But, you know, promises not to do that again
I think it’s nice that we’ve finally managed to hold EA accountable to something. Can its ripoff sports game releasesbe next? Well, I guess it’s been DICE falling on the sword and profusely apologizing more than EA.
DICE LA producer David Sirland, speaking to GameSpot, re-iterated that you’re totally safe buying a new Battlefieldand he is, “certain that [Battlefield 4‘s botched launch] won’t be repeated because we’ve changed the way we work.”
“I can absolutely say that we lost [player] trust in the game’s launch and the early parts of the year,” Sirland said. “We still probably have a lot of players who won’t trust us to deliver a stable launch or a stable game. I don’t want to say anything because I want todo. I want them to look at what we’re doing and what we are going to do and that would be my answer. I think we have todothings to get them to trust us, not say things to get them to trust us. Show by doing.”
