While not directly monetized, the game's persistent progression and the 'always on the move' nature with mobile bases can create a sense of continuous engagement, potentially leading to extended play sessions. The online nature of the game and competitive multiplayer may expose players to social comparison and mild competitive toxicity, though stranger interaction is limited. The narrative, while engaging, presents a simplified view of conflict and could be seen as having mild propaganda elements. The requirement of a persistent internet connection and an EA account, along with non-transferable serial codes, creates a barrier to access and ownership.
