Thats because DICE is called embark studios now.I can't be bothered about this. DICE is horrible as a dev team now, and they should focus on BF2042
True, but you also sometimes sell more thanks to that IP (Mario Rabbids without Mario might have sold a tad less ). Star Wars license should help you get 20% more sales but .Not surprising, this is why studios prefer their own IP. When you rent a license you change the economics of the project.
20% is a lot of money to give away, that's potentially hundreds of millions that EA can pocket if they make their own IP. Not sure Battlefront is that much of a big seller compared Battlefield so it makes sense to drop it. I'm sure they've done their economics.True, but you also sometimes sell more thanks to that IP (Mario Rabbids without Mario might have sold a tad less ).

Only if you don't shit the bed at launch and DICE doesn't know how to do that. IP's like Star Wars and Marvel are money making machines if you make good product, only half assed developers who know they can't whine about IP costs from properties that print money.Star Wars license should help you get 20% more sales but .
As I said, best talent from DICE went and formed Embark.good. give it to a studio that still knows how to make a shooter game. DICE peaked with Battlefield 2 + 3. everything else since then has been downhill for them.
I really enjoyed the multiplayer of Star Wars Battlefront II (as much as I hate the story campaign), so I would have liked a third one.
Good...DICE dosent need anymore shit on their plate. Theyre fucked enough
This sounds right but it comes with the hubris of thinking making your own IP can have that reach… not dissimilar from the piracy argument being directly equated to lost sales 1:1… yes, it is not the same thing, but it is the same hubris.20% is a lot of money to give away, that's potentially hundreds of millions that EA can pocket if they make their own IP.

I think Tom Henderson said two star wars games are in the works at eaPeople don't realize that Battlefront II ended up being really good (like the OP).
With EA's exclusive on the Star Wars license ending, it likely means they're only allowed one Star Wars game (Fallen Order 2).
Most of the quality devs left after BF5 so now they have kinda questionable people left in studio..good. give it to a studio that still knows how to make a shooter game. DICE peaked with Battlefield 2 + 3. everything else since then has been downhill for them.
I disagree. It launched in a very sorry ass state, and took over a year to change many things around but it went from being shit to tolerable to being a good experience.Nothing of value was lost.
