So...why are people spazzing out about this comment exactly? Seems like a pretty run-of-the-mill saving face PR statement.
inb4 this becomes real.

i'm not saying they deserve the label, nor am i saying we should dislike them simply because they are disliked and were voted the worst company in america (i don't even understand how you could miscontrue my argument that badly but whatever)

https://nieuws.vtm.be/binnenland/onderzoek-naar-nieuw-star-wars-spelBelgian Gambling Commission (regulatory part of ministry of justice) has just launched an investigation into BF2 for its loot boxes and whether it constitutes a form of gambling. Watch this go to the ECJ and set an international precedent.
If it's a gameplay designer, I imagine you want people who are experienced with the series.Unlike say, Respawn "Hire people who hate Titanfall to make Titanfall" Industries.

They weren't crowned worst company in America because of a video game ending. They been doing shady shit for years, multiplayer passes were a huge part of that.

They weren't crowned worst company in America because of a video game ending. They been doing shady shit for years, multiplayer passes were a huge part of that.my original post was meant to convey that we should drop ea for the reasons people felt the need to vote against them. it made perfect sense to me at the time but i could see why the wording could fuck someone up.
The problem with dropping ea is they hold the licenses to a lot of fan favorites. If the past is any indicator they'll buckle under the pressure they receive from consumers and find some other way to fuck us over later.
Unfortunately you're not going to change things by not purchasing their games, they are going to make money one way or another.

EA won't hold the licenses if everyone dropped the publisher. QuoteUnfortunately you're not going to change things by not purchasing their games, they are going to make money one way or another.How do they make money if people don't buy their games? They can go the route of THQ for all I care.
