BF2042 lead design was the maker of Candy Crush mobile game, FACT

[SKY]

I am not troll , although it quite laughable. Go check yourself
He is not BF veteran player or anything. Was in position since 2019 and left DICE the day this BF2042 released. You can go look up what DICE up to these day.

That explained a lot of things for this Battlefield2042.

Why would he be a good choice for leading a 20 year franchise. Something tells me there is a lot of unhappy devs there that got punched out due to politics. Maybe Candy Crush made million from mobile platform?

Exactly this. So much talent left DICE during the game's development. You can't help but wonder if this guy had anything to do with that.
If I was a long-time DICE dev and suddenly I was being told to turn my passion project into a battle royale money printer, I'd probably tell them to pound sand, too.
I would love to hear an anonymous AMA some day about what really happened behind the scenes to turn 5 studio's efforts into

Bet he was like "Let's get this thing released so I can get outta here."

People come and go man. You can't expect everyone from the very first Battlefield to stick around and continue developing. People move on to different projects and careers.

I heard EA put the former head of FIFA in charge?

But you can expect someone to get some experience before working as a lead designer.

candy crush formula is get people who dont gamble to start gambling and then addicted to gambling all in the ruse of a colourful dopamine release "game". candy crush did not make millions it made BILLIONS.

does one have to be born into Lead Design without any experience of anything other than Battlefield?

like it or not Candy Crush is vaaaaaastly popular and a huge income generator.

The experience gained from working on such an enormous project will likely stood them in good stead for many aspects of the project.

I dont like Candy Crush revenue model but that's hardly applied to BF2042.

Lastly, don't forget, one person alone doesnt make or break a thing. There's more to BF2042 than a Lead Designer

Despite these explanations, the timing of Mesmar's departure announcement should be considered extremely unfortunate. The release of the latest Battlefield did not go according to the creators' plans. Just take a look at the user reviews on Steam (and other websites) - although clearly improving in recent days, the 30% positive feedback is not a result that can be expected from a high-budget production.
As if that wasn't enough, criticism comes not only from players, but also from EA DICE employees. Of course, not directly against the game itself, but the decisions of the management made during the work on Battlefield 2042, which influenced the final result. This did not prevent the game in finding buyers, but also does not bode well for its future.

As long as something is selling, EA could care less about reviews. The only thing they care about in the end is $$$. The shareholders only want to see their money grow, and if that isn't happening, someone in the chain has to go. In this case it was the lead designer, even though he probably told his bosses several times that this game would probably not be well received by old fans of the franchise. But he oversees the production, and if it goes well, he gets a really juicy bonus, but he's also at risk to be blamed.

Meanwhile shareholders demand results. What i think has happened is that this game received a record number of refunds. And that is something they really don't like.

This game had early access. And since the game-time clock only starts ticking once the game is officially released, people could actually refund after playing for 40+ hours. Which i know several people who did.
