   Okay so, apologies in advance for stepping out of line of the 'gamer opinion' 
   
   People are getting angry and smug about the EA conference, and I don't entirely get it.
   
   A lot of EA is games that the majority scoff at, but have a consistent fanbase. 
   
   I've seen a bunch of people react like "urgh Battlefield AGAIN? Urgh, a Battle Royale mode in Battlefield?"
   
   ...Putting the currently popular genre, in a popular game series, isn't...surprising, surely.
   
   It's like being annoyed at a conference and saying "how dare they announce Call of Duty"
   
   I get it, it's not for you. But...of course they're gonna announce it, it's still a super popular series that gets them a bunch of money.
   
   The inclusion of Battle Royale mode...Deathmatch has existed as a popular game mode in those types of games for ages. Battle Royale is currently the 'big thing' and is a perfect fit.

      in reply to
      I don't personally like the Battlefield games, or Battle Royale stuff. 
      
      But people clearly -do- like them. They're very popular right now.
      
      A lot of people seem to have this mindset of "well me and my friends don't like them, so no one can."
      
      Which directly conflicts with the fact that...they're pretty damn popular. 
      
      I wouldn't touch Fortnite or PUBG with a ten-foot barge pole, but I'm not gonna go around saying they clearly don't have a fanbase. Because they pretty friggin obviously do.
