Micro transactions all the way down, I would expecting nothing less from EA.

I’m sure they liked that kind of language in the earnings call but it sounds pretty gross anywhere else.

So basically dead on arrival

So, broken and buggy game with battle-pass and a perfectly functioning store from day one? Of course, a promise to fix the game with a roadmap within a week of launch. Yeah, a tremendous live service indeed.

I’m noticing the language used over and over now is “live service” instead of “game”. I’m coming around to the idea that what they’re trying to do is replace the fact that a game used to be a “good” with it being a “service”. That accursed farms video from 5 years ago titled “games as a service is fraud” was spot on. Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw

“In his first year as CEO, Wilson initiated a “player-first” corporate strategy, and offered more free-to-play games and in-app purchase options.[7] In a move towards a transformation from physical software to digital, he also greatly increased EA’s digital offerings, and launched EA Access, a subscription-based digital service for Xbox One players that allows unlimited play across a selection of EA titles.[7][8] Electronic Arts had a large revenue increase and its stock price doubled in 2014.[7][9]” -wiki

Boooooo

“Tremendous live service for my wallet”

Let’s go boys! Time to drop trou, get out your wallet, and pre-order the super platinum edition with a hilarious camo, useless rifle, and the day-1 DLC included.

There’s no way he’s dogfooding the micro-transactions. It’s impossible for him to do so.
