I think you are being to nice to Rockstar. Remember this is a full priced game and they absolutely could have done all the character models by hand. It seems they had no QA and put this out using minimal money, time, and QA as a quick cash in. Not to mention them suing there fanbase. It feels scummy especially at $60.

Battlefield 2042 doesn’t have a campaign sadly, but it does have a fully produced podcast that explains the in world story!
