I dont have any issue paying more if the content is worth it.  the BOTW DLC was fine, Destiny DLC is fine, GTA online...  etc, etc,,,  Loot boxes are not fine.  

In general the shooters for October/November seem disappointing. I was planning to pick up Wolfenstein 2, CoD WW2, and Battlefront 2 possibly, but all of them have got so much criticism that I don't know if I should pick up even one. Even Wolfenstein 2, which should have been in the bag for one of the best games of the year, has problems up it's ass.

Wolfenstein 2 is incredible. 

Preorders for games aren’t necessary anymore. There is always tons of copies in stores. 

We can't though, that's mainly due to the ever large casual audience out there, that simply doesn't care about what MT's are in their game, let alone what business tactics said company implements into their games. The casual audience hasn't raised an eyebrow at those mobile storefronts for years, and I imagine them doing the same for loot boxes in AAA games.

The hardcore dedicated van tell a good practice from a bad one, they care about the game and the company, but the casual audience just doesn't care as much as the dedicated do. At the end of the day, they just come home from work, pop the disk in and start playing.

Doesn't matter to EA if the rest is going to buy them instead to get around that grinding. Because that's what the long grinds actually intends to to do, to push the players into spending even more cash.

I was interested and I loved the beta but i dont want to pay 70 for a pay2win game

EA continues to dig their own grave. Reddit is in an uproar and EA is fighting instead of apologizing.

Yeah, it's insane that you need that time to unlock characters, but I can't say I'm surprised. I won't buy anything from EA, can't support its shitty behaviour.

Lmao good job EA. Not like it matters though. They'll still make bank
