10 Video Games That Were Killed By Executive Meddling

3. Star Wars Battlefront 2

Brutal Legend
EA

Let's dig up this dead horse one last time to truly look at just how shocking Battlefront 2's launch was. Of course, there was the issue of loot boxes and the absolutely despicable implementation of them throughout the game, but the issues of executive meddling go far deeper than that.

The game was gorgeous and was technically brilliant, but it had no time. It was another example of a game being pushed out before it was ready and being disastrously underfunded. The servers barely had any money put into them so the game was buggy and choppy on day one release.

EA paraded around how they had learnt their lesson with the first game, and they had. The DLC was all free. However, they learnt one lesson, whilst firing four more bullets into their own leg. DICE did such a good job but were held back at every point by EA's meddling.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
