Even if they got outraged it wont matter as they bought the game already. At that point they only care about the whales and people leaving will just save them on server costs.

Well just like people in general, everyone complain about Trump but how many times have people tried to assassinate him as president? Even if he launched nukes for the fun of it you would just sit home complaining not actually doing anything. Year after year people vote against their own self interest just because…

They will lobby congress to make legislation stating it’s not gambling to please disney. After that they will put microtrans back, probably with higher costs and more grind. They don’t care about you the customers, they care about their even more evil overlord disney. Star wars game will sell no matter what,…

Thanks for ruining gaming. You will show up in their server statistics and they use those statistics to get funding for next project. And to explain why the game sold they will say; “it was the first installment with microtrans, lets add more microtrans to next game to sell more”. EA was right to put microtrans in…

This is temporary and after they sell enough games they will put it back, probably with even worse rewards and more grind. Why not? They already sold the game, if someone stops playing it’s just good for them, more room for the whales and smaller server costs.

So your doing this for free? Do you have a job? If all you do is making world a worse place could you do us all a favor and kill your self? If you have kids kill them too as you probably raised them to be assholes.

Wow, never seen such a stupid response. You work for EA or just lobby their shit for free? If game making didn’t make money they wouldn’t make games and as long as they release no numbers on profit and how much they spend on marketing and other stupid shit I don’t believe them saying they don’t make money. And at…

You work for EA or why you want to give them another 60$ for this microtrans selling platform?

Meanwhile president lies about everything, calls everyone names and is overall asshole. Your country truly sucks, you need to make lying in politics against the law or this will keep happening every other president when you forget how bad republicans are.

Well that’s how world works, if your a woman and want to stream or do anything media related you just have to look good and it wont matter what the actual content is. I personally appreciate the actual content more and watch porn as porn, most woman streamers rely solely on looks and are horrible to watch. Almost all…

Yup, you can trade your casino winnings for sex with prostitutes and other cool stuff, just like when you was a kid and did with these.

Yup, that’s their purpose, make kids gamble as adults.

Either you make laws to prevent games abusing the weak or give everybody access to affordable mental healthcare. The fact you don’t have a problem doesn’t make those who have problems disappear, only in your self centered world where other peoples problems don’t exist.

“marketed towards children, like Overwatch and Battlefront II are (in Europe both titles have a PEGI rating of 12).”

Don’t threat, just kill or encourage suicide. That’s what you get when you work for satan and your job is to develop new ways to abuse people with problems. Just end all social media accounts and make all info of you hidden, you have millions so you don’t need friends anyway. Price for being immoral I guess.

Have fun supporting the end of gaming. Soon we can call all “games” lootbox platforms. They are made primarily to sell lootboxes, not for the game, it’s just a side product now. All thanks to you, personal thank you for ruining gaming Jashby.

Sure buy this and your nephew is sure to get microtrans in all his future games. Easier to teach also; want to be good? just buy these boxes.

They don’t want to charge more as their target audience is 12 year old’s and they rely on parents to buy them their adult rated games. With microtrans they can possibly get thousands of dollars from single user, compare that to 20$ price increase.

“But one has to wonder if the very public backlash is going to counteract whatever money either of them hoped to make.”

Nice try, if they don’t make profit just stop making games, they wont as their taxhaven accounts are flowing over with money. You and your game publisher owning buddies can play your microtrans shit all you want selling digital shit to each other in your fantasy land where no amount of money is enough. If EA had all…
