actually, now that i think about it, they wouldn't really be able to do this fr (since microtransactions are considered a crime in certain countries and they're pushing for it to be straight up banned in the uk. they already got in trouble for this in the past, so i'd assume that they wouldn't want to do it again
Your comment reminded me of when Sims 3 was giving way to Sims 4 and people started complaining about the cartoonist look, etc. and EA responding that if Sims 4 dis not sell there would not be a Sims 5?
Do they not play cs go on uk? They do and they pay for skins and chests ect.. It's the same thing really .actually, now that i think about it, they wouldn't really be able to do this fr (since microtransactions are considered a crime in certain countries and they're pushing for it to be straight up banned in the uk. they already got in trouble for this in the past, so i'd assume that they wouldn't want to do it again

You're right... Not to mention EA is getting spanked real hard over loot boxes in FIFA and other titles. If Great Britain bans loot boxes because they consider them gambling, it won't take much for other countries to do the same. If EA tries it with the sims, it will be the end of the franchise, and likely EA.actually, now that i think about it, they wouldn't really be able to do this fr (since microtransactions are considered a crime in certain countries and they're pushing for it to be straight up banned in the uk. they already got in trouble for this in the past, so i'd assume that they wouldn't want to do it again
Anyone who wastes that kind of money on transportation deserves to be taken to the cleaners lol.
You said it your self "they consider them gambling" But in game stores for products are not like that. No law can stop that otherwise all modders will be considered illegal, same as any online dlc sales. If the sell you a "nike shoes" pack in game sponsored by nike or whatever who and how are they gonna block it???
I was talking about loot boxes... Loot boxes are specifically designed for you to do the "just one more" bit. People have emptied bank accounts just to get the right players and gear. It has to stop someplace. And if a country felt it necessary to regulate in game sales for whatever reason, they certainly could.
Now I see your point. I just imagined a TS3 or TS4 style game but some online connection would be mandatory for piracy protection. I didn't give any thought to multiplayer, that would be a hassle. Probably just easier to disable it for online play, but that might kill their sales if people can't mod the singleplayer game. Anyway, food for thought. Thanks for clearing it up for me, I wasn't sure where you were going with your argument originally. Now I understand completely
Lol EA is not going anywhere anytime soon. They making net BILLIONS a year. You will have plenty of time to continue hating on them. If micro transactions goes away it will hurt everyone not just EA, and EA has the reserves to buy most of them out.
Dumbasses pay for games that attract the lowest bidder and EA is the king of lowest bidders.
Here u go
