People forget, but FIFA has had it for a long time. Instead of boxes it's boosters in ultimate team.

Anyways, people are finally realizing they are beeing scammed. This could be reverted if Shadow of war were to flop massively. AKA if we all boycotted it.
The thing is, there must be point where the consumer needs to send a clear NO message with their wallets. If it doesn't happen greed will keep pushing.

For everybody pointing to Fifa: It's limited to a mode in the game. You can perfectly enjoy Fifa without spending any money besides the price of the game. I, for example, never ever play Ultimate Team.

You can perfectly enjoy any of these games in limited forms if you don't pay. That is the point isn't it? We didn't use to have to pay extra beyond the money we just handed to buy the game.

Not to mention these things are gambling and should be taxed. I just don't get why governments aren't all over that. 

 

Theres 2 ways of fixing the situation. Either govs tax it like gambling and will at least de-incentivate it, or gamers boycott the games that do it.
