Battlefield 4 Premium sales reach 1.6 million

In spite of all its bugs, and in spite of DICE publicly announcing it had suspended development of DLC, Battlefield 4's "Premium" Season Pass has already sold 1.6 million, publisher Electronic Arts revealed in a financial call today. That puts it on par with sales of Battlefield 3 Premium, which reached 1.3 million sales in two months. If EA is able to maintain momentum, it may be able to match the 4 million sales that BF3's DLC offering managed.

According to CVG, EA is promising that more information on the remaining three expansions for Premium members will be revealed "soon." The next expansion, Naval Strike, was planned for a Spring release before the game's launch bugs suspended DLC development.

        They deserved it. Teach them a lesson to release a buggy turd. I like that turd but it's still a buggy turd.

        You can say it was EA but DICE reused code that was still buggy from BF3. That 'beta' they put out didn't really do anything since it was apparently old code to begin with. Patches don't do anything for problems and create others.

      I really regret buying in to premium pack at launch considering the extras alone aren't worth the $50 price tag. There is zero updates or even hints when any of the DLC will be out. If you already have China Rising as pre-order bonus there is little reason to upgrade at this point. If they announced some dates for the DLC maybe consider it but as of now don't bother.
