I guess game breaking bugs are just "undocumented difficulty enhancements" too.

What isn't a surprise: EA making an arse out of themselves.

I feel like it's going to take gamers banding together and boycotting these motherfrickers for them to make sincere changes.

It's not rape, it's "surprise sex"

The “quite ethical” part of this is some of the biggest bullshite I’ve ever heard

Put $10 in this slot machine and pull the lever, what happens next is a surprise!
Totally not gambling.

I don't see anything wrong with what they're doing.

I think loot boxes are fine, if they're purely cosmetics. If they're a required purchase to remain competitive, that's pretty shitty.

I don't pay attention to it anymore, but how many loot box systems are actually pay-to-win nowadays? I figured with all the backlash that has gotten, developers are going to stick to cosmetics.

This should not be tolerated either.

Who cares about cosmetics? If someone wants to spend money on a new dance and they know what they're buying, why should I give a shite?

Games with cosmetic microtransactions usually have garbage art design/choice for cosmetics earned from gameplay.

My God I feel sorry for the poor writers at the Onion and other satire publications. You spend a couple of days coming up with a good joke and then an actual press release comes along that is far more over the top.

What will the loot box streamers do, besides suicide?
Many of them, that's their money maker, people watching them unpack and play, sell, buy,etc.
castro could really be screwed, he is top dog for fifa, and fifa points for packs, are his bread and butter. He spends a ton on them to get views and donations.

I can’t believe that EA got to make ANOTHER Star Wars game.
