This should come in as no surprise given that many BFV developers on Twitter and forums told people not to buy the title after the game’s reveal fiasco,

What? If you are a DICE employee you should be telling people to buy your game.

No, wrong, wrong and wrong! You have to signal your moral superiority at the cost of sales at every opportunity! The product might tank but if you signal them strongly enough then you're still guaranteed continued employment in a different department or different company, because "you're one of the good ones".

Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Codex Year of the Donut Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
One reason for the poor sales could be that they just announced their game pass thingy. Battlefield V is included in that.

And who is this Adelaide Gardner? Don't tell me she is a dev.

EA really need to learn that SJWs aren't going to buy their games no matter how many black, disabled empowered women they force into them. Meanwhile the core shooter of audience of white males want to play WW2 games with some level of historic authenticity. Personally I'm looking forward to this but the marketing has been dire.

The first close up with a talking character is a Congolese man. And it ends with a black man throwing a knife at a white German officer. Subtle EA, subtle!

Fucking corporations and their "muh diversity" narrative. If they so wanted to throw women in combat, svens should've swallow their pride and make a game about eastern front for better history accuracy.

EA Patrick Sodurland: Those who have complaints are uneducated and hate women. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Battlefield V pre order sales are weak

EA Patrick Sodurland announced he would be leaving EA after twelve years of service on August 14, 2018

Sure I like House of the Rising Sun as any other fellow, but (((some people))) should start thinking about another song to exploit to death or I'll end up with a Ludovico-like shock conditioning.

Someone on top is telling them to put those things in there. You are also more likely to be promoted on top creative positions if you openly spout certain narratives.

I'm amazed people still think this is all about money. What will it take for retards to realize this is about power and that behind all those so called "private" companies there's a larger entity at work mobilized by a single purpose? We all know this PC garbage doesn't sell and yet every commercial company in the world does nothing but try to shove this shit down our throats, but nobody ever wonders why even though it is so clearly against their economic interests.

As if any of them are at risk of failing economically when they are all backed by a cartel of billionaires who dominate our banking and trading systems and have immense influence on the government as well.

Folks, wake the fuck up. It's all a fucking sham. There is no democracy in the west, and there is no such thing as fair competition. There is one uniform oligarchic rule that dictate who gets to succeed in the market and who gets squashed into oblivion, and those who succeed are the ones who play by their rules and promote their interests.

Guess he was banking on reverse psychology to override prior controversies about Battlefront 2. :lol:

Not every company though, so not everyone is controlled by it.

For example Bethesda is not shoving SJW down your throat like every other company and Nintendo is totaly separated from it.

Bethesda is owned directly by the tribe. They can do whatever they want. They have the entire media at their feet due to their connections, and Todd Howard is just happy with making money without putting any effort since the gaming press will hype his garbage regardless of how shit it is.

And Nintendo is a Japanese company. They got their own shit over there, i'm talking about the west here.

I think it's less because of the "controversy" but because of the competition and Battlefront II drama. Has the controversy even reached normie circles?

I think a lot of the dudebro audience isn't a fan. Call of Duty still has priorities straight and puts a man on the cover, and that's a great decision because CoD is beating BF5 in prerorders, BF5 has been a soft flop.

It could be more of a flop than we see and think. If the game doesn't deliver the expectations it could fuck EA stocks. It is like their third soft flop in a row.

I like to think that the weaker than expected pre-orders are not due to muh empowered wombynz but rather due to the fact people finally learned not to pre-order EA's motherfucking shit-covered, cancerous, radioactive sludge they call "video-games".
