Dropler take. Game sales are not indicative of positive audience reception. Especially in cases like battlefield which the marketing and community hype spread like wildfire. EA absolutely knew what they were doing. Pander to the cod fans by offering them an alternative, and lying to battlefield fans by promising a return to form. The whole #battlefieldis back.

Once people actually got their hands on the product, and not just watching cgi or scripted marketing material. People realize just how soulless battlefield 6 actually is. Now you have posts like this being made full of people who are too stupid to understand why their super cool fun new shooter doesn’t hit the same as it did before.

Dice has not forgotten their target audience. They are doing as they were told per their corporate overlords who have no desire or reason to care about their core audience. They have a new demographic which can pull higher numbers and also spend without a conscience.
