The anti-Battlefield 2042 petition stressed the point that EA failed to live up to expectations. And also that it didn’t deliver on promises that it made prior to the release, back in 2021.

After hundreds of thousands of fans joined the campaign, the Reddit community for Battlefield 2042 shared a great result recently. Sharing an image in a post, it mentioned that the petition attracted over 150,000 users, as of this writing.

“There are over 240 news articles in just the U.S. alone mentioning the petition and your concerns, comments, and asks.”

Even the reputed American magazine, Newsweek, covered this entire matter. This implies that it’s a serious campaign when it comes to fans and their disappointment with Battlefield 2042.

Seeing this kind of outcome, many petitioners expressed their happiness and relief. Some of them even wrote that it’s a “message for the entire gaming industry, especially AAA”.

“We are in the news,” wrote another user.











Simply put, the efforts paid off eventually.

Meanwhile, Electronic Arts is yet to come up with an official response on this situation. As per the aforementioned Reddit post, the publisher didn’t comment on the petition, even after getting contacted by Newsweek. But now that the movement has spread out on a higher scale, it will be hard to ignore it.
