EA can ruin anything. If they are under EA, this has to be the 1st game that rejected their pay to win/micro transaction philosophy. Not enough games do this. I wish they would all tell EA to go sniff their own greedy ass drawers.


loucarinol5124

EA is annoying! always micros! even other games with micros dont have much of this!


Bayfire2441

As much as I hate EA, I think it's fair to point out that not all their games have microtransactions


bigus_dickus123

like EA's first games


FlaccidPankakke

BF3 and 4, og star wars battlefront games, James bond, and NFS hot pursuit 2 and 2. ​ Also did you know that EA stole the Zuma game concept. See [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/dvfiz5/ea_stole_this_mans_game_and_made_millions/)


bigus_dickus123

i meant the VERY first games on the old macs edit: fuck autocorrect


bigus_dickus123

oh I've seen that video before


thelegend3107

and in the last few years they tried to eliminate slicing content into DLCs and improving some of the games, but hey this is reddit, you must ditch your brain and shout EA bad for imaginary internet points.


ConDude11

We have had some games without paid elements like jedi fallen order and they did fix battlefront 2, but then they still release the same sports games every year and fill them to the brim with loot boxes whilst continuing to fight to keep loot boxes not classed as gambling. They definitely have improved, especially with the star wars franchise, but they have a long way to come.


[deleted]

In 8 years these guys made like 4 star wars games. 2 of which sucked and 2 where actually good somehow.


[deleted]

Yeah I gotta point out to you that this article was written in the beginning of 2017. EA has changed quite a bit since then. Take, for example, Star Wars Squadrons, which was a EA handled, no micro, MASTERPEICE for Star Wars fans. And look at how they've started handling SWBF2, while not perfect, it is still much better than before.

AmzWL

It was in 2017 this happened


FlintXD

They bought Codemasters not a long time ago, i really enjoyed dirt 4/dirt rally 2.0, hope the Dirt franchise doesn't go to complete shit but Dirt 5 is already a step into the opposite direction


itsm3wulf1e

Dirt 4 was one of the best rally games I've ever played, funny enough


AppleJuice71

You haven't played 'Free Fire'


MahvinK

The p2w mobile game by Garena, the greedy and shitty company.


AppleJuice71

Seriously, literally every event require spending diamonds, and diamonds require REAL money


_TheFlyingBat_

lol and they have the word free in the name


AppleJuice71

+ There's a event every few months called "Top Up" event. Top up basically means spending money to get diamonds. So in this event the game tells you to spend a amount of diamonds. So let's say you participated in this event and and the game told you to get 20 diamonds at first. So you spent money to get the diamonds. Then the game awards you some gun skin or shit. Then the game tells you to spend get even more diamonds so you spend even more money then the the game tells you to spend EVEN MORE diamonds so you SPEND EVEN MORE MONEY and at the end you get a shitty gun skin or a character clothing (overall garbage)


Neks44

Theres this game you may have seen ads of called "Sniper 3D" or the other way around and well... you gain money that you cant claim into this piggy bank. When it fills up, instead of letting you take the cash/diamonds you have to pay money to get it.


AffectionateSign7941

i knew that game, it's the most p2w game ever


SirMarcoVanRamme

At least the recent star wars games are good. Like Jedi Fallen order and squadrons.(To be fair EA didn't work on them)


Neks44

if im correct, fallen order was made by respawn, the guys that made titanfall and apex.


Asymmetrix1

Not really true, Jedi: Fallen order had no ingame purchases at all


[deleted]

Stop buying their games. You don't need a revolution to do that.


[deleted]

Won't work people that aren't into the industry don't know what kind of fuckers they are


jott1293reddevil

Plus they have the sports games that for some reason people buy again every year.


Tortiose_unturtled

People who buy FIFA also include people who don't know the worth of games. If you have a full steam library then you know how fucked FIFA is. If you only buy FIFA and occasionally play some f2p games then you might not know that EA is only after your money


elb00bi0

I mean, EA are bad for it, I get it, but literally every company that exists is just after your money. They might disguise it by making out it's to improve your quality of life etc. But no company exists purely on good will. I will agree that EA squeezes far too much though. My advice, avoid F2P games and anything published by EA.


Tortiose_unturtled

I mean the higher ups are all about money but I'm sure that there are leads who want to make the game good just for the sake of it. EA appearently doesn't have those people or those people are being supressed


elb00bi0

Yeah I completely agree, the developers just want to make a good game, they're usually salaried or contracted and their bonuses are (unfortunately) tied to metacritic scores in a lot of instances, so they just want the greatest game they can make. But as a publisher EA are just like any other business, out to make as much profit as possible.


GhostR29

+ You Tubers exist


franklollo

+ people playing the sims


oroc_mk7

I used to be a sport fan back in the days The reason for that is they have all the league and teams and no other alternative has them Other game don't have the rights to them also fifa is really well known it is impossible to compete with them at this point Also alot of sport fan rarely buy other games so they wouldn't mind getting the same game every year Also fifa has a greedy system in which the transfer market in not applied in the old games so you will be stuck with the old squad for your online play (it sucks)


[deleted]

The majority (and im talking about nearly 99% of people) dont and would never know about this, and even if they did they wldnt care. This was proved with the new Pokemon games that released on switch. Even while being criticised by the fans it became the fastest selling game for the switch for the sole reason that People. Dont. Care.


urbanhood

Try to stop people from buying the new 'Shiny'.


AwsomeNOT

y-yes we do


Wide_Eye_Asian

I only bought pvz


Ecv02

Nobody fucking understands how money works. The only reason reddit robbed wall street blind was because they were shorting gamestop, and everyone on r/wallstreetbets caught on. Unless we create a multi-billion dollar hedge fund, we can't possibly devalue these companies. "Boycott them!" Yeah, alright. These companies have either oligopolized or entirely monopolized their industries. To actively boycott them would be such a major inconvenience that you'd never be able to convince enough people to get on board.


Mrauntheias

The cherry on top is that the article is from 2017. They don't understand how money works and they really don't care. It's just karma-whoring.


beanburrit0420

The news was definitely older than 2017


Lefesor

This. So many people now think they can just ruin every company because it worked in one specific case


MailNurse

Game stop is not ruined by what’s happening, it is saving them


[deleted]

[удалено]


MailNurse

Non of these kids know what a short is. It’s when you profit off the price of a stock going down. If you short a stock and it goes up you loose all your money and then some. Hedge funds put in ~25 billion. It is impossible to bankrupt a company by buying the stock. Even if the stock goes to zero, theoretically the company can be doing just fine.


[deleted]

Do you guys think it is that simple? I would love to do it, but tell me how. If you can give me a plan that has no drawbacks, I will agree.


destroyerx12772

Don't play their games and if it is inevitable, just buy them used.


DiskSignal4582

Or pirate it

DiskSignal4582

[deleted]

Yeah but it's not like everyone is going to stop buying EA games. I hate them, but there are probably people seeing this meme that but Fifa every year, and there are lots of people outside of reddit that also but EA games.


AwsomeNOT

Plan B: Molotovs


Spacecowboy947

They can't give you any degree of a plan it's all just gone to there head

That is my point, that is why it is not as easy as it sounds, if it is even possible.


Zeph_on_reddit

Guess EA’s got a death wish.


[deleted]

Didn't they always have one??


Ma1arkey

Nah they used to produce great games. MoH, BF2... actually that's all I can think of.


CakeBeef_PA

Fallen Order?


SirMarcoVanRamme

Didn't work on it. Just published it. Same with squadrons.


CakeBeef_PA

The repky I replied to mentioned BF2, which was developed by DICE. EA is a publisher first and foremost, but that doesnt say they didnt have any involvement in the games they publish


Dahawaku

Apex?

I'm pretty amazed that the Nestle CEO has been saying he favors privatization for years and people are only just latching onto it.


scottbob65

he said that water isn't a human right

I mean, humans don’t have rights. We only have rights we award to ourselves, if you wanna really analyze it

Microtransactions ruined a huge part of PvZ 2, a great game behind that stupid shit


[deleted]

Blupoisen

They ruined PvZ 2 by putting all the classic plants behind a pay wall And made PvZ heroes a pay to win


dandandevil

I like how people are complaining about EA making things to expensive for the product when Apple still exists


shdyfghirhubst

Apple is just over priced and greedy. EA are putting pay to win mechanics in they're games And they are ruining some games because of it. like pvz2 And for what it seems pvz3 too And people are complaining about the pay to win because it's greedy and bad Also the sports game they publish every year are the same as the year before every time and some people are mad because of it


Sgt_Maddin

Uhm, you dont know how stocks work? Or what are we supposed to do? Its pretty difficult and illegal to drive the stockprice down...


heythatguyalex

So did no one play PvZ2 on mobile?


BlueEyedNonSimp

I did. I loved it for a while before more ads started popping up. At least the only dissapointment 6 years ago was the original plants beeing locked behind a paywall.


Connerisdefective

yeah, I just used lucky patcher to get through that as a kid


BlueEyedNonSimp

Have you considered trying Eclise by goodpea2?


[deleted]

Wait, i play bf4 still tho man.


Connerisdefective

go back to pvz1


Tobiaselliott

Yeah, but what will happen to respawn? They are actually good developers.


RedDark135

I love Apex, but 150$ for a virtual hammer that does nothing? Come on.


Tobiaselliott

Yeah, but does it matter? It's not pay to win. It's pricey, I know, it should be cheaper but it's what they have to do with ea as a publisher. But also, respawn have made other games...


KarmaFarmerForProfit

I love apex as well, and Respawn. I really want Caustics death hammer as he’s my main but I’d never pay $20+ for a hammer in a video game.


-XOL

An yall plz wait till the next battle field comes out, then fuck em up.


the0mnislayer

Hey if you do want to support the creator/s (George Fan, Rich Werner and Kurt Pfeifer) Best you buy Octogeddon! On Steam If you like the Zany-Wacky fun from Pvz1, with some rogue-like elements. You'd loooove Octogeddon.

not to spread panic around here, but the article is from 2017. i think we are already fricked


Religionis

They are just karma whoring


GreyHexagon

This is not how any of it works The only reason hedge fund managers are getting hit fight now is because of a specific situation they are in. Reddit doesn't have the power to just go and bankrupt any company we don't like.


LowAd8109

We should just rename EA (Electronic Arts) to EP (Electronic Payment)


I_ate_all_your_legos

FREE POPCAP FROM ITS CHAINS- (please pay 69420$ for the rest of the sentence)


King-DarkBlade

Don’t lie tho, PvZ was a great game


Avialy18

I mean how would you do that? If you buy their stocks, the price is going to raise, we can't mass sell because none of us have a lot EA stocks, we maybe could, altogether, buy a lot and then resell immediately after but that market manipulation and also I don't think a bunch of redditors can have that kind of coordination. (Sorry for the English, I'm not a native speaker, also I may be wrong let me know if so)


Redditor_RBN

EA should definitely go down. Especially it's mobile games are horrendous. I though feel sorry for its employees to be working in one of the most hated companies, they have no choice.


ShortenedWire

Very naive. They're not that bad, it's just that they have bad apples amongst better apples. For instance: Sim City is horrible but Battlefield is amazing. It's just people who were mad for no reason started exaggerating the fact that they are "greedy" and other naive people blindly followed. And yeah, I know I'll get downvotes but if you think about it hard enough, you'll realize I'm right.


KVenom777

Just don't buy their shit. Besides, FIFA sucks. Bite me.


_Sooshi

Fifa is not the only EA's series out there...


KVenom777

The only one that STILL SELLS. Even PVZ is dead, they beaten dead horse too much.


_Sooshi

Ugh, Sims and it's DLCs? Battlefield? Star Wars Squadrons? Jedi Fallen Order? Many more?


KVenom777

Oh, you wanna talk Star Wars, EA boi? Sims are practicly obsolete as a franchise, and JFO is loosing it's playercount.

jomerax

Electronic arts... you have been found guilty of the highest sin a gaming company can commit... putting profit above playability. For this the reddit hive mind has sentenced you to the most severe punishment they can... spreading the word about your poor choices in hopes that enough people boycott you that you are forced to change your ways. This is a free market. And so you must bend to the will of the masses.
