At least it's a touch screen system... wait, where is the stylus? wtf? no touch Or controller???

If EA was smart they would operate like Valve. Valve has been milking peeps like a pro for years and peeps love it. Sell hats and signatures

Just don't buy it. That's the only way ea will learn.

I have already not bought it!

Hah, I get it, it's a joke. I can tell it's not real because there's "refund" there, whereas they removed that on Origin for 2017BF2.

You guys are complaining too much about this. It's a video game, play something else.

But only the SALE button works. You have to call a 1-900 number and wait in the cue for refunds.

Ok. I did laugh. Well done.

you can download the game early, not play it but its ready so its, like 1st in

TBH I pre ordered Vermintide 2. It was cheaper to do so and I have faith Fatshark won't fist me for doing so. 100% fuck EA though.

Never stop making fun of them- drive them into the ground as an example to others
Newthoenikker
A common neckbeard strat that does nothing but further fuel nerd rage
girafficdesign
You clearly don’t understand how PR works. You know EA employs dozens of people whose sole job is to monitor EA’s social media presence?
Newthoenikker
And? What will they monitor? People screeching in rage today and still going out to preorder BF3? They're laughing and counting their money
girafficdesign
The more notorious EA becomes for this shit the more they’ll have to listen. Their company issues are literally becoming memes.
Newthoenikker
Memes are serious business. People will definitely take you seriously if you make memes
Helihat
So your solution to being angry about it is to demean anyone trying to find a solution, so you can continue to be angry. Sounds productive!
Newthoenikker
I found a solution for them: don't preorder or buy EA games. Wow, that sure was an easy solution to find

Refund button is dlc

I think it's hilarious they removed the refund button.

Or you can unlock it after 40 play hours.

That's just some debug code, not an intended feature.

After you have made/'grinded' a 1000 dollars of purchases.

For $2.99 you can buy a box with a chance to be one of the lucky players to unlock the l. You might also get one of the other great prizes!

EA's other response to all this outrage
Kaitou
What's the difference between EA charging and phone games like FGO, Fire Emb, where people spend hundreds of dollars on shit?
Soulsaretoomainstream
I think part of the problem is that you still pay $60 up front for it. And its not even a complete game. Mobile games are usually free.
Kaitou
I mean $60 for a game that cost much more to develop vs turn-based phone games, where DLC would cost at most $50 more, whereas $100s on FGO.
kazamatenkai
could you guys explain to me what happened?
Slapthefatcat
EA put out a full price title in which the main way to get the heroes is to grind 40+ hours for each one, or to pay for them. Then they 1/
Slapthefatcat
commented on the backlash that the grind is worth it for the "achievement" and "sense of accomplishment." They have since lowered the 2/
Slapthefatcat
amount needed for getting the achievement, but not enough to quell the hate. 3/3
kazamatenkai
Thanks for the explanation.
simplehungarian
Can someone tell me what is going on? I missed the origin of EA roasting :(
comfyHat
Nice origin pun... I think it's about the EA Battlefront 2 loot boxes. they built an entire progression system out of paid random drops.
SisterSinister
In a full price title.
TacticalSpoon
Reddit complained about how long it takes to unlock Vader in BF2, EA's response was that the grind should give you a sense of accomplishment
FirstThingThatCameToMind
And it takes an average of 40 hours of gameplay to unlock one hero without paying
TacticalSpoon
Said grind can be alleviated by paid loot boxes. The response was easily the most downvoted thing on reddit by orders of magnitude.
Foxxeface
Highest downvote reddit record seems to be around 28k, EA response coming up on 680k, EA locked the thread, lowered achievement cost but
Foxxeface
Also lowered amount received for achievement, doing yet another greedy bs bait/switch. Reports that they are also sabotaging refund requests
PepperPeanutsVagenis
They seem to be very unapologetic about the whole thing.

Pulsar07
The backlash might be more extreme than anticipated. But they take it into account when calculating how they're going to screw people over.
LeightonSlanga
You have to acknowledge you actually did something wrong in order to be apologetic.
IspellBananasbysingingGwenStefani
Seem unapologetic? They discounted the characters by 75% then reduced the rate you earned points by 75% and act like they "listened"
IspellBananasbysingingGwenStefani
Oh and they just removed the refund button off their website
PepperPeanutsVagenis
That sounds more like damage control than apologetic.
IspellBananasbysingingGwenStefani
That's the thing is they literally changed nothing. When you reduce the cost and the rate you acquire points by the same rate nothing change
PepperPeanutsVagenis
LOL. Fucking lame
IMKARLKINGOFTHEDUCKS
Why should they be? They’ve always done this and this is the first real backlash they’ve faced.

So many people are probably still gonna buy there products that none of this will matter anyways
