Drama Forecast: downvotes

14  2017-11-14 by shitpost953

After EA foolishly decided to try to handle irate Star Wars fans in a hatejerk thread, they have scheduled an AMA for this Wednesday.

https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/battlefront-2/news/swbfii-changes-launch

In fact, this Wednesday we’d like you to join us for a Reddit AMA with some of the key leads on our team. Stay tuned to our social channels for more info on the AMA, and our blog for continual updates on what we’re seeing, hearing and adjusting in the game.

Also, it seems they have seen it in their hearts to slash the price of their pay-to-win characters by 75%. So much for that "sense of pride and accomplishment" that comes after a character-building 120-hour grind. Bloody millenials ruin everything

No word yet on where or exactly when the AMA will happen. As you can see they want you to follow them on twitter so that you can be notified when they give more information.

So the lesson is: millennials cry in the toy aisle until their mom gives in and buys them a new plastic action figure.

Hey, the strategy worked for them as children.

If you can buy it there is no sense of pride and accomplishment. I never really had any interest in the game but I'm confused why they thought this simply retarded logic would work.

I've got two garages full of expensive cars in GTA Online - the fact that others had to pay actual money for similar stuff only enlarges this 'sense of accomplishment' EA is apparently so keen on. The fact that Rockstar killed GTA Online on the PS3 where I have that stuff, and ruined the entire gaming industry with GTA V makes me hate it in hindsight anyway though.

I have 70mil legit from import/export and head-hunter. Got a lot more though, since I bought a bunch of expensive things.

It's not meant to be logic, it's meant to be a deflection to defend their microtransactions. Someone up top told their twitter monkey what to say and they said it.

As a no gamer, and a male who had regular sexual intercourse with females, I am very much looking forward to this.

As a casual gamer and casual sexual predator this still interests me.

No word yet on where or exactly when the AMA will happen.

They said it'll be Wednesday, and it'll almost certainly be in the battlefront subreddit.
