EA Devs Mock Battlefield V Hate, Get Political & Pledge To Fight On...?

So if you not have heard Battlefield V has been released and it's not doing very good, physical sales are down to more than half on Battlefield 1, And the game has significantly discounted by 50% which is not a good sign because it technically launched 2 weeks ago.

But the big reason for it not doing so well is because of Electronic Arts (EA) creating divisions, It all started with the debut trailer of Battlefield V which many didn't understand what Dice was going for as it came up as a goofy steampunk game, It was later confirmed that it was a World War 2 historical shooter game but immediately accusations of the game not being historically accurate was thrown EA's way and it was based on the fact that the debut trailer a big focus that likely was on purpose is on prosthetic armed female British soldier on the front line which never happened, And there was another soldier carrying a katana which was out of the place, But many players saw these design decisions as Dice's way of rewrite history, World War 2 was fought mostly by men, Yes there were female soldiers but as far as I understand there weren't any prosthetic armed female British soldiers on the front lines.

The debut trailer of Battlefield V would be bombed by with dislikes and negative comments with a lot of peoples using hashtags, not my battlefield.

Anyway things really escalated when EA's executive and former boss of dice Patrick Soderlund gave an interview at E3 2018 and pretty much took a stance against those who were complaining about the game, Although the issue with his remarks that he made it out to be specifically about women in Battlefield V which I think never been a problem as some women certainly did serve, But the way Dice included them in the game is something many took issue with, Some seeing it as disrespectful, But Patrick Soduland made things much worse when he says the following: "on the women in Battlefield this is something that the development team pushed. Battlefield V is a lot about the unseen, The untold, The unplayed... The common perception is that there was no woman in world war 2, There were a ton of woman who fought in World War 2 and partook in the war. And I felt like in today's world I have a 13 years old daughter that when the trailer came out and she saw all the flak, And she asked me " Daddy, Why is this happening?" and she plays fortnight and says " I can be a girl in fortnite, Why people are so upset about this?" she looked at me and she couldn't understand it. And I'm like ok, As a parent, How the hell am I going to respond to this ? and I just said"you know what, Your right, This is not ok" 
these are people who are uneducated - they don't understand that this is a plausible scenario And listen: This is a game. and today gaming is gender-reversed, Like it hasn't been before, There are a lot of female people who want to play, and male players who want to play as a badass woman, And we don't take any flak, We stand up for the cause, Because I think those people who don't understand it, well you have two choices: either accept it or don't but the game, I'm fine with either or, It's just not ok."

So yeah calling your player uneducated and giving them an ultimatum is bad for business which in my opinion Patrick is twisting players compliments into an issue over women being in the game, also making a comparison between fortnight and a World War 2 historical game seems a bit foolish.

However, no matter what your opinions on those comments or this whole issue, in general, it created divisions and for a while, angry gamers have been using the hashtag not my battlefield and other ones to state their displeasure with battlefield V.

Forbess Eric Kane pointed out " Much of the marketing has been geared toward attracting female players, apparently with a female soldier on the cover and an emphasis on female characters on single-player vignettes, I'm perfectly fine with the woman in the game like this, And have no bone to pick up with that decision, But it is an incredibly an odd marketing choice given that this game A) predominantly played by young men and boys and B) is a historical shooter about a war predominantly fought by young men and boys.
I suggest marketing the game as a traditional WWII entry (similar to Battlefield 1) would have been far more effective."

That is exactly right, it seems that EA really just shot themselves in their foot and in fall 2018 there were many other games releasing which would you think an entertainment company will be trying to persuade their core audience and consumers to buy their game.

But in all honesty, EA gave a lot of reasons to pick up games like black ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 as their cane went on to add "More than anything, It seems like EA and Dice are simply very out-of-touch with their target demographic. By all means, include woman in the game, but don't try to earn brownies points by making it seem like you are championing some social cause. EA wants to make money, Not to change the world.
I just want a good WW2 shooter."

Bethesda Lies, Gave Influencers Fallout 76 Canvas Bags For Free In September

The biggest issue right now that I'm having with Bethesda is the lies, And the past was a fun joke is Todd Howard often sais some things about this game that didn't come true.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, A YouTuber made a great compilation of some Todd's little sweet lies, But this whole mess with Fallout 76 is a lot different, And I would say it's a lot different because the product release was just abysmal, It was bad, Which is really strange because Bethesda in the past as a publisher really empathized pushing out quality games, Last year they bragged about being the savior of single-player games, It even got rewarded by the Metacritic top publisher in 2017 based on the fact that they had the highest review scores for all the games combined they were released last year by them.

Even in the past, they canceled games that supposedly were not up to their quality standards, Pete Hines said in 2014 about their decision to cancel prey 2 which at the time was being developed by the human head studio where a game we believed in we never felt like it got where it needed to be, We never saw a path to success if we finished it, It wasn't up to our quality standards and we decided to cancel it, It's no longer under development, It's a franchise that we still believe we can do something with, We just need what something is, And eventually we will see that franchise rebooted with our canes underrated take on it last year.

 But this is what confuses me, In the past, Bethesda cared about quality, But what the hell happened here in 2018 with Fallout 76?

We all know that they are rushing to release but was it that they needed to get Fallout 76 out this year because they had no other big releases in 2018? Or do they just think they can release a half-assed game and fix it later like so many other developers have done? 

They are so many questions on how this game was allowed to release in its current state, but just outside of the game it seems like the Bethesda has done a lot of rushing, The big controversy that is raging on right now is that the power armor edition of Fallout 76 which is also the collector's edition that did not come out with everything that was promised, Specifically Bethesda chose to change the west tech duffel bag from canvas to nylon without notifying anyone, then tried to make excuses that it was too expensive and they soon said that the original reason that an employee who was necessarily connected to the company was inaccurate, and the real reason that there was a shortage in material although that doesn't make too much sense being that this isn't some extremely rare material and if you think that 200$ special edition  would be planned way ahead of time but like everything with Fallout 76 it was probably rushed and it was for money which point being Bethesda chose to make a larger profit over satisfying their most loyal customers, I mean if you think that this was not for money then they would have upgraded the bag not downgraded it, But even now Bthesda has declared the Special Edition one of their best which is a strange way to respond to anger over not giving player what they promised.

Now the issue with Bethesda not delivering what they promised is that they never told about the change in material to cheap nylon, They also never made an effort to change the Power Armour advertisement which is misleading, Something that many are asking and wanting the government agencies like the US Federal Trade Commission to investigate as this is blatant false advertising something that legally Bethesda can get in trouble for.

Besides just a potential FTC investigation law firms are already reaching out and trying to put a class-action lawsuit which I have to believe it's a case and based on Bethesda's refund policy on their store, Nobody can get a refund on Fallout 76 Power Armour Edition because it is a limited edition, and right now it a problem as Bethesda misled a bunch of customers, Although Bethesda is offering a crappy 500 atoms which are their make-believe currency for Fallout 76 to those affected.

The interesting thing about this is that this may be a legal trickery, So if you accept this offer under the law then you have been compensated and can't do legal action or fight for a refund later, Just be very careful because if you are not satisfied with this Nylon Power Armour Edition I believe Bethesda is obligated to give on what they originally promised unless you take 5 dollars in-game currency which in my opinion is quite pathetic.

But today there has been a very interesting update which continues to show Bethesda in a negative light, It's been outdated by a YouTuber HeelvsBabyFace that many influencers received free canvas bags of the green brayer event that happened back in September, If you recall this is where a bunch of YouTuber and gaming websites got to go and play Fallout 76 for the first time, And part of the trip of being flown to West-Virginia Bethesda Gave these content creators some free merchandise.

Now obviously none of these creators deserve any hate at all, They were just invited to an event and they had no way of knowing how badly Bethesda Would Bomb with Fallout 76, But the most telling part of these canvas bags is that Bethesda But and effort to get these influencers a high-quality bag when they could not do for their most loyal fans who coughed up to 200$ and that is extremely concerning and if I spent 200$ on The Power Armor Edition then all of this news would feel like a spit to my face from Bethesda, Still up to this point there has been no real apology from Bethesda, And what bothers me is that this canvas bag debacle is that I think there wasn't a shortage in materials but just mismanagement, and that's the best way to describe the whole Fallout 76 mess.
