lol Reddit is so dumb. a bunch of whiners who preorder and buy the game anyway and just come to complain time and time again. EA doesn't give two fucks because everyone buys the game anyway.
I don't believe for a second that the launch-day pricing scheme was an error in valuation. it was just a classic negotiation tactic of Anchoring and they're playing the base like a fucking fiddle by "lowering" the cost (while lowering the reward system) so everyone grudgingly gets what they want with a phantom "win".
Buy Titanfall instead of the mediocre battlefield series

Except EA just bought Respawn, so good luck with Titanfall 3.
this is certainly one way of looking at it.
the post I linked to discussed a possible psychological rationale for people spending money on loot crates, so yeah.
you're not concerned that some of the games you've enjoyed and paid for are beginning to introduce micro-transactions, or are/have always been functionally structured around their consumption?
EA published both Titanfall and Titanfall 2, no?
no, Respawn was purchased just this month by EA
No, I understand that Respawn was the developer, but I'm 99% sure that EA published both games.
they did, but that's not unusual. My point was support IPs that don't do the things you hate. Like you said, Blizzard vs EA, guys.

Are you implying that Blizzard doesn't push microtransactions?

sure. that's fine. I guess I buy the spectrum approach. if you're going to nuance the discussion, though - it may help to understand that EA isn't even the worst offender. 2k's most recent games have driven the whole thing off a cliff. they're charging people to buy a free-to-play game.
