AAA companies are focused on this sort of gimmick instead of making their game fun and playable.

Better to focus on a gameplay gimmick than make the same game again.

Well the finals has taken this gimmick and made it fun.

The Finals is a product that understands its demographic, EA has absolutely no clue what their demo is for BF and that's why we got a BR movement shooter with 2042.

These corpo dummies just look at what's popular and tell their devs to copy it to maximize profit. They do not give a fuck about making a good product, they care about minmaxing spending.
