barry Wood’s cock while being mercilessly pounded in the ass by Harambe’s vengeful spirit in some sort of incubus gang bang. God, looking at you to make this happen.

    The article definitely makes it sound like it wasn’t as big of a hit as they initially thought it was.

    Steam concurrents have also dropped significantly following Battlefield 6's big launch, when it hit a huge 747,440 peak. Steam concurrents are now, typically, in the tens of thousands. For example, Battlefield 6 hit 67,000 peak concurrent players on Valve's platform yesterday.

    They launched it with a rootkit which conflicted with Riot's rootkit, then they later implemented micro transaction popups a couple of months later. It's no wonder to actual consumers as to why their player numbers plummeted.

    That makes a lot of sense! I didn’t know they added the micro transaction stuff but that explains why reviews plummeted after a couple months.

    Thanks for the details! (Or for telling me something I missed in the article)

    All I want is for DICE to make another Mirrors Edge similar to the first game. Maybe some of these devs will help make it happen now that they're free
