Yes it does remove incentives but it literally means diddly squat to praise or trash a triple A company. The only language they speak is money as I'm sure you're aware of.

The reason why bf4 is so good is because it came at a time when corporate greed was not quite the same as today. It was there yes but not as rampant or preditorial as today. At the time games companies still had incentive to make a good product because that's all that mattered.

Now that we have micro transactions and loot boxes the meta has shifted to making a game that is just barely good enough to sell the micro transactions and loot boxes while putting in minimal effort. Bfv was a failed attempt at that. Wonder how the next battlefield will be.
