They also charged for friggin' player haircuts in NBA 2K, let's not forget. Even worse, they tried to squeeze additional money out of their players by not even lending a preview and charging you for the old hairdo if you didn't like it.

Take-Two is paddling up shit creek alongside EA, Konami, Bunglevision, WB and Ubisoft. No wonder they tried to defend EA's shitty antics by saying loot boxes aren't gambling even though they clearly are.

haircuts is as cosmetic as it can get, so even though I have no love for EA if all nick and dime was done like this I would have zero issue. Lootboxes and the like as well, if I can have a good experience on the game and the extra pay is just for extra clothing (as long as the already included is already good) and I don't need to pay for it to have a good game I'm fine with it.

What next? Companies start charging you for additional character saves? Oh wait, that happened already and as usual, fanboys tried to defend it.

I don't defend or even like ea much less am a fanboy of them. Still I'll repeat cosmetic nick anddime isn't an issue for me.
