We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
It's pretty impressive. I'm pretty sure they just have a bet with the telecom's over who can take a bigger dump on people's faces with no repercussions
They just know that they can do whatever and people will still buy their shit. The very same people who REEEEEE the loudest about DLC and microtransactions are the same ones who buy them and encourage this shit.
The very same people who REEEEEE the loudest about DLC and microtransactions are the same ones who buy them and encourage this shit
The ones that buy and encourage that shit whine about the exact opposite.
Remember that dating site hack? The leaks showing users complaining to support because the "pay via SMS" method did not let them waste money fast enough?
Yeah, I've been seeing people complaining about EA for years. These people act like EA forces them to buy this shit. Here's an idea; go buy something else. Maybe save your money. Make a homeless person's day.
Don't buy a game when you know fucking exactly what the experience is gonna be, and then cry about it. What the fuck.
I'm not gonna go to the store, open a carton of eggs, see that they're all smashed, pay for them, take them home, and then cry about it. Don't fucking buy it WTF
All these dickheads have preordered the game and then cancelled it, as if they aren't going to fucking buy it in a month anyway. Then there will be masses of memes about how shit BF2 is and why it's a shit game and EA is shit. But they still bought the fucking game.
"Hello, EA customer service, how may I help you today?"
"I would like to refund Battlefront II"
"What is your reason for wanting to refund Battlefront II today, sir?"
"I don't want to spend 40 hours unlocking Darth Vader in a game I already paid for"
"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.
As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.
We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.
Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can."
I was just imagining that conversation in my head with an actual person on the phone from EA. I'm really not sure how i would respond to that haha. Whole thing is hilarious to me.
That's the best part. Gamers are so stupid they will buy anything regardless of business practices and DLC content charge. I mean, you have dumb digital cats on WoW alone selling for $20.00 a pop.
EA alone could live off the "Put dumb assassin creed copy and paste per year" for the next 200 years. I'm honestly shocked they haven't made loot box content for the new WE WAZ KINGZ creed.
I mean look at the margins your telecom companies are pulling. They care because at the end of the day your profit must always be increasing year over year or else face the wrath of your shareholders. It's shortsighted bs, but nothing bad will probably come of it so why not
I always figured the people who actually look into this sort of thing and make judgments about it are a small minority of the folks who either bought the game or consider buying the game. For every dude that sees that their microtransactions are scummy, there are 20 others that haven't really paid any attention and just see "Oh a star wars game that looks pretty rad" and buy it.
maybe they play it and realize unlocking or paying to unlock kinda sucks, so they maybe stop playing a bit down the road but otherwise don't have the energy to really care that much. So then EA still makes big sales.
Redditors think they matter when in reality the 100k downvotes means literally nothing when you get millions of regular joes buying the game because they just want a fun time.
Yet a self post with no supporting evidence gets 104k upvotes, and almost nobody is challenging it. This is why reddit has a reputation for being fucking terrible.
The button is not there and support pages seem to indicate it should be there, according to your own article.
It's misleading news, sure, because non-preorder editions have the button and other preorder games are affected too, but not fake.
The button was not removed as a response to the BF2 fiasco. The article also mentions that these problems date back several years; it is literally not news.
If something is claiming to be something it's not, it's fake. So... Fake news.
"The issue comes from the gameplay.
If you come in first place with 20 kills and 2 deaths, you may get 50 credits.
But then so does everyone else, so what's the point?"
Do people really just buy video games for the sole purpose of getting credits within the game they purchased? What's the point indeed. CODII was some of the most fun I've ever had with a game. There was no progression. There was no unlocks. 3 kills gets you a UAV, 5 an airstrike, and 7 a helicopter. That's it. Literally nothing else to show for it but a K/D ratio on your profile. And it was fun as fuck. What happened to people.
They're addicted and EA designs the games to be addicting. When I was younger I was addicted to Diablo II just doing the same thing over and over in hopes of getting better loot for no other reason than it would make me slightly faster at doing the same thing. The companies have only gotten better at making their games addictive and also they've monetized it better. I would probably get addicted even now if I didn't have a busy schedule shitposting/being a Russian bot on reddit.
No clue, I don't work in a call centre for EA because I choose not to work for shitty/corrupt companies. And the mentality of "Oh no! Don't yell at themmm, they didn't have anything to do with these decisions." Is the same argument as Nazis aren't bad broooo, it was all Hitler making the shots you shouldn't yell at the Nazis they were just earning a wage and following orders. If you're reading company approved responses, THEN YOU'RE SPEAKING FOR AND DEFENDING EAs WORDS.
Had to explain to some steaming retard why it's not okay to be rude to call centre staff earlier. He actually thinks that being rude to someone who answers the phone at EA is going to result in an exodus of disgruntled staff.
The point is rich kiddos can buy crates to unlock stuff faster, which is lame if you're a poor fuck like me. I'm all for game progression and unlocking shit, but it kinda defeats the purpose when you can pay monies to speed the process up x10.
That's what I'm thinking. These people are whining about having to play the game. Remember in mortal Kombat when you had to unlock certain characters? What the fuck is wrong with children?
The 💰 intent 💰 is 💰 to 💰 provide 💰 players 💰 with 💰 a 💰 sense 💰 of 💰 pride 💰 and 💰 accomplishment 💰 for 💰 unlocking 💰 different 💰 heroes. 💰 As 💰 for 💰 cost, 💰 we 💰 selected 💰 initial 💰 values 💰 based 💰 upon 💰 data 💰 from 💰 the 💰 Open 💰 Beta 💰 and 💰 other 💰 adjustments 💰 made 💰 to 💰 milestone 💰 rewards 💰 before 💰 launch. 💰 Among 💰 other 💰 things, 💰 we're 💰 looking 💰 at 💰 average 💰 per-player 💰 credit 💰 earn 💰 rates 💰 on 💰 a 💰 daily 💰 basis, 💰 and 💰 we'll 💰 be 💰 making 💰 constant 💰 adjustments 💰 to 💰 ensure 💰 that 💰 players 💰 have 💰 challenges 💰 that 💰 are 💰 compelling, 💰 rewarding, 💰 and 💰 of 💰 course 💰 attainable 💰 via 💰 gameplay.

People who still buy EA games are like some kind of mentally deficient underclass. I just don't get it. Oh, and Mass Effect 3 was a piece of shit, even disregarding the ending.
These are the same children who have whining about preordering for years. And yet they preordered a game from a company they have also been whining about for years.
Exactly. Theres a reason this shit not only continues to keep happening but is steadily getting worse. I bet at least half the idiots throwing a fit in that thread preordered the game even.
God I'm looking forward to the AMA. Apparently at the same time they announced the 75% reduction in cost of the locked content, they also reduced the rate at which you could earn their currency. It's going to be a glorious shitshow.
They set the end-of-campaign reward to match the cost to unlock the campaign character in multiplayer. So that went down by 75%, the rest stayed the same.
Fortunately, this is Reddit, so the truth never gets in the way of a good hivemind meltdown.

Yeah... That's what a closed beta is.

People who still buy EA games are like some kind of mentally deficient underclass. I just don't get it. Oh, and Mass Effect 3 was a piece of shit, even disregarding the ending.

Man, why does literally every sci-fi series go to shit.
I just want play in space

Everspace and House of the Dying Sun are recent and pretty damn good. They don't have TIE Fighters though.

I haven't bought an EA in years. It's not thst hard

Dragon Age Origins was the last for me. Mostly because it was the last game that didn't have mandatory online DRM.
1 KingNothing305 2017-11-14
No it had an NPC that said "BUY DLC"
1 toynbeeidea16 2017-11-14
Oh yeah... I kinda forgot about that. Mostly because I pirated the DLC. :)

They deserve everything they get

I torrent all of the EA and Ubisoft shit.
Games that i cant torrent i don't play. Simple.

These are the same children who have whining about preordering for years. And yet they preordered a game from a company they have also been whining about for years.
1 ALoudMouthBaby 2017-11-14
Exactly. Theres a reason this shit not only continues to keep happening but is steadily getting worse. I bet at least half the idiots throwing a fit in that thread preordered the game even.

God I'm looking forward to the AMA. Apparently at the same time they announced the 75% reduction in cost of the locked content, they also reduced the rate at which you could earn their currency. It's going to be a glorious shitshow.
1 VicisSubsisto 2017-11-14
They set the end-of-campaign reward to match the cost to unlock the campaign character in multiplayer. So that went down by 75%, the rest stayed the same.
Fortunately, this is Reddit, so the truth never gets in the way of a good hivemind meltdown.

I bought it. Played all night and was late to work today. I don't regret a thing. Gonna buy 100$ in loot boxes Friday when I get paid. Thank you EA!

>when EA literally has to remove the refund button on their site cause they fucked up that bad
1 a_jill_sandwich 2017-11-14
I'm thinking of buying this game. All of the other autists are getting refunds so they will be hanging out on other games.
