Battlefield 6’s “no pre-order” push clearly didn’t land. Despite years of mistrust toward EA, reports put BF6 pre-orders on Steam in the hundreds of thousands.
In this video I break down why so many players still pre-order, how the open beta hype and slick marketing shaped perception, and why the franchise’s past (BF1 → BFV → 2042) left Battlefield 6 in a weird limbo of **“EA bad” vs “BF6 looks good.” We’ll talk trend-chasing and “fortniteification,” specialists vs classes, who actually pre-orders (casuals, naïve, impulsive), and whether any of it really matters in a live-service world where long-term quality—not launch day—decides a game’s fate.
If you enjoy deep dives that mix analysis with a bit of spice, tap Like and Subscribe (I’m cooking a full video on “fortniteification” next).
