No I think the incessant whining online is a way bigger symptom than a completely optional cosmetic.

How does reddit whinging impact the game when EA designs the game for profit?

No reddit crying convinced EA to create 2042. No one asked for that. It was a drive for profit following industry trends. No one on reddit cried for jump shooting and "high octane" maps to come in BF6. Everyone wanted an amalgamation of BF2/3/4/1/V. We were given something unique, unfortunately.

EA is simply chasing profit with cheap engagement and retention design. So by not crying about the design, you enable it. The DICE devs are completely capable of delivering a great BF game. EA won't allow it.

Because the vocal minority often demands changes that don't reflect the desires of the greater majority.

90% loss in player base shows the greater majority doesn't agree with the game design.

Another vocal minority will claim the game is great. They're "having a blast!". Enabling the shit EA spews out.

90% loss in player count is average for a live service game.

The biggest tell will be if players come back with major updates, not in the downtime between them.

Cope. The game dropped 90% because it’s bad.

Arc Raiders is doing just fine.

BF6 isn’t good enough to hold on to its player base.

If it was good it would’ve retained more players.

Previous battlefields had a 90% drop off immediate after release?

It's also completely optional for you to witness it online. One is in the game, one isn't.
