*the microtransactions*

EA made $0 off of me

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Which is why I think they won't "learn" anything from Fallen Order.

While we are celebrating that a single player, no BS Star Wars game sold great. All EA shareholders will think about is how much more money they could have made if it had microtransactions

It's an easy cycle. Make a trash MP only game or two, have a few SP projects in the works then cancel them. Finally allow one to trickle through and actually let the devs do what they want and through sheer starvation of a quality gaming experience EA gets the bag from it.

Cant even remember the last time I bought EA game.

 

[Simpkin92]

I honestly can’t remember the last EA game that I played. They all feel cheap and money grabby to me anymore.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

And this is why they just won’t ever go away. People love them Ultimate Team packs or whatever.

I mean, who knew that THIS was where Horse Armour would lead to.

 

[Aidah]

I once opened a free "surprise mechanic" in a game, still felt like an idiot and a lab rat even though I didn't pay anything.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm concerned about what will come from this. :|

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I'm concerned about what will come from this. :|

Yeah.

See that’s the thing. I hate this shit in videogames but it’s completely unreasonable for me to expect a company to say no to a billion dollars extra profit.

so where does it end? I guess that remains to be seen

 

[zeorhymer]

Nothing new. Probably all FIFA monies.

 

[MadAnon]

People actually thought that microtransactions would be EA's undoing.

Mobile game industry hasn't taught you anything? Microtransactions make up by far the biggest revenue in gaming. PC gaming revenue is mostly built on mmo games and microtransactions. MOBAs, World of Tanks, Fartnite etc.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Probably 90% from FIFA so unless you play that it's not super relevant.

Hate all you want, I’ve paid for player packs during good Ultimate Team promos in Madden. Helps keep your team competitive And enjoyable in the best modes of their online 1v1. The scheduled content releases for MUT keeps the game playable for a lot longer after release.
