You might be willing to spend $60 for the base game, but they wouldn't have sold 25 million copies of the base game during the first week if it cost $60. You don't speak for most of the player base, who is only here because the game was free. Hell, I bet at least half of the people complaining about skin prices in this thread wouldn't have bought the game at full price in the first place. The only reason some of you are even upset about skins is because EA gave the game away for free. That's the business model.
At the end of the day, they make more money with this pricing. It's the same as in Fortnite where the legendary skins cost $20 each. These are proven price points for this stuff.
My point was from my perspective, idgaf if other people would have bought the game or not that was never my point.
Yes most people are here because the game is free, that doesnt make the predatory loot boxes and insane pricing any less dumb.
I said that its gross, not that it isnt a proven buisness model or that they would have sold 25mill copies or that other games dont have the same shit in it.
That has nothing to do with what i said.
Its gross in fortnite, it's gross on pubg, its gross on Destiny and its gross in this game.
