Yes, I am also on the butterfly. I do like butterflies, it reminds me of Life is Strange, cause & effect, and all that jazz.
We'll see what the future holds. Still alive 🫡
Lots of chatter and nostalgia taking place, and I want to highlight one of them, wiseman @Dennis_Firewall!

Las Vegas is now the battlefield. The first squads have arrived 🚨
Season 5 Gameplay trailer arrives tomorrow at 8 am PT.
The team is currently testing backend functionality that lets players stick around longer in consecutive matches.
We know this one has been a frequent request; let us know if you notice it (in some matches, it may not appear!)
🫡
Match & Lobby Continuity Change
Over the next few days, you might start seeing more familiar faces across consecutive matches.
We’re testing some backend matchmaking tweaks designed to keep more players together between rounds whenever conditions allow.
We expect this to be more noticeable in the official playlists where everyone shares the same map and mode rotation.
As part of this, the team is aware of a small error message displaying at the bottom right of the screen when joining a match. Gameplay and matchmaking remain unaffected while the team works on a fix.
Because this is an active test, we’ll be monitoring matchmaking health and lobby balance closely, and may dial things back or pause adjustments if needed.
Drop into a few rounds and let us know how your games feel.
It's fascinating to watch the marketing strategy unfold.
These behind-the-scenes agreements, much like Netflix's, are designed to boost viewership and key metrics like subscriptions and impressions.
Netflix likely got a bounty of new subscribers to watch the reveal recently, and now with Game Informer...
While players are busy feasting on all the new details, the real magic is happening behind the scenes. This partnership is a masterclass in mutual growth, trading massive hype for a surge in subscriptions, impressions, and long-term reach.
Two sides of an coin in regards to road to launch.

So today is my last day at EA on @Battlefield and @PlayApex.
To the Battlefield creator community, thank you so much for the time we've spent together both in the game and out. It's made the last 2 years the most rewarding of my career, without question.
The team that remains are some of the most passionate in the games industry. They're made up of highly intelligent creative strategists and fighters who continue to push the interests of players and creators every day. I trust them implicitly and cannot wait to see what they do next.
For me, I will be taking a couple weeks off, watching my beloved Cleveland sports teams break my heart, hanging with family, and enjoying time with my dog. I'll be back very soon to share where I'll be headed next. It's something I'm very excited for.
Until then, thank you...and PTFO.

Over the coming days, we will be undergoing a series of maintenance windows for the following titles. This will consist of a period of 120 minutes of downtime across all platforms at the indicated times as our team applies necessary infrastructure updates.
- Battlefield 1: Sept 23rd @ 9:00 AM UTC
- Battlefield V: Sept 28th @ 9:00 AM UTC
- Battlefield 2042: Sept 29th @ 9:00 AM UTC
We'll work to get you back into your chosen game as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience!
Not a bad take; stream sniping is griefing and disruptive behavior. Battlefield has seen this behavior, and we've worked to stomp it out (and will keep doing so).
That's through streamer modes, name obfuscation, sanctions, and more.
Streaming gameplay should not be a negative.

As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
