People who fall for this deserve it.
Shit this reminds me that I need to change my oil this weekend. Maybe I could pay EA a thousand dollars to do it for me.

Remember when we all rose in revolt over having to pay to play our consoles online? We *baaaaaa* learned them!
My brother spends £50 per month on coins for FIFA 13.








My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Might have an addiction worse than WoW.
Watched IGN review and thought was funny.
At one time he goes, the tracks don't look as impressive as the cars do graphically, but at speeds over 200 mph you don't really care. Funny thing is, the whole video I stared at the speed of his car and not once did I see a speed over like 150 mph.

He meant km/h! Which after typing into Google looks like 150 mph is 241 km/h
But it will be accepted
You know why?Cause a lot more people START with gaming and don't know it better than quitting/refusing to accept this.
Microtransactions/F2P can be a good thing if done right.
League of Legends,Planetside 2,Path of Exile,Ultimate Team in the Fifa Franchise(EA) and a few others show how it is a safe deal and how they can make so much money with it.
You have to give the people a choice - If you can get the stuff with playing or/and buying most people of the community will chose at some point buying it with Real Money.
League of Legends with the champions...Path of Exile with the colours for armor...Fifa with the card packages in the Ultimate team etc
Either its ingame stuff you can aquire over time through playing the game or crap no one cares for like colours.
As long as it is an option you don't have to chose cause there is still the option to just play the game people will accept and invest in that.

Sadly EA is the company that has the best propability of surviving anything that is ahead of us.
