The people making these decisions listen to shareholders, not Reddit. If you affect that you may see change, but the whole industry is chasing the extended revenue model that has made billions for companies in the past and present. |
Yep. I know at least 3 people who will easily end up dropping 200 bucks or more on this game. They'll complain about it as they do, but they'll do it nevertheless.
That said, EA and the rest of these publishers banking so heavily on monetizing everything in their games should tread very carefully, because at the rate they're going, they are going to eventually surpass the threshold for what their general audience is willing to tolerate. Once you cross that line, and perhaps we're starting to see it now, you can only burn so much good will, before you do actually start losing money, and thing is....a loyal customer will be loyal for a long time, you can get away with a lot while you have that loyalty, but once you lose it, it's really hard to get back.
