I expected no less from EA..not only there´s that story about games costing $70, now all microtransactions in all their games.

Big fuck you to EA.

This should make the collapse of EA go so much faster. Thanks EA!

glad i passed on DS3 didnt know it had micro transactions. I dont think this is good news for EA. If this is the only way they can survive than they are on their way out. Micro transactions wont last long with gamers, they will see it pay to win and eventually move on as it will devalue the experience they get from a game knowing it can just bought to win.

Or, if they get away with it, you can cry that so many gamers bend over so easily.
