10 Biggest Video Game Blunders Of 2016

5. EA Crippling Titanfall 2 With The Worst Release Date Possible

If you were to name the two biggest FPS franchises out there, chances are that would come down to Battlefield and Call of Duty.

Would you think it would be a wise decision to launch your FPS game, which saw the first receive mixed reactions, between the release dates of those two bigger franchises? Like, literally right in the week between the two?

Of course not, but the folks at Respawn and EA sure did.

As a result, Titanfall 2 only managed to sell a quarter of launch week sales its predecessor had sold in the same time. Digital sales also decreased even with the game being released on multiple platforms, unlike the Xbox-exclusive original. It should also be noted Titanfall released in March, instead of an overcrowded October.

Obviously, Titanfall 2's sale numbers were nowhere near expected for EA, and in the long run may even impact the chances of us seeing another game come from the series. It's a shame too, because Titanfall 2 was one of the better games of the year, but thanks to its release date, it just wasn't the first choice for many consumers, and has since been looked over.
