DICE "surprised" by "very strong reaction" to Battlefield: Bad Company cash for weapons scandal

Speaking to videogaming247, DICE producer Jamie Keen has said that the EA developer was taken aback by the fierce reaction to plans to charge for weapons in Battlefield: Bad Company, but that listening to the community is paramount for those working on the franchise.

"We were slightly surprised by the strength of the reaction," he said.

"Charged downloadable content is becoming more prevalent throughout gaming, but it's important for us to be able to react to people's wishes and desires. There was a very strong reaction to it.

"For a game like Battlefield, where we've had a very strong online presence, and traditionally we've had very strong communications with the community, it's important for us to be able to react to people. And yeah, we have to listen to people." (Battlefield: Bad Company, PS3, Xbox 360)
