I'm surprised people haven't gone after Disney yet as they own Star Wars, mainly to have them take the Star Wars license away from em
Not saying it'll work but I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet

And also, either Wells Fargo or Equifax is the worst company in America. Not EA. YEah... Equifax leaked a shitload of peoples personal information and didn't tell anyone... that's a hell of a lot worse than "made a game and messed around with shitty loot boxes".

Was Equifax outright malicious or just incompetent?
But yeah, the likes of Wells Fargo and Comcast are far and away worse than EA.

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

Maybe Belgium's government looking into this mess was the last straw

So wait, did they adjust the amount of time needed to unlock stuff or just disable the microtransactions? 'Cause... you need to do both here.
Also, maybe this is just me, but I find it difficult to give them credit for fixing something that shouldn't have been a thing to begin with. Good on them for at least fixing it I suppose, but it was ridiculous to act like it would've worked.

For now, that makes the game "play-to-win" instead of "pay-to-win."
Also, the future in-game purchases are looking to be for cosmetic stuff. Skins, emotes, etc.

Maybe it's bullshit, but it's a rare moment of actually acknowledging that the business model they've chosen might need to be reworked. I'll take it.

And even with this 'fix' they're still gating off characters that should have been readily available to people who didn't pony up the cash immediately.

I'm still sceptical.
As soon as all this blows over they'll reintroduce p2w because it's EA and it's what they do.

Any word on the local multiplayer? Because ultimately I'm just going to play this game with my kids.
