An accidental reveal of Battlefield 4 has thrown the shooty-game community into a frenzy, and not just because it confirms a new game in the pipe. Gamers are worried that Electronic Arts will drop support of their current game, Battlefield 3, in favor of the new darling. These days, the phrase “dropping support” doesn’t just mean the DLC will stop flowing; EA could turn off the Battlefield 3 servers entirely and kill the game. The lumbering gaming behemoth has turned to calm these fears by etching a pledge in a nearby mountain with its acidic excretions, claiming Battlefield 3 support will continue. CVG has the story.
Remember those days when game companies produced new and interesting games rather than the same thing over and over with slightly different graphics? Those were good days.
Also, you know, they couldn’t flip a switch in their skull fortress and turn off your games forever. That was nice, too.
