I opened the thread because I was certain that the title is wrong...EA tired of microtransactions? They are kings of microtransactions...


"Title is wrong...?"  I am Inigo Montoya. You insulted my thread.  Prepare to die.

No, they'll just overcharge you for the DLC/Season Pass :)

The one thing that would prove to me that they really care about consumers is if they were commited to delivering a notable amount of free DLC in a game like Star Wars which lacks content



Idk why console devs don't take a note from Dota 2's model.

Market for cosmetic items, free to play.

Sure EA, I'll believe you. But not today... tomorrow I will.

And all huge conglomerates tell the truth.



Well they are obviously talking about their mobile games, and, playing through Peggle Unlimited, I have not bought a single thing, and I've never felt the need to do so either, so I actually believe them here.

Why nickle and dime people when you can $5 and $10 them?


+1 Actually laughed out loud.

But yeah that €50 season pass tho, with no info about what it contains? or the Fifa packs for more and completely down to luck if you get anything worth your cash... what am I saying nothing in a game is worth pumping hundreds more dollars into really but those packs are just insane.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

They don't want to nickel and dime you, so they will only charge you in round dollars.

They haven't said they won't do moicrotransactions, they just seem to be realising that should use microtransactions in a way that doesn't piss off too many people. I think microtransactions in full priced retail games for things that actually give a gameplay advantage is daylight robbery.
