Steam issues refunds for Battlefield 2042 as player count plummets EA DICE, SteamBattlefield 2042\u2019s downward spiral continues, leading Steam to break its own rules and provide frustrated fans with a full refund. The launch of Battlefield 2024 was incredibly troubled, as months of ill-fated rumors came to fruition. Lacking vital features that were intended to enhance the game, players are now dropping EA DICE\u2019s latest installment completely in favor of older titles. To add salt to the wound, online games retailer Steam appears to be breaking its own policies to make peace with upset players. Steam breaks their policy for Battlefield 2042 Steam will allow users to apply for a refund for a recently purchased game, within the parameters of their policy requirements. While having purchased the game within 14 days and less than two hours of gameplay are normally fundamental requirements, Steam is bending its own rules to appease disgruntled Battlefield 2042 fans. The Battlefield 2042 player count continues to drastically plummet, reaching a brutal low of under 9,000 players. November saw a player peak of 100,00 but it has dropped in vast increments over the remainder of 2021 into 2022. \u201cPlayStation won\u2019t refund. Lucky PC players\u201d said Redditor Dangerous-Case9544. The move is incredibly bizarre for Steam, but players are seeing it as a sign of Battlefield 2042\u2019s failure: \u201cThe fact that STEAM ITSELF had to bend its policy from how poor this game did, shows just how badly they did.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m really bothered I can\u2019t get a refund. Haven\u2019t played the game since November, man. What a f****** disappointment\u201d added Redditor NaughtyNaughtyMod. Battlefield 2042 isn\u2019t fairing well when it comes to user reviews either, as the game continues to be slammed by players. With over 80,00 reviews live on Steam, the critical consensus has seen a \u201cmostly negative\u201d rating applied to the game. \u201cYou don\u2019t care anymore and have milked enough out of what was originally a classic game that we would all spend 100s of hours on,\u201d said Steam user MattyCamps in his scathing review. The future remains uncertain for Battlefield 2042\u2019s redemption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
