In January, the doctor shared with you the article "This is a sad story, even the plug-in developer has given up Battlefield 2042", telling that there are many problems with the semi-finished product of "Battlefield 2042", which has caused a large number of players to be dissatisfied! Due to the sharp drop in the number of players, even the plug-in developers ran away and stopped updating the game plug-in software.
Another month later, how is Battlefield 2042 doing now? It can only be said that it is very desolate! The Doctor took a look at it, and the game's recent reviews on Steam have been reduced to "bad reviews (15% positive)", and the number of players online at the same time has dropped from 100,000 at its peak to 3,000 or 4,000 today.
Recently, the doctor learned two things related to Battlefield 2042, which can clearly show the current tragic state of the game. I have to say that the game "Battlefield 2042" has painted a lot of ink on the black history of EA and DICE, which I personally think is quite funny, such as: player feedback in some parts of overseas is extremely embarrassing and speechless.
"vandiedakaf", a player from South Africa, reported a problem he had in the community: because there were too few players on the South African server, there was a "single-person domination of the server rules" thing. What does this mean? In other words, the number of players on the South African server cannot support the classic conquest mode or danger zone, and in the Portal mode that supports player custom rules, the owner of the room with the largest number of players is the "boss" of the server.
The evidence stickers shared by vandiedakaf also reveal a lot of information, and in the so-called South African server, there are only four rooms with a smaller ping value* (delay), and one of the rooms has a larger number of people, with 69 people. The owner of this room is equivalent to controlling the right to speak on the server, and players who do not obey the homeowner will be kicked out of the room and lose the right to play the game. Some people say that they can build a room by themselves, but in fact, this does not work, because ordinary players will generally join the room with the largest number of people when playing multiplayer games!
This phenomenon often occurs in old games with a small number of players, and Battlefield 2042 has a similar situation overseas within 3 months of its release, which makes people speechless! However, what is even more frightening than the sharp decline in the number of players is that many players now believe that EA and DICE are fraudulent, and the development team has not fulfilled their promise to launch a semi-finished product to defraud players of money, so they launch a refund petition on the Internet!
The Doctor took a look and the number of players participating in the petition was soaring, now exceeding 100,000! As can be seen in the petition statement, if 50,000 or more petitions are signed, the best class attorneys will be willing to assist in the filing of the lawsuit. It seems that EA and DICE are likely to be sued. The whole thing that happened above reminded the Doctor of Polish Donkey and Cyberpunk 2077, an over-exaggerated publicity that lured consumers into pre-ordering the game, which was a half-finished product full of problems and bugs after its release. Nowadays, more and more so-called AAA masterpieces are clearly still semi-finished products, so they take out to cheat money, and players as consumers should also give them some lessons!
