Fans Direct Sharp Criticism Towards DICE Following Santa Skin Addition to Battlefield 2042

DICE has faced a lot of criticism since the release of Battlefield 2042. At the time of launch, it seemed as if nothing was going DICE’s way, with the fans being unhappy and criticizing almost everything the game offers, and rightly so.

Now, the developers have added two new skins to the game as a part of the Christmas collection. The controversial decision has led to a lot of backlash from the fans on Twitter. Let’s jump right in and find out what the fans had to say about this one.

Battlefield 2042 set to launch rejected skins

EA DICE has made mistakes in various areas throughout the game. But this might be one of the biggest missteps they make or at least what the Battlefield 2042 Twitter space mostly believes.

The skins were revealed on Twitter earlier today. Now, well-renowned industry insider, Tom Henderson, has shared some shocking information while replying to the original tweet and confirmed the addition. He revealed that the idea was initially shot down in a feedback session in March this year. It must also be noted that these guns will be free in-game, which could be due to the negative feedback.

Fans react to DICE’s brave decision

Tom’s revelation has now left most of the franchise fans fuming. Especially because of the complete out-of-the-box addition. Unlike other famous Battlefield titles.

One of the fans decided to share his views on the new collection with a hilarious Christmas joke. Surprisingly, the famous YouTube Creator, Westie, had a similar idea.

Some of the fans shared their frustration with the new skins. And a few even compared the game to other FPS titles such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. Clearly a consideration point for the devs.

One Twitter user went as far as mocking DICE for their own words, quoting them from official news wires that are directed for improvement updates.

While some players were clearly not big fans of the decision and the new collection, there were a few who actually like the skins and the ideology behind them.

Some players even took to memes to look at things from a positive perspective.

Battlefield franchise’s loyal fans even noticed some similarities in the developers’ decisions. They pointed out how other titles had featured some rejected skins as well.

A user even used to iconic Tobey Maguire meme to share the same information which could possibly be true.

Battlefield 2042 player base has now reduced to 70% of what it was at the time of launch. With its stock dropping by 18% as well as per reports.
