They absolutely are. HUGE company with a huge budget that sells lots and lots of video games.
It's not rude at all. You are constantly complaining and criticizing a game that you are very up front about "wont buy it and wont support it" without even playing it for yourself. That's like saying you hate Ferrari's because all they do is want your money and my Ford Pinto drives just fine. That's great - to each their own but you are constantly trying to tell me I am wrong because you saw a youtube video and I am actually playing the game telling you how it really is but you aren't listening.
Yes, the loot boxes can affect the gameplay. I am saying it's really not as big of a deal as you and many others are making it out to be and its easy to avoid. But you just want to keep complaining about it. We get it, you don't want anything to do with this game. So why sit here and just complain about it? You will never play it. You made your point. Congrats.
What does me playing the game have to do with anything? Just because I won’t play the game doesn’t mean I can’t spot anti-consumer policies when they’re there. I haven’t tried to tell you anything about your own opinion, because it’s your opinion. I’ve laid out facts as they’ve been presented to me, and I don’t need to play the game to trust in people who have. Just because you have had a different experience from the people I have heard from doesn’t mean that their experiences are less valid than yours.
All that being said, you can call me a complainer all you want. That’s not what I’m doing, but if you want to perceive my thoughts that way, then go ahead. I’m trying to let people know that this game is the first of its kind with this loot box system, and if gamers don’t buy this game at all then they are telling game developers & game producers that they won’t stand for this crap. We have to stop it before it starts, and this is the next evolution of microtransactions that’s about to take off. If it ends here, then we’ll all be better for it. You’ve constantly said you don’t like these practices put into place by EA, but you aren’t doing anything to let them know that, and in effect you are telling them that you are okay with their anti-consumer policies by actually buying this game.
While I see your point I'm not sure that's the whole of it. People buy this stuff when it's only cosmetic in Overwatch just as much as they buy it when it gives you an advantage in Hearthstone.
I can see where putting in a competitive edge can give people more of a manipulative, ******* incentive, and it certainly hurts game play.
Maybe.
Given EA's track record, I actually think they are more likely to have no idea what went wrong and shut down DICE.
Actually, yeah, that’s true. I wouldn’t be upset by that, though, given the amount of uninspired, unfinished, and microtransactions-fueled games that DICE has put out recently.
The most upsetting part of coming to that conclusion is realizing that Titanfall is going to go the same way as all of the other EA produced garbage out there. Which is a monumental shame, given how great Titanfall 2 is/was.
