Batllefront 2 was such a catastrophe that Battlefront 3 is dead and EA lost its exclusivity deal.
lol surrre Its soooo dead cause that deal, EA is now celebrating with 3 more Star Wars games /s
I don't buy that Battlefront 3 is "dead" cause of any deal, Disney ended the exclusivity, they did not end having the brand used by EA...
A rumor come out last year that Battlefront 3 wasn't being done based on some licensing thing regarding the cost, but clearly.....they lost exclusivity, THEY DID NOT LOSE THE RIGHT TO USE STAR WARS, I'm shocked people are still confused over this and trying to force this narrative as if to suggest that deal ending, is the result of all things under EA, I don't see enough there and you need to prove that man.
I think this has more to do with several things. DICE and the Battlefield IP. EA likely wants them focused solely on that. ReSpawn has just confirmed they are making a Star Wars FPS title and I believe that new title isn't Battlefront, but likely something else entirely and they didn't want some MP FPS by ReSpawn, out at the same time as some Star Wars FPS by DICE.
I think it makes sense to allow ReSpawn that time to do a new Star Wars FPS, allow DICE to fix Battlefield. I however don't see shit that suggest this has to do with that exclusivity deal. ie look at the fucking thread you are talking on sir *so much for that dead and lost bullshit btw* lol
Also further proof that Dice is in the shitter. Things are changing fast in the industry.

I think this has more to do with that then anything else. I think they are a solid team when all things are working, but they fucking can't have them doing Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield, Mirrors Edge lol fucking chill. They were also doing all the frostbite stuff and working on other projects for that engine, I think its just too much and no one should be shocked at the flops and BFV launch, Battlefront 2 disaster etc.
So I'm ok with ReSpawn doing a new Star Wars FPS and DICE just focusing on Battlefield. They spread that team too thin and should have not been surprised by all the trainwrecks that happened last gen under them
