I saw an news story on this. EA is playing the victim and not agreeing with the law. Basically saying they will give this time but it can't be helped that they are wrong and that they will continue to fight it. It is the Law of county, they can't choose to follow it and when not too. Another reason EA pisses me off.
This guy sounds annoying as hell in the video. No matter what he has to say, it's basically not worth listening to it.
EA's stock price has been falling, but it's bouncing back. So please, guys, stop buying their games. Teach them that gamers are not sheep for the slaughter. Teach them that gamers are their boss and they exist to serve us. If less people buy their games, in turn reducing their stock price to I don't know, 21USD maybe, they'd learn that their shouldn't stab hands that feed them. 21USD was their stock price back in 2001, when they were still "Challenge Everything" and not "Screw Everything" or "Evil Actually". Or maybe 12.99 back in 2012. As Evil Actually, now, their stock price is at 91.74USD. Even kicking it down to 50USD would make them panic.
Just don't play. It's that simple. Since Long ago, FIFA Ultimate Team has been pay to win.. not that kind of pay to win, but you can be waaay ahead of players that don't spend shit by buying cards with money. I don't know why this shit is still going on. Maybe unlike swbf 2 (2017), it benefits certain group of people, and not only EA. I don't know, i don't play FIFA Ultimate team.
There was someone who was curious how much they had spent on FIFA characters and had asked EA to send them records of how much they had spent. They got it, and it turned out to be several hundred dollars or euros atleast.
People should seriously stop buying EA's games in my opinion. After all, the only reasons why EA can continue its horrendous pay-to-win nonsense in its games are because that there are always people who continue to purchase its games and spend money on the microtransactions aspects of its games in the first place.
I buy one hockey game about every five or so years, and that's more because I have zero interest in shooters and 95% of the game I do like are single-player only. Well ... that and way too many games lack off-line multi-player, which is pretty much the only type of multiplayer I like.
