I say this without snark (maybe a little cynicism) but the most likely explanation for all of this is monetization. It's easier to sell weapon skins when there's less barriers to using your favourite gun.
The BF6 Beta results were inevitable and this is the exact response I predicted. Open vs Closed Weapons was never a fair comparison when one playlist is buried, unexplained and hidden from casual players with a HULU style user interface... Of course most people stick with the default.
The Beta didn’t "prove" players prefered Open Weapons. It only proved how easy it is to steer data when you control visibility. One option was front and center with exclusive modes and the other was pushed aside with no context.
That’s not player preference. That’s rigging the outcome. You didn't discover what players want, you decided it. I'm excited for launch and I'll be playing a mix of both depending on the friend group I'm playing with but let's not pretend this "player driven data" was even remotely fair.

This guy gets it.
By surrendering to an 'open weapons' default, Battlefield 6 is giving up the most special thing about Battlefield pcgamer.com/games/fps/by-sur…

The director of Dragon's Dogma 2 has said he wants players to properly travel through the game's world instead of using fast travel.
Hideaki Itsuno says if a player relies on fast travel it suggests "your game is boring".

The most elegant and concise review of Starfield needs no words:

"Avocado and toast" guy is back with another banger
Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."

The omission of *any* sort of ground vehicle is truly baffling. I like Starfield, but the things they chose to prioritize vs ignore/omit entirely is extremely strange to me, especially when looking at how all of the game's different systems and sandboxes interact with one another
