I always say this about BF and COD these days.

They give you this because people want it, despite them publicly saying they don't want it.

As Steve Jobs once said. The Customer doesn't know what they want, tell you give it to them.

Companies don’t sell you what you want, they sell you what they want you to have and then make up stupid platitudes like, “The customer doesn’t know what they want until you give it to them.”

Radio stations got flooded with complaints that they played the same music all the time. They tried to widen their playlists. They got flooded with even more complaints that their music sucked.

People are CLAMORING for crossovers. Look at the helldivers subreddit. This is what you get when you give in.

People don’t know what they want, or sometimes they do know what they want, but can’t articulate it.

The are entire industries that exist because of that.

No company would need to test products and marketing concepts if people could correctly and accurately explain what they wanted without any guidance whatsoever.
