People keep falling victim to the same Steam-centric mentality when analyzing the concurrent player records of EA games. The new @GameDeveloperDotCom article relies strictly on the Steam records to make the point that Battlefront 2 is at its "highest-ever" CCU but fails to account that the game came to Steam almost 3 years after its global release, making the Steam launch figure irrelevant to the game's launch performance even on PC alone.

The Star Wars Battlefront II player surge exposes the flaws in EA's business model

Over the last two months Star Wars Battlefront II has seen its highest-ever CCU, a huge achievement for an 8-year old game. Why hasn't EA said anything about it?

I've always said that #Battlefront2 was a good game, the casino-like mechanics made it awful.

Years later, no casino and an accessible price, and the game surprisingly resonates between gamers.

This shows that even good games can die by their monetisation. Check #Helldivers2 and see how it's going.

Y'a de nouveau plein de gens sur Battlefront 2, c'est cool !

Par contre je comprends pas pourquoi plein de gens demandent un 3. Pour quoi faire ?

C'est déjà un jeu service, s'il s'agit d'ajouter des skins ou des armes, c'est large faisable dans le jeu actuel

Oh, I found out: It was #Battlefront "II"
Huh... whatever. Perhaps it is time to try number "I" then... Just to properly replay number "II" after that. 😆

🎮 Now that all the fuzz about an explosion of numbers of players of #StarWars #Battlefront "II" is going on, I wonder: did I even play this? 🤷
I remember like from a ... memory far far away, that I played some Battlefront that came bundled with my brother's #PS4. I guess, that was Battlefront "I" then. But it's so blurry, I think I binged that game in the few days (and nights) I spent him a visit back then. 🤪 #PlayStation #gaming #games #EA #ElectronicArts #LucasArts #ConsoleGaming

Guys, get real, Battlefront 3 is not happening:

- They would have to license #StarWars... again.
- No way the game would release before 2028, AT BEST.
- Star Wars is not *THAT* big anymore
- Some people who made the game are not in EA anymore.

I believe EA can do right making a good game with fair monetisation, but it looks like an uphill battle.
