EA's shares are now being affected, now it comes to money they will hopefully clean this baby up.

By the way that reads, it's only dropped
*because* they said they were shifting focus to fixing it, not because of the issues. The shareholders are
exactly the same as EA, they just want the money.
This absolutely is
NOT a positive for the development and fixing of Battlefield 4
One day after Electronic Arts put all DICE projects on hold--including new Mirror's Edge and Star Wars: Battlefront games--the publisher's share value fell more than 6.5 percent today. Shares are currently trading at $20.81 after closing yesterday at $22.34.
They may well say they are trying to fix it, but as I've said before I'll believe it when I see it. If they really have put the entire DICE team onto fixing this, it had better be god damn freaking flawless by christmas. And by that I mean, fixed, tested, alpha'd, beta'd and released... None of this half-arsed "oops we gave everyone mega ammo for this gun by accident" BS they pulled in previous patches.
EA/Dice need to chuck this 'unified platform' BS out the window that they adopted with BF3. We're forced to use the POS Origin, they might as well use it and micro-patch BF4 using that.
Even if that means moving onto a beta release for all users to get daily / nightly builds for testing bugs.
LET THE GAMERS and COMMUNITY beta test your products you bunch of morons... seriously though.. They have one of the biggest most dedicated communities and they do nothing about it, Bohemia have got it DEAD RIGHT by having a beta branch build available via steam and they allow the gamers to test and give feedback.
Dice need to do the same thing, they have the platform that they've rammed down our throats (origin) they need to utilize it instead of releasing bi-weekly piss-poor-patches.
Yes, I'm annoyed by this, but I can't fathom how they can be so stupid as to not use the resources they have available to them...
