I agree to some degree.
But I'd like to understand what part has painted BFV being more money hungry?
I mean they have skipped shit like season passes and lootboxes.
So theres a list of things that bring negativity and low judgement of EA, we have SWBF2, with the microtransactions at launch being seen as excessive, we have DLC roadmaps that didn't pan out (but thats my perception of it, but I think thats also the broad perception as well)
We have ME:A, which was released, and instead of EA working further on DLC and etc, they disbanded the studio and shelved the DLC,
we have the eternal microtransactions of their sport titles, with BF1, i mean, I'm still disappointed in the campaign excluding any Central Powers viewpoints despite promises to do so, and with BFV, we have lots of indications with regards to the game being released, in a state I wouldn't really approve of spending $60 on, and if sales rumors are true, EA's desired audience is of my mind as well. Their roadmap, a lot of it should have been in the game in the first place, a lot of it looks like EA selling a game to make money before its done. Yes, its free, no paid DLC, but EA hasn't particularly made a argument for it to be worth more than $60 entrance fee instead of it as part of the $60 initial expense.
BFV is already on sale at 50% off less than 2 weeks from release. (I brought it at $30, not $60) Which brings me back to GaaS and the need for continued communication with your audience. In my opinion, and I think this characterizes lots of other people, EA does not have the required goodwill or trust to successfully pull off a Games as a Service for the battlefield franchise. (Successful is defined as EA meeting their financial expectations)
Obviously only the corporate bigwigs will be deciding whether or not BFV is matching their expectations but I don't think it is, and lot of it in my opinion comes back to EA's reputation.
Disclosure: I'm a fan of Battlefield, I played 1942, BF2, BFV, BF3, BF1, and BFV. I brought EA stock in August 2018 (not a lot, just play money), as a fan, and as a investor, I want EA to do well, and I'm troubled by the state of the company as it stands to my perception and in relation to what I value (I'm not a fan of gambling, or lootboxes, I'm wary of GaaS in regards to my spending). Quarterly earnings will decide if I'm right to be worried or wrong, but for context, when I share my thoughts and suggestions for EA, its done from this stance. (Why mention this? I dunno, I feel like this context is important to state)
