Can't wait to see the essay EDMIX types up to try and defend this 'analyst'.

I have boycotted games with Microtransactions, on-disc DLC and Loot boxes since mid-September. Literally my only gaming purchase for the past two months has been the Horizon Frozen Wilds expansion pack.
Oh look... thanks to the money I saved from games I would have purchased during the past two months if not for the microtransaction and loot box raping, I now have enough left over to get my own Switch with Super Mario Odyssey and essential accessories! Thanks a lot you gree...
'or too dumb to understand they are being screwed over with the same game different skin year after year; I.E. Madden/FIFA Ultimate team schemes.'
I wish there was an option on N4G to see the users who disagree with comments, just so I can see the (currently at time of typing) three brainwashed dumbbells who disagreed with that statement and put them on my 'dumbo' list.
'Makes me proud to be British, we don't bend over backwards for BS practices.'
Yet FIFA is allowed to lurk around, EA brainwashing football fans every year into buying/feeding into this half assed Ultimate Team cash cow, and all EA do every year is change sliders, update the roster (aka 'do something basic like copy soccermanager rosters') and kits, include gimmicks and keep the media hush hush away from the scam.
Open World 3D environments please (think = Horizon but with Pokemon in different environments and based on their Pokemon type. Add a variety of classic options including villages, towns, cities, caves, open sea etc, gyms, Pokemon centers, a casino, a Pokemon zoo, graveyard, bad guy headquarters, Elite gyms etc etc), so many options available to include in the game, and including every single region and Pokemon so far, and trading!. With a great story it would make it potentially the greatest ...

Or that Disney stepped in to ask EA about the bad reputation they almost put Star Wars in, this despite Disney giving the go ahead for a campaign that is now canon in the Star Wars universe (for those who don't know, the 'canon' status in the Star Wars universe is a huge deal, considering when Disney bought the Star Wars licence from George Lucas they deliberately scrapped tons of lore and universe building which was previously canon), and a month before the virtually guaranteed $...
Don't bother trying to reason with this member of EA Defence Force, obviously a shill trying to justify microtransactions, lootboxes and other stuff designed to fleece the wallets of gamers and exploit little kids who don't know better.
GAME has no chance, it's gone to the point where they are slapping a £5 nonrefundable deposit on every preorder and selling tat along with games, and obvious desperation with the monopoly on exclusivity. Their 'uninformed/casual' market is dwindling due to the competitiveness of online retailers and other Supermarkets (and shops like Smyths Toys emerging with great prices for games). GAME's online prices are slightly more reasonable though which is why I think they'll...
EA have been doing this crap with Fifa for YEARS, especially on Ultimate Team and the clear scripting manipulation in gameplay. It's just that the mainstream has clearly not bothered to expose it like with Star Wars (probably because almost everyone and their dog loves Star Wars and hates to see it get shafted like this, but with football who gives a damn about a game where players control mostly overpaid overrated primadonnas trying to kick a ball into a goal?). It has gone to the level ...

No, CoD and FIFA are the lynchpins of disgracefulness in the gaming industry and deserve more hate.

Same with FIFA, probably hush money floating around and using Star Wars Battlefront II as the distraction.
I would not be surprised if EA takes revenge for this fiasco by bending gamers over with Battlefield 5

MS hoping for a type of 'RRoD 2.0' sales boosting situation with the surge?
Yep, simple Kirchoff's law.
oh look it's 'thexboxhub', hey you anti gaming freedom website, welcome to my banned list!
Have an original model Xbox 360 which would eventually become a plastic doorstop after it gets RRoD? No thanks :)
