EA has reportedly taken notice of the success of the Call of Duty Elite service and has now admitted that it’s “looking at” a possible subscription service for Battlefield.
EA head Patrick Soderlund told VentureBeat [as reported by GIBiz] that EA “we’re looking at how we can maximize our investment” and get more people playing their product. He did however add that while the idea could bring upon changes, EA are talking about where these changes may come into place.
“We look at it as a 24/7 service. We have people in Stockholm and North America and other parts of the world that are on this every single hour of every single day. 365 days a year,” Soderlund said.
“We have an operations team at DICE to look at telemetry data. How are people playing the game, how can we improve the experience? Are they having problems? Are servers down? Are they up? All that stuff.
“I’m going to continue innovating and doing as best as I can with my teams. Hopefully that’s going to lead us to more units [sold] and more happy consumers,” concludes Soderlund.
