The biggest trees catch the most wind, nothing surprising here and neither is the comment really that bad, just the usual "we obviously can not admit that we want to make as much money as possible so here is an excuse". My advice? Stop paying for games that have lootboxes and paying for lootboxes themselves even if the game is free. Even if law does not necessarily recognize it as gambling since it is designed to circumvent such traditional laws and find loop holes, common sense should still tell one that in fact it is gambling and indeed, not for minors. Heck, it is not even for anyone who obviously gets addicted to the "pride and accomplishment" which many gamblers and Gamers indeed feel when being lucky.
I stopped playing consoles way back in childhood, but still, this must be one of a hell of achievement to be remembered by console players for gaming eras.
I wonder if the person who wrote this didn't get fired after posting this bs... Or maybe they just plain don't care..?
tried a VPN by any chance? Here's the quote : " The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes. As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay. We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets. Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can. "
Getting in the Guinness Book of World Records will provide EA with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
