All of a sudden, there’s a properly high-end, high-budget shooter out there for free, which means whoever tries to saunter along with their own offering sometime soon - for instance Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon project or PlanetSide Next - no longer has the open goal they once might have done.

Neither of these would have been popular with the fanbase (which isn’t the same as saying the fanbase wouldn’t have bought them, of course.
