Alright. So, what justifies 70 bones? BF6 visuals is just a tad better than BF5 but at least BF5 has a bit of RT. Was the reason for the continued price hike... "growing costs in tech in games," cause is it definitely not due to the number of employees today; given the mass layoffs everywhere.
Adding the latest technology is only an option for users, not a necessity for all. Including RT/PT wouldn't have ruined the game experience for those who choose to leave those features disabled, especially in multiplayer.
No. EA is just trying to make a quick buck and call it a day, due to its failures over the years. They're counting on BF6 to make up for a lot of missed revenue by playing it safe and cheap... at players' expense; releasing a full-priced game without taking real risks/new technologies. Plain and simple.
