Apparently people now need to call EA manually if they want to refund their preorder.
Hopefully this turns more people off preordering. ... Copied to Clipboard!

shipwreckers posted...I'm just glad to see EA finally get publicly humiliated for their excessive greed. Bots or no bots, it's very apparent that there's a whole mess of deepseated bitterness within the community against this company (built up long before BF2) that finally came to a head in glorious fashion. Not at all. That's my point. This rage has been simmering within gaming community for a long time, and all it takes is little sparks to make big explosions. This is probably the biggest explosion I've seen since that "worst company" poll, and I'm anxious to see what the next explosion will be. --- Money is overrated... ... Copied to Clipboard!

People will always buy EA's stuff, not because of EA, but because of the stuff. Dice is a good developer, and BattleFront is a huge IP. The silver lining is that the more people can keep EA's PR in the crapper, the more likely they'll be to make better decisions (or reverse bad ones) because NO COMPANY WANTS BAD PR.
The same thing happened when Xbox One was about to launch and their batshit DRM / Online policies were reversed. The whole "vote with your dollar" thing rarely actually works, but a little bad PR can go a long way. --- Money is overrated... ... Copied to Clipboard!

With the Xbox One announcement the PR was so bad it became about losing money though... hence MS certainly being third to PS4 and Switch. Its pretty sad, as Xbox brand was my favourite and now its basically just there, with less games, all of which are on PC or PS4 too. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ...

What bums me out is that we watched them kill Maxis, Bioware Montreal, Black Box, Pandemic, and Visceral, and a handful of other studios.
Now they have their tentacles around Respawn... Titanfall 2 wasn't perfect, but it was enjoyable. I shudder to think what EA's influence will have on Titanfall 3... And how long before Respawn is shut down? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

So apparently they wished they would've put these kind of microtransactions in Battlefield 4 due to how popular it was. It could take over 4000 hours or $2000 to unlock everything in the game. And apparently they limit how many credits you earn when playing Arcade mode. I'm not sure if a similar system is in place with other game modes...

Honestly of all the gaming sites that are still alive, Kotaku is the one I tend to hear the best positive stories from. That may just be because they're the biggest (not sure if that's the case) and I don't have to sift through all their crap since I hear about it second hand.

The "EA employee" who received death threats doesn't actually work for EA. It certainly isn't uncommon for employees to post highly opinionated / poorly-written stuff on their personal pages.
