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.
