EA are really focused on driving their subscription schemes forward. In the context of lost retail revenue per title the subscriptions start to look like a good insurance policy for a video game publisher.

Origin Premier is £90 a year. Which isn't much more than what people pay for one pre-order.

I don't know for sure, obviously, but I think that EA looks at it like this. BFV, in terms of anyone not buying it, would really mean that BFV didn't entice some customers to pay for a subscription.

Which is a loss of sales coverage for subscriptions. Because it doesn't really make sense to buy a full priced pre-order game anymore instead of a subscription. Which is also possibly why they don't reduce the price of BFV as that would devalue the Access Premier subscription.

BFV has a life of at least 5 years
the content we can get is HUGE
nations
weapons
tanks
theatres of WW2
uniforms
you name it

They have already abandoned ship on BFV, there is probably a skeleton crew working on it now and the rest are onto the next money grab. probably the only thing that will be running still later this year will be the BR, because people love BR for some reason.

then BFV is the last BF for me...back to BF3 & BFH

I think the lifeservice-system of BFV could cover the longer developmenttime for BF6. 
If bfv got no more Content after 2 years, while develop a newer game for 3 to 4 years, they will have some Problems, because they will lose Players to other  franchises for a Long time. Thats why you shouldn´t have a "gap" between games and normally this wouldn´t happen because the Players have enough Motivation to Play on. So it would make sense, if DICE really want to develope a game for a longer Periode, to do so.

BF5 won't even last a year

This game is not GTA, it can't sustain that long. Toss in the total lack of an AC that works and a Dev/Publisher that do not care and I'd say there is zero chance.

Seem so. Half the times I have to cut and paste it, because I start typing inside the quote

I believe they should release Battlefield in a similar vein as Counter-Strike; a new game every decade or so depending on if the community is ready for it.

One Battlefield game that spans wars from different times, similar to how the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PS2) had battles in the clone wars and the rebellion.

No fragmenting the playerbase, and EA can even get away with microtransactions just like Valve if they are not egregious (won't hold my breath on that last bit.)

Next Battlefield needs minimum 3 years of development time.

I really think no custom servers are hurting this game more then anything. You cant find the experience you want.

There is no hardcore, infantry only, fast vehicle spawn, large ticket count. No servers that promote team play.

Only two downsides is bad admins and only getting to play 5 maps.

And how the hell have they not fixed the vehicle spawn icons on the spawn screen. Nothing I hate more then spawning at home base to get a half track and nothings there and I get to redeploy.
