That's what forcing people to pay for micro transactions does.

I’m sorry but this is the news equivalent of “Dude gets a lot of likes for a post on FAN”.
It’s EA, the internet is biased against them (justified or not) and they posted something on a famous Internet forum. What else was going to happen?
These are the group of people that expected me to believe EA was the worst company in America. The whole of America.

... EA needs to buy TNA and Arby's so I can focus all of my shallow corporate disappointment on a single entity.

Reddit is one of the big social medias.I think it is bigger than dude gets 100 likes. They got 265,000 dislikes so far,it just stands out as a noteworthy feat. But yes, nothing will change until people stop buying EA games

It’s like going “Breaking News: Taylor Swift gets a lot of responses to her social media post”. Sure, Reddit’s a big deal but the story should be about the actual statement itself and not whether it has dislikes or not.

I'm calling it now. "A sense of pride and accomplishment" is the next big gaming meme.

Whilst it's funny, I'm not sure it deserves to be the most downvoted considering some of the horrible things people have said on that site.

On the subject itself, which is kind of ignored, the idea of having to grind for a long time to unlock something with the only alternative being to pay extra for "early access" is the gaming age we live in. And it sucks that developers intentionally make games that are unplayable without extra cash transactions.

Why do people even bother buying EA still?
I know I'm going to get screwed so I don't buy EA until the price drops to a tenner. Even then I'm often disappointed.

If the news stays consistent, they'll probably back down with some crappy explanation about why it would've been better their way. Like Xbox One and their launch controversy.

Fifa & Madden Plus anything with the Star Wars name will sell Sadly the people that complain will still buy the product. I have never bought any EA game that isnt used, but one guy isnt gonna make a dent in EA The problem with EA is they've got their fingers in so many pies it's really hard to buy a game (even good ones) without their name on it

It's not even the microtransactions that I'm most pissed about. Like it or hate it, I've accepted that that's videogames in 2017.
It's the fact they took beta information to find the most popular/used characters and items and then made sure those things were the hardest to obtain.
And then there's the news going around Twitter that they lowered the paywall considerably for reviewer copies (one screenshot from a review shows a character costing 10,000 credits when the same costs 60,000 in the retail game).

It's incredible how EA goes through cycles of not being so bad and then goes right back to being the worst publisher ever.
Current rating is -358,000 btw.
