Weird times we live in where player counts are at an all time high yet everything is closing and shutting down 😭

They would rather repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot than listen to the fucking customer base they serve. Then they’re also surprised when prioritizing advertiser money further alienates players

They only care about profits and the customer base is completely out of touch with that. The companies do not give a fuck about making good games because good games are not as profitable as the games that milk you for every dime. 

They aren't shooting themselves in the foot, you just think they are because you want them to make good games, but that is not their prerogative.

For every consumer like you, there are 10 that happily buy FIFA ‘26 or Madden or NHL ‘26 at full retail despite those games essentially being reskins/minor updates of the previous years game for this entire decade.

Was that Bioware's target audience?

FIFA changing would be a terrible idea because it already has a huge fanbase who want it to stay the same otherwise they would stop buying it. FIFA is an example of how listening to the fans makes more money, their fans just like it how it is,
