THIS is the issue.
Courtesy to relay such information should have been carried out prior - not post
Smells like cost cutting to me but they don't wanna admit it.
I do agree however Prep768, that communication within dice and to their players needs improving (i've thought this for some time) .... this is a decision that need to be resolved internally there, but like any business bad consumer relations will accumulate to consequences, its not rocket science. In this instance one would expect information regarding closing down these two regional server hubs would either be presented on one of the battlefield news updates or passed onto one of the team to post a sticky here in the forum.
My in-game experience would still be poor due to such actions, but at least I wouldn't have been in the dark about it. Still, I've been playing on the German servers for a few days since this occurred, and its feels horrible. Thats not a spiteful opinion, just an honest one.
Looks like a deliberate move on EA's part. Think we can kiss the UK Servers goodbye for ever.
** Bad Decision EA your going to loose a lot more of your slowly eroding player base due to yet another stupid move **
Isn't Andrew Wislon earning enough as CEO of EA ? When some people have so little, some have far too much
Greed in the Extreme
As Chief Executive Officer at ELECTRONIC ARTS INC, ANDREW WILSON made $35,728,764
Surely 33 million is enough! UK servers were always full ime anyways
release in the BF series ?
It just doesn't make financial sense.
However, you lot in the UK will have to make a decision if you feel shafted enough to not buy the next game.
The uk servers going offline is only a fly in the ointment compared to the other reasons why I won’t be buying the next game!
You actually don’t. Especially when you consistently make bad decisions that run a company into the ground. That’s a fraudulent ideology that comes specifically from Harvard Business School. There have been several books written about this. As for being available 24/7 for 20+ years, just stop. Many great teachers and professors are available 24/7 for just as long. Where’s their $35 million? CEO’s make 1000x more than your average person, but do they do 1000x more actual work? No. No, they don’t.
I had a hunch and looked it up and guess where Andrew Wilson studied? That’s right: Harvard Business School. They promote the sociopathic ideology that profits and shareholder value are more important than whatever it is the business actually does in whatever industry. They also have a twisted idea on how you determine what their exorbitant executive salaries should be.
This is the crap that gives capitalism a bad name. Think of any crummy CEO over the last several decades and I can guarantee you there’s a 90% chance they went to Harvard Business School.
There was no reason to shut the UK servers down, just maybe limit them if you think it causes a problem with matchmaking, which is didn't. After all the servers are only pop up servers anyway, only show up when a server is needed. It was great for months not having to play against high ping players which affect the server overall but now its back to the bad days of BF1.
No new maps in almost 5 months, one due next month, bugs and balance issues now the removal of something which wasn't needed to be removed. All i hope is they sort out the German servers now they are the only ones in Europe, because they feel very laggy.
