The rep went on to describe him as a “troll” who has “a history of customer abuse, publishing copyrighted material, and user review manipulation.” While Valve was investigating the Active Shooter controversy, it figured out Berdiyev’s real identity.

You think Battlefront II caused a firestorm full of burning shit? This would set the Devs that ok’d this in fire. EA would probably burn to the ground and they wouldn’t bother trying to rebuild

There’s no way that’s happening. Can you imagine the shit storm?

Wouldn’t you rather just be able to buy what you want? I think cosmetic MTX in $60 games are never going away, but they feel far less predatory when you can just go to a shop and pick whatever skins or hats you want rather than rolling the dice in hopes you’ll get that rare Junkrat outfit you’ve been craving.

Similar wait-and-see mentality for Anthem. Got this gut-feeling that EA is going to sneak some BS into that game and then throw BioWare under the bus. EA may as well stand for End of Amusements

I appreciate your cynicism, but there is a 0% chance that will happen.

I’m certainly not going to complain, but I get the feeling that something far more insidious is waiting just around the corner.

It’ll probably be something along those lines. I’ll stay skeptical until game’s release and reviews.

No loot boxes! We have cards that you can trade for items instead! You can buy a pack of cards for just $4.95!

Fuck cancer.

I all for making things into a bonkers alternate history “secret weapons of WW2" game. Which is good because that’s what this game looks like from the trailer. A soldier throws a grenade and shoots it out of the air to make it explode and destroy a plane flying 15 feet from the ground and is then saved from death by a…

Wow, it’s like Cecilia summoned you like Beetlejuice.

Only took 4 minutes for That Guy to post. Gotta be some kind of record.

Sums it up perfectly. Wait the boat needs to be already under water.

It’s absolutely preying on gambling addiction.

I’ve never actually cared enough about cosmetics to spend real money on them, but it’s so crazy to me that apparently companies can make more revenue off slot machines than they would if they just sold things piecemeal in a store. It really is predatory, appealing to the secret (or not-so-secret) gambling addiction…

Cosmetic-only lootboxes are still lootboxes.

It’s not just you. Their armor and weapon design has gone in a very different direction.

If you got to the end, butt-naked, and could’ve killed the two dudes, then you reveal yourself, you have nothing to prove to yourself or to anyone, indeed.
