Battlefield 2042 season 1 delay reignites refund demands for failing shooter EABattlefield 2042\u2019s troubled launch hit a new low when developer DICE announced it would be delaying the long-awaited Season 1. The news sparked an angry backlash from the community, and players are once again asking for their money back. The release of Battlefield 2042 has been something of a disaster for EA and DICE. A negative critical and fan reception led to \u201cdisappointing\u201d sales of the FPS sequel, with the player count hitting worrying lows not even three months after launch. After weeks of bugs and glitches, some fans began to wonder if the game could be saved at all. Season 1, for many, was the last hope to inject some into life into the shooter, and give them a reason to keep coming back. But the recent news that Battlefield 2042 Season 1 is being delayed until early summer appears to have been the final straw. Many players are now demanding refunds on the game they bought back in November. Following the announcement that Season 1 will be coming later than expected, fans wasted no time in expressing their anger. A Reddit thread kickstarted by Quantum_Force received over 4,500 replies, with plenty hitting out at DICE for the delay. \u201cEarly summer? Now I officially feel robbed,\u201d said one reply. \u201cGame is dead as hell already, it\u2019s gonna be a graveyard by the time the first season finally drops.\u201d The Season 1 Battle Pass had already been sold as part of the Year 1 Pass, available separately or as part of the Gold and Ultimate Editions of the game. However, the delay means players will have to wait to see any reward for their purchase. What an absolute disgrace this has been from EA and DICE. Utterly ruinous to the franchise,\u201d said another reply. \u201cHow on Earth were they taking money from people for a game and year one season pass that was never going to be ready in time?\u201d The disappointment of the delay has reignited calls for refunds on players\u2019 copies of Battlefield 2042. Anyone who purchased at launch is well outside of the normal refund window, but fans are hoping to get their money back given the circumstances. \u201cNope, that\u2019s the last straw. I will be contacting Microsoft today. I know it is significantly past launch but I still have less than 10 hours on this game and it\u2019s already been barren. I pray I can get a refund cause this is simply inexcusable and insulting to long-time fans of the franchise.\u201d Read More: Does Battlefield 2042 have voice chat? – \u201cI am calling Sony on a daily basis until I get a refund for this pile of f*****g garbage,\u201d said another reply. \u201cI will never buy another EA game in my entire life.\u201d DICE did confirm in the announcement they would be offering a free bundle to anyone who bought the Year 1 Pass, containing weapons, skins, and a player card. However, players clearly feel that more drastic action is needed to save Battlefield\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
