“Focusing on… year-round business” does not necessarily mean a new title every year. A connected, persistent experience is a company-wide priority, certainly one that Peter Moore, the new chief operating officer, will bring to the table. But with Call of Duty releasing every year, it certainly sounds like EA wants to meet that head-on.

Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 10:36 AMHow are the comments conflicting? “Year-Round” clearly refers to the use of Map Packs and DLC to people buying/playing BF3 all year.

Monday, August 8, 2011 at 10:33 AMWhat supporting games after they release them. Yeah sounds bad man. Why would I want updates for my games, Many of which are free map packs and paid expansions. Which are worth the money much more then some of those map packs for COD.

Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 11:02 AMReally? So I guess this’ll be the next IW vs Activision debacle?
I really hope I’m misunderstanding the use of “year-round” here, because at the moment, it sounds as though they are going to drill their IP’s into the ground with yearly releases.
Why would they change “Fewer, Better, Bigger” to “More, Crapper, Smaller?”

Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 11:42 AMAhem… They are obviously referring to their new plan to alternate each year between MoH and BF games.

Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 2:38 PMThe trick here is obviously getting EA/DICE to speak out more regarding BF3 in attempt to correct this article. :D

Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 4:51 PMThere is a stark difference between “Year-Round” and “Yearly”

Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 5:59 PMDo EA actually own DICE and/or the Battlefield IP? Or do they just publish them?
Cam
Sunday, August 7, 2011 at 2:25 AMBoth, they own and publish DiCE games.
Cam
Sunday, August 7, 2011 at 2:26 AMWho would know what they’re talking about more, the game dev’s or the company that owns them *facepalm* DiCE put some money aside and go solo please
