In a blogpost on the official Battlefield website, EA outlines ten major changes coming to Battlefield Hardline after taking fan feedback into consideration.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
MAJOR changes ?
I mean.......really?
I like BF4....but what I played of hardline was basically a lesser version of BF4.
Some people will buy this, but not me. This should have been a themed expansion like BC2 Vietnam. At it's core, it is a themed expansion of BF4, but EA / DICE thought they can squeeze more money from people by releasing it as a complete game and adding "Battlefield" to the name.
I refuse to support games like this. What should have been a $20-30 DLC is priced as a full price game.
No thank you, and although I have nothing against Visceral, I hope the game fails.
This is data worth no more than $20.
Regurgitated code, faulty code at best.
BetaFail is dead to me, they actually ruined my fav franchise.
Planetside 2 for meeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Sounds like a lot of the comment are from people who bought DLC for BF3 (aka BF4) so now they think Hardline is DLC for BF4 when it's completely different and made by a different dev.
I have the ps4 version of BF4 and I hate it. After the horrible experience I vowed never to purchase another. To me hardline is a quite a bit different but in a good way. Plus Im a sucker for the cops and robbers theme. I'll probably give this a shot when it drops.
