They can capture the full spectrum of deez nuts.
Coming soon, dynamic game pricing. Input personal information and we’ll predict the maximum amount we can extract from your wallet before rigor mortis sets in.
Eh, I might wait until it’s on Game Pass or PS Plus, and if not, I simply won’t play it. Hell, there’s a good chance I won’t play it regardless.

Battlefield has always had a cheating and skill issue. Battlefield 1 got the closest to being okay, I’d get in, have some fun, get heads hotter a few times and drop.

5 though was horrible. I’d have legit cheaters who could shoot me through mountains and people way higher skill than me. It wasn’t a place where I could just go and have some fun.

So yeah, I don’t see me picking up a new one

I remember enjoying 4 the most of the “recent” Battlefields. I didn’t play too many others except for a little 2042 which I can see having similar issues.
I enjoyed 3 and 4. After that it was just a very drawn out crescendo.

The “full spectrum of pricing”, from ludicrous to overpriced to straight up exorbitant.

These guys have no idea how many bloody full price AAA games I have on my backlog and I have said, with considerable gravity, that I guess I’ll get to them later. In a few years maybe. We’ll see.
