I agree with the fact that the game is still quite broken and requires fixing, so, in my opinion atleast, it’s nowhere near where it should be and still requires a lot of fixing for multiple aspects of the game! So I really don’t hope BA let the foot off the gas!
But I still have not lost faith in BA. Beneath all the issues, there still is an amazing game underneath which has so much potential if it can be finetuned. And with BA releasing patches at the rate at which they have been doing (which also means some unwanted issues or old issues crop up again due to lesser time for testing) it’s clear they are very eager to bring a better experience to the gamers and they are passionately working towards it.
Sadly, last year has been almost disastrous in terms of gaming! So many highly anticipated games (cyberpunk, battlefield 2042 to name a couple) have been terribly disappointing! So I guess it was just a bad year for gaming in general.
