Re: Titanfall 2 crashes after 2-3 seconds of getting into multiplayer screen
@Nakatomi_Uk Agreed, and I sadly think you may be right. In all fairness, as a publisher, I don't think EA cares too much about any specific game or brand; they want to make a profit. That's it. When a game no longer is profitable, it's off the table. Titanfall 2, as a game, isn't particularly profitable any more and hasn't been for a couple of years. The Titanfall franchise is still a lucrative brand, though, and if and when Titanfall 3 hits development you can be sure they're going to hype it up. Battlefield 2042 was a major letdown, to be sure, and I imagine what EA wanted was to make up for what they paid for it and then some, that's why they pushed that a bit further. Regarding the state of Titanfall 2, I've been informed that the upkeep and repairs are on the developer's side of the table, not on the publisher's. In short, EA invests money into a project that (in this case) Respawn is in charge of leading, producing and perpetually take care of. After release, EA will regain their investment money through sales, and that's the done deal. Respawn are supposed to handle the servers and security issues of Titanfall, not EA. I suppose EA could toss Respawn a few buckets of cash to sort out the staffing issues getting in the way of Respawn prioritizing a fix, but that would be money lost and entirely goodwill on EA's part.
That's how I understand it, and no, I don't necessarily like it. I want the game fixed, preferably turbocharged with a few updates, but that's unlikely to happen.
