After almost 2 years Battlefront 2 started dropping PvE content that could be played entirely solo. Some people think it's a sign that the game is nearing the end of it's support and the developers try to leave it with playable modes even when the population drops below the required minimum.
Anthem can be played solo in lower difficulties, but some tweaking for specifically solo SH experience is an option too. Solo Cataclysm too. Can be done pre or post Free-to-play. But does anyone think EA cares enough to bother?
Why would they? Solo sells nothing, delivers no peer group pressure, isnt really marketable. You sound like you just came back from a marketing internship at EA :-)

Also, It depends on what their next unveil is. I mean,w e knew that the cataclysm was coming. We have absolutely zero clues about what content is coming next though, as seemingly the acts were cancelled. So...if they mess up next time (highly likely, going off their track record), there's no more fallback option except free to play.

They should do this regardless. The game has become super easy (but even more imbalanced than ever before). Freeplay is basically not an option for me at all solo because it's so easy and the rest is a bit boring as well on GM3. And I'm still talking about solo play. Now I probably have one of the better equipped Intereptors and in part Rangers on the servers but they are still far from where I want them to be and there's also people who have even better stuff. I guess if you ask like the Top 50 or so players from recent Cataclysm leaderboards they'll most likely be in the same boat and are bored by the low challenge the hardest difficulty provides right now. So in order to make this interesting for teams they need to do a lot more. At least 2 more difficulties and the hardest one should always give a decently equipped and coordinated team a challenge. But they still haven't even implemented the option to set everything to private so most of the times you end up with a team even if you are already overpowered for playing solo. On the hardest difficulty. It's really annoying. Recently I've been playing Freeplay on GM1 to finish up some gear challenges and I really have to wonder how people can play this regularly after a certain point. If you don't have much stuff and a low level I get it. Been there as well. But there's a lot of higher level players to be found there as well and I doubt they all do challenges. And I can also see why BW might have a problem with balancing, because on GM1 pretty much everything works. Heck, I even can understand damage rolls on priming abilities now because you can honestly kill enemies with these items on GM1, it's absolutely ridicolous. I wish they released some more solo content or would at least allow us to solo everything that's in there without being disturbed. Even Cataclysm could be interesting even though you can't get everything done. But doing the events and Vara should be possible. The problem here is: there's puzzles you can't do solo or at least not with every Javelin. Stuff like that obviously has to go and is a bad idea no matter what as numerous public matches have proven

Turns out, this actually was his notice of resignation. Major LOL.

I wonder if the position will be crewed again.
