I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

This is interesting because Nintendo lost $2.42B in stock value over the last 2 days. As I said, as much as we want lootboxes to die, it doesn’t mean much.



EA's done extremely well over the past 5 years. This drop isn't a significant problem, and I think it's largely unrelated to Battlefront 2.

For the record, EA's stock has fallen by 8% in a month four times over the past two years. In June 2017, December 2016, February 2016, and November 2015. It hasn't stopped EA from doing very well - the stock value is up 54%, and revenues consistently increasing. In fact, everything points to FY 2018 being as good as 2016 and 2017, which are the best years for the company yet.

While there might be reason to dislike their recent practices, there are no real signs that it's affecting them negatively financially. It's merely a continuation of what's been a massive success.

I can't wait for the day they go bankrupt.

Why hope for that? That means people losing jobs etc;

The studios that they close down make people lose jobs too, even if some people are transferred.

Better to just rip off the band-aid.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Good EA need a good kick in the backside there's also a petition for EA to lose the Star Wars license that seems to be catching on

Well...this gets a smile out of me, specifically after hearing about their pathetic "pink Vader" excuse for not keeping lootboxes cosmetic.
