lol so they`ve now temporarily disabled microtransactions for a short limited time only. They must think we were born yesterday if there actually thinking this strategy will solve anything. How dumb do they actually think people are to fall for that kind of bate ? Considering EA stated that in there own eyes that they believe the average person is an idiot and that they will buy into it anyways then they are most certainty a very dumb and idiotic cooperation indeed. By playing there cards with this strategy things are only going to escalate and get worse once the switch is flipped back on and that there leading other publishers on who may decide to use the same idea and strategy in there future games. If there`s one thing we all know and that`s we shouldn`t fall for the EA tricks. There clearly lowering players in waiting for the right opportunity to come along so they can screw the players over and disrupt the core balance of the multiplayer.

Believe me when the sales numbers start going up they`ll reintroduce the service and therefore we will lose once again to EA even though people may actually thought that we bought the game and won. The only way you can win is by not purchasing there product but even so it`s just not enough because the minority of people will buy the game anyways despite the meltdown over the matter we`ve witnessed over the last few days on social media. I mean if I remember correctly the original Battlefront ( EA ) sold around 10 - 11 million in sales but hell EA`s strategy isn`t based off that since there whole direction for there cooperation is making loot crates available online for the long lifespan the game goes on for. The thing is though the only way I could see this being thrown out of the game and having it eliminated would be if Disney felt uncomfortable with it and be honest if EA were actually making millions more off microtransactions than the actual sales of the game then in legal terms Disney could if they wanted to have the entire micro`s system disabled completely that`s if they see it in a way of gambling with the players.

Just picked up my copy lol figured I'd post this just to trigger everyone

ayyeeee

Received my copy today as well , haven’t played it yet cause life


Don’t care to quote it but just saying - yes honestly EA or anyone else can assume everyone is an idiot. Being “average” is just a fancy way of saying that 50% of everyone else is dumber then you are, so yes, the majority of people are idiots.

So removed temp for a rework, makes sense.

Been there, done that. No regrets, never give up on what's important. Prioritize. Happiness is all that matters.
I really like meowers but can't own any for the time being.

So far the campaign is amazing. I'm loving it

Congrats on giving EA exactly what they wanted. Remember thid thread when every multiplayer game has pay to win lootboxes.

You mean the thing most Triple A titles already have? Ok lol

What do you mean by this? Just because other people bitch about the micro transactions doesnt mean everyone is forced not to give EA their money. Goop likes the game for the game, not the politics behind them. We just like to over evaluate the smallest of details. Two different kinds of people.

Stop normalizing this shit lmao, "most" AAA titles do not have pay-to-win MTXs.



It's not politics, it's literally a part of the game. People who have money progress faster than people who don't. It's fucking ridiculous. And once this becomes the norm, they're gonna find some new way to fuck over gamers. It's never-ending, which is why gamers need to take a stand and tell companies like EA to fuck off with their greedy bullshit.

Yeah I simply play games based on if I like them or not. I could care less about the details of how the company wants to make money. If you owned your own business you would want to make every little penny you could Right? It's probably easy to say "yeah well I wouldn't screw over my pkayers" but that's easy to say when it isn't your business and you aren't in charge. Most games nowadays wither it's a mobile phone game up to Call of Duty has ways that you can pay real money and get rewards in games. It's the nature of the best nowadays. If you feel like you can affect change by not supporting EA than more power to you. Like I said the game is fun so far for me so it's all good in my book.
