THE MORE YOU KNOW

People who were able to buy Star Cards preordered the game, as that is the only way to get early access, and they pulled the micro-transactions before the global launch.

Point is - players already invested, average skill probably higher?

Not enough data. Correlation and causation, etc. etc.

Eh, I’d rather have a “pay to get ahead” system I’ll never use than a “forced-DLC to purchase” to keeping playing the game.

Really too bad because it is a very fun game to play.

So EA saw the Star Wars action game Visceral was struggling with, and the Star Wars action game Respawn was doing very well with, made a smart business move. GJ EA!

Hopefully Respawn continues to excel and produce top-quality games like TF2, hopefully TF3 is even better!

I have a 4k TV, sadly not HDR capable, but it looks amazing on my new Scorpio Editions XB1X. It enables me 4k native content on blu ray, in apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime videos, and outside of that... it runs even un-4k enhanced games faster for loading, smoother FPS where applicable, and more.

This post brought to you by the new Xbox One X! Play the same games at 90-95% the graphical quality, for half the price and none of the fuss!

I agree (in general) that publisher mandates are overall a bad thing for the industry, as the “best” publisher/developer relationships are based entirely on the publisher’s trust in the dev....
