On the plus side, that's another 60 bucks I saved this holiday.

Remember when the biggest thing we had to worry about was missing out on some bullshit weapon skins if we didn't pre-order?

And EA gives zero fucks. The game will still sell more than CoD and double that with microtransactions.

It's not selling more than CoD lol

In fairness the comment does say they will be making "constant adjustments" and changes based on feedback. Judging by the amount of backlash they're getting and how this is going viral, it won't be very surprising to see the costs reduced or credits gained increased fairly soon.

Tbh I'd be totally down for lootboxes being declared as gambling or something and regulated. But I dont play AAA multiplayer games so not like it matters.

When Persona starts locking Black Frost and Hua Po in loot boxes I'll just quit gaming all together lol.

I don't see loot boxes ever being classified as gambling. There are way too many counter-arguments for that to stick.

You don't make money from it and you're always guaranteed that you'll get something means it's not gonna happen. Same reason buying a pack of trading cards isn't going to be considered gambling.

Can I give EA negative money? Can that be a thing?

Suing them might work kek.

But ultimately if the community wise up and boycotts products that they feel isn't worth it, not get suckered into a popular franchise or a flashy screen with barebones multi, they'd truly lose money.

lol what a fucking rube. I honestly hope he loses whatever income he gets that somehow allows him to do this shit.

Do you get anything of monetary value that you can go on to make money off of with loot boxes? If yes, its gambling. If not, its not.

Government places restrictions on businesses making a profit at the expense of people all the time.

I wasn't referring directly to you. Just more the sentiment on this board whenever regulation topics comes up.

I don't doubt the power of Reddit, especially when it comes to moral crusades, but I think bots are downvoting it. Just refreshing the page after a couple of minutes and it keeps shooting up by quite a bit. I talking about around 7 thousand votes in just a couple of minutes, and every time I refresh it's that much higher.

All Star Wars heroes in Battlefront 2 are either loot box drops or can be bought with exorbitant amounts of money?
