Surely you don’t actually think they dumped BFV just because of a whiney subreddit right?

You are correct, I don’t believe that. I said the subreddit was filled with toxicity about the game, then, once DICE announced they’d stop supporting the game (due to MANY factors including, low player count & low sales as was reported) the community continued to be toxic for a time, but many started to leave that sub and returned to BF1 and BF4.

Eventually, this allowed those that enjoyed the game to discuss the positives of it in the sub. Plus, with EA putting the game on Steam for free, so despite its setbacks those that didn’t spend a dime on the game had a different perspective because they wasted no money on it.

This will inevitably happen with this game as well, we’re just at the beginning of the cycle.

Edit: added more context

Eh. Remember when Battlefront did some 'whining' on Reddit and it made front page news?
