“almost as if there are entire massive groups of players that like the system and game and dont read enthusiast blogs”

This comment kindof reeks of “whatbaoutism.”

People also love hacked nudes, foie gras, sex slaves ... there are people who love being catfished, or thinking they’re investing in African royalty ... there’re people who’re thrilled that Bernie Madoff handled their money.

People love the potential results of the packs, not the pack itself. Of course, EA is conflating the two for their own purposes.

There are plenty of games with randomized loot.  “Lootbox” refers to randomized loot you pay for.

The problem is, this game mode shouldn’t cost any real money. 

Like how any addict like his drug.

Yes, when your sample size is those who buy them, probably gonna have most of them be fans of it.

That was my secret plan all along 😈. Then maybe we could get Titanfall 3

No this is cuffy not buffy

Judge to Plaintiff: git gud

That was one interesting detail of Stargate SG1. In the later seasons, the USAF built and flew the ships. This was before the Space Force, and the USAF was behind the gate program the whole time.

This is the first ruling i’ve ever seen where a judge put in writing that he played an hour and a half of a video game as “research” to grant a motion.

lmao did u get to keep the executive title?

I’ve been named in lawsuits at my job from suits where the plantiff just added employees at random to the case to see if they could get my company to quickly settle. They even spelled my name wrong and named me as a executive lol. People throw frivolous lawsuits around all the time just to fish for quick settlements.…

What if it’s Hitler?
