Sponsored Battlefield 2042 Stream Becomes Cringey Disaster

screenrant.com:

A recent sponsored Battlefield 2042 stream went rather poorly, leaving fans baffled and confused. Battlefield 2042 has been a sore subject for many franchise fans for a while now. After a poor launch that was filled with countless bugs and soulless content, many are giving up on the game and retreating back to older entries in the series. Even the much-maligned Battlefield 5 is finding a second life in the wake of 2042's launch.

Over Christmas, Battlefield 2042 had fewer players than Battlefield 5 on Steam. Despite being a much newer game, 2042 is struggling to maintain its current player base as the content is failing to appease players and the updates are rolling out rather slowly. As of right now, fans don't have much of an idea of what the future of Battlefield 2042 even looks like due to DICE being preoccupied with trying to patch the game into a more acceptable state. Nonetheless, EA is doing its best to try and promote Battlefield 2042.

Twitch channel Crown recently hosted a sponsored Battlefield 2042 stream where four streamers not known for playing Battlefield competed against each other for the highest score. Players quickly pointed out that Battlefield 2042 has no scoreboard right now, so Crown had to use its own custom scoreboard to track the streamers' progress, highlighting just one of the game's many issues. To make it worse, during the stream, four players got stuck under a staircase and instead of acknowledging the bug, they just awkwardly stumbled over their words until they got loose. Following the backlash to the stream, the channel has also disabled comments on the YouTube upload of the stream. The stream was also posted to Reddit by
