Oh hey, EA is taking an upcoming sequel, dumping a shit ton of money into it in short time, and trying to get it pushed out the doors with unrealistic sales goals?
I’m certain this has happened many other times but the first and only other example I know off the top of my head is Dead Space 3. “The last game barely sold like we wanted it to sell, so this time you’re going to almost double the previous sales target in less time.”
Laying the groundwork for mass layoffs after a successful launch.
If BF6 even gets close to that number I will eat my own socks. Such an unrealistic sales goal.
But have you considered, line goes up?
Sadly, there are probably a lot of developers who are burning the candle at both ends to push this out the door, on an unrealistic schedule. And who will then burn the candle in the middle as well when the release is a buggy mess. Only to finally be tossed aside like so much trash when the game fails to realize these unrealistic expectations. And all of that will squarely be the fault of management, who will wipe away crocodile tears with the profits this game will generate. Just not the profit they unrealistically promised investors; so you know, the game was actually a failure. Fuck EA’s management, the world would probably be a better place if the C-Level suite and board room got emptied out by some disaster.
Concord
Concord 2 - Marathon
Concord 3 - BattlefieldThis is either an intentional way of announcing layoffs without coming right out and saying that, or EA is insane
Both. Definitely both.
Maybe this time they’ll let Linux users play.
afaik linux players can still play older battlefields, like battlefield 4, which is probably superior to 2042

Yup, I still play it pretty often despite all the cheaters. Battlefield hardline was the last battlefield to allow Linux users.
Predictions: It will be the biggest failure of the franchise, just before a big game industry crash, and will be remembered as “the E.T. of the mid-2020’s”. Elon Musk and some other MAGA oligarchs will do their best to consolidate whatever remains of the industry into a few and far-right hands.
That is almost every third american. lol
Is that before, or after all the deportations
Okay, that was a nice one dude, take my upvote
EA is against feeding 65M Latinos to the gators coz losing 28M potential customers is just not acceptable. What a caring company!
Actually, EA is pro sex. Make more customers!
It’s a lot but this is mostly based on free to play numbers. They plan on adding a battle royal mode.
Is there a SCP monster for EA or other big game company’s marketing teams? Because they’re a reality bending entity that creates unrealistic tasks that others are forced to do, despite knowing they won’t manage AND will end up as lifeless husks either way
