[@littlekmc1493]

We've hit the common denominator for gamers (not to insult them, but games are catered to the most casual of gamers possible) and those people were gonna be the biggest buying force anyway. They are easily swayed by the tactics of the market which is no longer about big gameplay changes and stories anymore. (BG3 did but look at how special of a case that had to be, had to tick EVERY SINGLE BOX to get its recognition. If the graphics would have held back, it would have had not the same success.) Pretty pictures, a decent loop, and monetization are all acceptable with them. i haven't shelled out the money for a triple A title in a long time, but still have all their old titles from the SAME COMPANIES in my library. Why is that? Modern gaming doesn't actually care about the answers to those kinda questions. There will be a day where complaining about this stuff will get you called a boomer!🤣🤣🤣Maybe, their fad for it passes away and gamers with standards become the main buying force again. Or gamers will get standards all of a sudden and somehow come together to demand more. I remember when 5 years for a video game used to give you a seriously good experience!!! Or your game was shitted on by the masses! Gamers wanted some engaging shit to have them playing! Casual gamers should get to have all the fun they want, I love more people experienced gaming now! But they want every game series to be simpler and based down to cater to them instead of learning how to play the damn thing!

Xbox 360 and PS3. You left out that part. Im assuming for clicks. Venice unleashed has had custom servers for bf3 and bc2, nearly nobody uses them. BF4 on ps4, xbone and pc has the most populated servers of any battlefield game. I cant see them shutting them down soon. Im sorry but this video was a miss.

[@Firebreath56]

I disagree. Yes, it is only Xbox 360 and PS3. For now. That's his point. That this is an established pattern, and that eventually they will do the same for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. As for Venice Unleashed, yes, very few people do use those servers, and that's genuinely sad. However, I think that's partly due to the difficulty in actually setting up and modifying those servers. In my opinion, it's way too difficult for your average player to customize and host a server on it, and if they simplified it, I think that would go a long way. As for your final point, yes, Battlefield 4 is the most populated of any Battlefield game. That is exactly why they may shut it down soon. To encourage people to move on to the newest Battlefield game. However, you are correct in assuming that that decision could backfire dramatically, and so maybe they would refrain from doing that any time in the near future.

Also, im waiting for all these indie games that give a 1 to 1 to a battlefield experience he keep saying in the video... Cause his game is actually terrible and has no Anti Cheat.

Oh yeah 100%. I figured this out years ago. I even went to school so I could make my own games but ran into difficulties and had to get a normal job but working on several new businesses to fund projects that I have always wanted to do like creating my own studio with the sole of purpose of restoring gaming to how it used to be. I'm the kind of person that would buy an island outside the US, put a massive server farm on it and connect it to the internet through proxies, hire a large private military to protect it and continue to host services for people that PAID for them. Regardless of chest pounding I saw this coming nearly 2 decades ago and decided to try to do something about it but failed. I wasn't motivated too much because the modding community was and still is really good and singlehandedly saved games like Cyberpunk 2077 just like I predicted it would. The next step now will be to get the word out on gaming communities like this and many others to the masses. So many independent studios are out now doing Gods work making great games that aren't aggressive money machines exploiting children. Case in point with the space game genre there have been numerous developments with games like Starfield, Elite Dangerous, and Star Citizen. Each are still in various stages of on going development, but Starfield is the worst when it comes to game monopoly with aggressive monetization strategies. So ONE single guy goes out and makes a game called Spacebourne 2 and blows all the competition out of the water but not many people know about it. I have downloaded your game too Bluedrake and loved it. Im hoping people can make some more arcade like servers to help recreate games like BF2,BF3, and BF4 and give people those experiences. What needs to be done as well though, is an aggressive marketing campaign and attorneys to protect you from companies like EA who will eventually come after you with false copywrite infringement lawsuits. Not that they would win in court but use it as lawfare to keep funds and your time tied up to prevent you from doing what you are doing. Keep up the good work.

EA shut down the BF2 PC multiplayer master server, and they also just did that to Bad Company 2. They are now going to do that to BF3 and BF4. Just wait and watch.

Would you ever make terrain moveable or destructable like the dead trucks and concrete barriers in the middle of the road?

[@SiqFix]

Instead of promoting your game you should be promoting Venice Unleashed if you really care about the true Battlefield 3 fans. Also there is Nexus for BF4.

[@trazercreations8478]

Venice Unleashed still uses EA servers to authenticate and they use BF3 master servers so when they shutdown BF3 there is no way to host servers and if anyone host master servers they will sue you, because thats what they did to BF2 master server providers

Sorry to say, but EA will never be able to solve EA's own problems. A remastered BF-BC2 will never live up to the same standard as the original. EA does not understand their audience anymore. All they see is profits. In the words of EA's former CEO: "When you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you're really not very price sensitive at that point in time." -John Riccitiello

not buying EA or Ubi games yesterday. Not buying them today, not buying them tomorrow. I warned all my friends about this crap back in 2008.

Well GTA V online service still available (11years). Idk if they release GTA VI, the server might be shutdown.

I think it's stupid how people will call an individual greedy and self-centered when they mention a game that they are providing for free on their own KZbin channel, but corporations will literally spend a million dollars just so they can earn a million and one dollars and nobody will bat an eye.

o7 good ol days of bf2 and mods in 2007 when meeting my first Clan who were filled with military veterans, they taught me a lot over those years then i kinda fell out when BF3 introduced the dlc passes.

[@Woud_]

With games everywhere getting online content cut, like with The Crew, making it completely unplayable. Would the sales become less if at release if it was known before hand? And if on the packaging of the game there was a big sticker saying: ''Will only be supported for 10 years/until the year XXXX''. Would this makes thing better/more fair? I don't think it really would at this point, but it would atleast be better if it is known before hand. (But somehow have that sticker/notification/annoucement with the exact minimum years and make that legally binding... idk, just thinking out loud).

[@Marinealver]

Well what do you expect from Evil Agency?

[@major3336]

I am never giving EA my money for a new BF game after this. BF4, and somewhat, BF3 are literally the only BF/ BF like games I play nowadays. Everything else just doesn’t feel the same. This makes me worried for even BF1. And once BF1 is gone, the amazing legacy of true Battlefield games will be gone forever.

[@Fierissimo]

The future of gaming will be all the good old games running on community servers forever; live services like Fortnite are ahead of the curve, periodic releases are dead just like E3 and EA is slow to adapt and will kill all of their IPs, fine by me🥂

This is the price we have to pay for Dedicated/hosted servers instead of having peer to peer.

Lucky enough to still be regularly playing with my best friend that I met on BF3 back in 2011/2012, we've been best pals ever since, this game has become a priority for us now and we've went back to it in order to give it the sendoff it deserves.
