Well, they offer a free version of the new Battlefield 6 game entitled, "REDSEC" which is supposed to be a battle royale version of the full game and you get to do all this fighting with up to 100 people either in two man squads or 4 man squads.

I played for a while and it was kinda fun, there was a lot of hackers and the game was kinda buggy. But, it was still slightly fun. I just like to run around and take in the scenery while exchanging gunfire with the other players... but after a while, the game started crashing to the desktop. No error message, nothing. Now, this has never happened before on any other game, I got the best hardware and the best configurations so I know for a fact it can't be my computer.
Upon closer examination and doing research it appears as if this is a common issue. They are all in the forums telling people to remove the thermal paste or update their BIOS as a fix. Upon even closer examination it appears that the people who are doing this are professional shillers who go around promoting this and that and creating a buzz where there should be none.
It appears to me as if these Battlefield developers are the ones who are simply kicking people off then they monitor your telemetry to laugh at you while you search for a fix. The game WAS ranked as one of the most popular but then all of a sudden the usage counter simply dropped according to steam charts.

At it's peak, there were supposedly 747,440 players. Now there are only 40,155 players. I highly doubt that these are real numbers of actual players. Most people are complaining about bots being an ongoing issue and spectating the players they aren't even responding like a human would its purely robotic behavior while they pretend to scan the area but when an enemy comes, which isn't even visible on their screen they somehow know which direction instantly even before being fired upon which gives you a general direction. Not only that, but, the players in question are all doing the same type of repetitive behaviors. When comparing them to real players, the difference is night and day.
There are supposedly many videos of proof of this on youtube which I haven't personally checked out.
Just another case of developers abusing their paying customers. This seams to be par for the course with these people and the issues we are facing when trying to unwind from a hard day's work.
I suspect some type of money laundering is going on with the gaming and entertainment industry as it boggles the mind why anyone would want to take their own business especially one with great potential such as this game had.
It just does not make any sense to do such things and they've come under scrutiny for laying off the studios who helped them develop this game.
I've ran stability tests, benchmarks, and all kinds of auditing on my own system and can come up with no other cause for the crashes other than it's built into the game.
Something to consider when purchasing a new video game title, you might just be paying for someone to abuse you while you attempt to unwind from a long day's worth of work. -
