Why this entire self-righteous internet outrage is beyond embarrasing in a nutshell.



??

They know people will notice it. They also know that this will have zero tangible effect on the company.
Making peoples voices heard, over poor business practices is self-righteous? Sure ok bud. We should just lay down and accept any BS that comes our way.

I want to protest this game so badly, but I just can't face another day without the privilege of playing as Iden Versio.

i said in the other thread and i will repeat it here
I do hope this game flops just like Mass effect did, so EA takes another hit in loss just for trying to fuck the consumers. if the developers were behind this, then i hope they would follow suit and get shut down and kicked out of their jobs.

I know what i am saying makes me look like an ass. But honestly, this looting / micro-transaction shit needs to stop. we are paying premium price for the game already. Its not a f2p so you can charge us more in order to advance like those cheap f2p games.

Was going to post the exact same thing lol.
This has to be EA's scummiest year in a very long time.

The decisions this year put all the other publishers practices combined to shame.

Is there any person at EA who singlehandedly behind all of this, is it the CEO?

My god. The sad part is this is exacrly what a company like EA would do, make it harder to be fair to its consumers. By doing this, 99% obviously deliberately, they confirm themselves as a anti consumer and just mindlessly greedy corporation, borderline on just evil. Honestly, someone in EA yesterday saw returns were being asked, and his immediate thought was "lets make it harder/impossible for them to ask for refunds of their money, fuck whatever policies we had to be nice to them, that's the obvious best play!" Like, the Worse Company in America award may not have been worthy of them then, they sure as heck feel like it now.
Now, I can abandon all hope for any future EA game, including Titanfall 3 and Anthem, those will most definitely be designed from the ground up to also provide gamers an unfair playing field for sure, just to push microtransactions.

This is because you people keep asking "how lower can EA go?" and they have to do this so you won't be disappointed.

Newsflash, bud: the entire gaming community laid down and accepted any BS that came their way since Horse Armor.
Nothing you said, changes anything I said..Only way to enact change, is make the voice heard, regardless if you think it's worthwhile or not. This is not Horse armor, it's far worse. How did the Xbox DRM backlash make out?

I was never going to buy Battlefront 2 after how the first one turned out. But goddamn if EA hasn't managed to completely blow me away with how scummy this shit has gotten.

Give it a week and the people gettting refunds will be banned from the service.

Sony and Microsoft both pulled this too. Banning people for asking for preorder refunds or for broken games(Halo MCC).

Govt needs to step in and force these companies to allow refunds.

Also, DONT PREORDER EVER

Worst Company in America (rip Consumerist)

2013 EA
2014 Comcast
2015 [probably Comcast, but not published]
2016 (Consumer Reports poll) EA

I'd say EA is in the running again...

If people feel the need to buy EA games go ahead and pick up Garden Warfare or Garden Warfare 2. Great games.

If that is what you got from my post you should try to read it again.

You literally said you'd get banned if you expressed your feelings on fans and customers hating on EA.

Somebody's gotta look out for EA I guess. Screw the customers who feel shafted by all of this. Screw the fans who were looking forward to this game. EA's feelings and survival is of paramount importance at the moment.

Haha, wow.

This takes some serious balls given the current climate around this game and company.

If you're only realizing this now then that's on you for not paying attention to the direction of the industry since its customers approved of the outright removal of content to pay for it later.

It's not on me at all. It's on these shitty companies. I don't get what point you're trying to make?

We expect some unintrusive MTs in that sort of game, such as in Destiny. Put it in the hands of EA though and it's on another level. I never though EA would go this low. They have. Hype evaporated.

And nothing you or the rest of the internet is going to say will change anything. People throw tantrums, but keep buying those games.

Only way to enact change is to follow up on making "your voice heard".
