Bigred's Video Game Thread

No...you're not 'invested'. Just because you think Captain Picard is cool, doesn't mean you have to buy every Star Trek thingy that ever comes out. If it's something you will enjoy and it's affordable for you, then buy it and have a blast. If you're going to be miserable and frustrated over the number of transactions, or if you simply can't afford to have an enjoyable experience, then....DON'T BUY THE FUCKING GAME.

All EA games are going this route. Even NFS is now a lootbox infested grindfest. As long as no one complains, why should they change? Mobile pay structures in full price AAA games is where the AAA publishers want things to go.

So I was playing poker at a large casino on a busy saturday night. Some degenerate was at the table complaining that he really wanted to play blackjack, but every table in the house had a $25 minimum bet. "They really ought to have $15 tables so more people can play" he said. Every table in the house was packed. The house was doing fine. Why should they have to surrender at least $10/bet just so this ass-hole can join in? What do they owe him?

Same thing applies here. If BF is too expensive for you...DON'T PLAY IT. If it's not too expensive for you, and you're willing to pay, then you have just *justified* the price!!! So you forfeit any right to complain!

Strawmanning once again Banana.

If people are unhappy with the game, then the game won't sell very well. And maybe the game-makers will learn their lesson. But if the game does sell well, then obviously people weren't unhappy enough to complain with their pocketbooks.

It will always sell well Banana. It's star wars, for crying out loud. This is exactly what EA is banking on, which is why they loaded this game up with every despicable tactic they could think of.

If you would have actually read this post rather than strawmanning yourself ad nauseam you'd get a semblance of some sense as to what the actual problem is
