They are removing it to add a different form of microtransactions. DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS PEOPLE!!!!!
fartboxtonguepunch
yeah, I'm gonna wait a year or two and try to find some used copy, if and only if, they fix all this bullshit
goboltz
Released Today, Go check tomorrow . . lol
AntzInMyEyezJohnson
You all keep complaining, yet every game EA puts out you jump on them and buy them all up. When will you learn?
iamalreadyaghost
I haven’t purchased an EA game in years. I see EA I go without
JackOfPizzas
FUCK EA! Just because they remove something shit doesn't mean you automatically go back to being their loyal customer. Keep the Boycott!
ThePotatoBandit
Wasn't gonna buy it anyway. When I have free time I'm usually tired so I play cuphead to get some more enegry from pure blind rage.
compugreg
Game is violently brutal. Rage quit on the first island, then went back days later and beat it, then rage quit on the second island.
AnonMasterRace
Considering all they did was remove the micros... Why is this even a big deal? You still need to grind for the next century.
NEOspookY
I really don't get why it's so fucking hard for some people to Not buy shit games
that1gvy
For Now, they have even stated this is temporary they fully intend for it to be re-enabled soon.
DrShrinker
If they put it back in for Cosmetic items only, i don't see a problem with that. however i don't put anything past EA.
zipsline4
iwillforgetmypw
What the fuck is this devil shit?
SpeckledOne
What the actual fuck is happening here?
BoopedYourSnoot
How are you gonna share that with no context? The hell was that, napalm?

Keeperofthe7keys
And yet people still pay them, so I'll happily watch this be repeated every hour until we get somewhere.
ThunderChief00
Removing it until enough people have been sucked in.
shinagami091
They’ll probably add it back once the period for a refund expires.
KlaatuVaradaNicto
DON'T FALL FOR IT! They are doing this to try and save day 1 sales. They will put it back in and fuck you. Just DON'T BUY IT! PERIOD.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
The corporate bottom line is easily startled but it'll be back and in greater numbers

It's a removal for the first few weeks when the most sales happens. Also I guess they want good sales for the ending quartal.
gamesthatiplay
Its more about collecting upvotes for anti EA messages. That's the new game.
anotherdickat
Don't buy it.
TacosandTahoe
We have to stay strong!!! And yes its about the message!!!!
TheEvenPrez
Give em 3 or 4 games and we'll be back at this level. They're gonna boil that frog slowly now.
lurkornah
EA- extreme assholes
FlipSiding
Not exactly they are just not letting you buy it for now. But they said they are planning on putting it back in "revised"
ScaryScarab
Hopefully to remove the P2W shit.
Threewisemen
Naw, fuck them. Let them butt fuck their customers so hard that maybe they learn this time.
eldorel
While I appreciate optimism, there's NO way that the shareholders are going to just drop that cash cow without repeated negative reactions.
ScaryScarab
I know- but one can hope. In a perfect world I'd remove loot boxes all together, so i just hope it's all cosmetics or w/e tf else they want.
thegreatheed
I wouldn't. If cosmetic loot boxes can stay in the game to fund free DLCs, that's a win for gamers.
fisklukt
I wouldn't play it for free. All EA products are haram.
rsolgtp77
dont buy anything till they release delux paint 6!!
droptop
Keeperofthe7keys
Not relevant since they are at this point far from dead much less changing their policy at all.
therealbowser
Until EA is no longer a corporation or they clean up their act, the horse is very much alive. You can support the if you want to, though.
SirSmurfalot
Not dead yet. The only fucking thing those greedy bastards understand is money, so as long as they are making any money at all, not over.
Davredz
Tbf don't most games have sections where you can buy stuff.
iamalreadyaghost
Yes but EA makes games just to take money. EA drops servers after the game becomes non profitable so ppl won’t get to the hours needed
SexyPalpatine
They will add them again
Cardini
Username checks out.
jasta6
They'll be back, and in greater numbers.
Thelrishlnquistion
Absolutely perfect use of that.
MisterSixer
Nice
Humandisinterest
I know it's fashionable to continue the barrage of criticism but they have responded to feedback, apologised, and done what we wanted. 1/
SexyPalpatine
You don't understand right? They will add them again they are just trying to do it in a way that less affects the game they missed the point
ITradeNewds
Hey EA, how's those sales numbers looking?
Humandisinterest
It would be a pr disaster to reintroduce p2w loot crates. The reintroduction of loot crates will be for cosmetics and emotes. 2/
Humandisinterest
Well, gotta go and play the game, which is awesome. 3/3
Saustino
I hope you're right.
sahdad
Wouldnt buying it after making changes based on consumer demand send a message?
Sledgewolf1
No, it would show EA that they can say or do anything and people will trust them. They said in the press release it was temporary
sahdad
Oh I see.
djml9
Its temporary, while they completely revise the progression system. People are acting like theyre not actually gonna change anything.
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
It's like EA has an untrustworthy reputation after decades of abusive practices, or something.
djml9
Theyre track record is completely blown out of proportion. They may not have been consumer first, but theyre not as bad as people act.
Sasuuni
While they "adjust, balance and tune" they didn't say they were going to completely revise it. It's kind of a non answer as too little info
djml9
And there wasnt info cause they dont have a plan i place yet. It will be an ongoing dialogue with the players.
djml9
Adjusting, balancing, and tuning are all a part of the revision process. Revise doesn’t mean “redo from scratch”
prfesser
People, DON'T BUY EA! EA has been doing shit for at least 29 years. They fucked me in 1988 when I bought a word processor for an (1)
prfesser
Apple computer and it DID NOT WORK! Would not print a document, didn't do the enhancements it said were available. Wrote a letter to (2)
prfesser
Compute magazine describing the problem, they published it. EA offered me a free game; would not refund money for a shit product. (3/3)
Xecryo
That's when you go "I don't want a game I want a word processor. And since your product didn't deliver what was promised, you will refund>
Xecryo
ManWithJob
Wow dude that's a long time to hold a grudge....lol
Sgtstinkfinger
'but prfesser never forgave... And he never forgot.'
Fl0zilla
I'm assuming he's never used spell checker either because of the ptsd from this ordeal
zippydee
+1 for holding a 29 year grudge against EA
Varmekorre
The great book of grudges
sideshowbobisntmyusername
29 years
dietderpsy
OP is like the Inspector Javert of the gaming world.
Threewisemen
Well a printer in 1988 cost like a year's salary so......
Khrome
um. #metoo
Ewanator
It's still only a temporary removal.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
Temporary up till the retards on the fence go buy it and EA's investors are happy.
Foxhound621
I heard cosmetic items are due to replace the cards in crates, data mining shows lots of custom armor designs just sitting unused
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
They'll turn it back on once the launch window/holiday sale season is over. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
Mango03
They did not remove the micro transaction ever from what I’ve seen. Been playing since Tuesday and they are still in game
VoidofStatic
The ol bait and switch.
Sledgewolf1
Today is November 17th I wonder why they would "remove them".hmmm, when is black Friday again?
purple0king
I think they're scheduled to come back Dec 26. No sources and hopefully it's a joke.
isthishowyoudothis
Of course they're gonna bring them back, they're EA! Just don't buy the game
MesserAuditore
Until they "fix" the system. I get the feeling I know which definition of "fix" they were using.
fredthebadger
Their definition of "Fix" is "You can't easily tell who paid anymore because some people who didn't have the toptier stuff"
AltEff4
If it's like what they have in Battlefield 1, just skins and stuff, I don't really mind. It was the pay instead of grind thing that irked me
DecapitatedJizzWizard
Skins and stuff are the grooming process. It will never EVER end with just skins and stuff. Ztoo supporting micro tranactions in games
DecapitatedJizzWizard
Stop*
AltEff4
For me, I have 200+ hrs in bf1, with 0 micros, and I haven't been hindered. Personally, I'm ok with that particular model.
MrHumberfloob
Temporary right up until everyone hits the grind wall..
largebear
My friend manages to somehow unlock half of the heroea already, so they may lose a tiny bit of money after all even if they bring them back.
OhPieceOfCandy
Right until everyone has passed the refund period deadline*
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
"Players wanted a faster way to level up, so we listened and came up with a solution!"
MadMerlyn
You can buy a random loot crate for $4.99, or you can unlock everything in the game for a 1 time payment of $299!
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
I thought I read somewhere, to unlock everything would be $2100
SuperLudo
That was a rough third party estimate based on buying loot crates with rng drops.
Boom9001
They said they plan to fix the system. If the system is fixed to what we wanted buying g the game is fine. Shows we support good practices.
ITalkAboutGoats
You misunderstood "fix" in this sentence. /s
Boom9001
Only if you want the game though. Not that you should buy a game just because of good monetization practices.
DecapitatedJizzWizard
Remove them that is the only fix. Stop being a cancer and giving companies that nickle and dime us money you turd.
IAlwaysUpvoteSexy
Just because someone is okay with a form of monetization you don't like... they're a cancer and turd?
DecapitatedJizzWizard
No one that supports a obvious grooming tactic is a cancer. It woild never have gotten this far if you idiots wouldnt accept it the 1st time
IAlwaysUpvoteSexy
I tried deciphering this, but your first sentence does not support your second sentence. Anywho, you really need a hobby if you torment
Boom9001
I haven't and I'm not holding my breath it will be good. But not all MTX are bad.
SnappleCactus
No, just 99% of them
Boom9001
RL, Overwatch, LoL, and more have cosmetic only mtx that fund competitive gaming and made it what it is. Most of the biggest games out now
