Yanno it’s funny, I have a friend who works at EAs customer support. The whole thing is driven by money, when you go to the customer support and they get your details and look at your info, beside your name you have Brackets that says how much you have spent on EA games, micro transactions and DLC. And depending on your “rank” depends on how much service you get, how fast your problem is delt with and how lenient they can be. It’s honestly disgusting.

Internet Hradman You can bet that EA is not the only company to use practices like that. In fact it explains a lot when you here people talk about the quality of customer support they get.

Haven't bought StarWars, CoD:WW2, BF1, or any major AAA release of the last few years. I can say with a clean consciousness - I am NOT part of the problem. In fact I am revisiting most of the classics and older games and having a total blast. And the few modern games I do play at the moment do not have microtransactions or lootboxes or any other kinds of cancerous bullshit. There were days where I looked forward for the next Call of Duty game, the next Battlefield game, but I quickly learned that, that excitment is ill placed and lost interest. I am much more picky with my games now. I pay more attention to games that do deserve recognition and that have clearly put the effort in. That pretty much rules out the modern AAA industry as it stands. And I categorically avoid any games with lootbox/microtransaction systems (except for MMO's - they are the exception to the whole system, as long as it's not P2W)

[@najib9093]

[@spaghettiioassassin8151]

B Vz Define “old timer”. The thing is, lootboxes have been around for many years and nobody had problems with them in the past. I’ve been gaming for a little over 20 years now and I have no problem with the way that Overwatch or TF2 have been doing it. In fact I actually like the way that they do it because you get a box every time you level up which is a nice little gift every few games and it’s fun to see what new items you get to add to your collection. Now I would absolutely never pay for lootboxes. HOWEVER, the EA lootboxes are complete bullshit and should never be put into a game. So basically what they did is take a decent system from other games and said “hey, instead of cosmetics, let’s put in power upgrades and weapons”. This is why nobody cared about lootboxes until very recently.

[@Treachize]

Exactly

[@TheRealAhmadAmiri]

Meanwhile, Polyphony, the guys who released an unfinished Gran Turismo, are at least making up for it by bringing in over 500 cars completely free, new courses completely free, and a campaign mode (which should of been in the game from the start if you ask me) completely free. Thank you Polyphony for proving micro transactions and DLC arent necessary in a time where most AAA publishers and devs make it seem like micro transactions and paid DLC are necessary.

[@TheRealAhmadAmiri]

his point was that they were giving new weapons, maps, game modes and gear for free. not so much that the update itself was free. A lot of games these would make you buy loot boxes to get those new weapons and gear.

Major Glitch How old are you, to oversimplify the issue so much? This isn't muh big bad gubbermint banning muh vidya games. This isn't Australia, or Germany. This is a U.S. state informing parents who probably are too out of touch with games to know, that EA is selling stuff that's already in the game to their children, for insane prices.

To show you that the Battlefront 2 boycott is alive and kicking, I ask that anyone who hasn't bought the game, give this comment a 👍

[@TheKiroshi]

I'm sorry but this is a fucking stupid comment. I hate EA as much as the next guy.. But I didn't Ignore battlefront 2 because of EA.. I ignored it because its a terribly shallow game. Its not me boycotting EA. And liking your comment is stupid too.

even tho it's a parody he's still right, every single one of you who buy that piece of trash is as much guilty as EA ! like there's no other good game around ... "but muh star wars" it's a fucking arena where everybody shoots everybody except they have stormtrooper armor instead of ww2 soldiers, great it bring so much to the franchise

[@jaydenzel8819]

I still bought it

[@notoriousbig3k]

Hellyers it will die out in 2 years nobody will play it

[@insomnia2869]

not all of us buy into it because some of us understand what EA is

[@IloveJellow]

if you want to get under their skin pirate that shit.

[@verfed]

I bought for the first time Battlefront II 2005 and am loving it! I will not buy the new Battlefront until all this crap is sorted out years down the road.

Capitalism is free market no government intervention but for some reason we will intervent in government...EA? ea is more like...well they buying every company and killing them, blocking others from competing with their fifa and nfl shit..so ea is like a monopoly? idk it's what happens when i give capitalism too much freedom

[@Saphiros]

everybody seems to blame tf2 for microtransactions but it was actually ea that started them in fifa

[@d1p70]

h/t SkillUp yo!

[@Callofmuts]

Saphiros funny thing is theres a difference where EA lootcrates are luterally lootcrates as in they give you items that affect your game whilst TF2 only gives you crates that you could open if you want, and if you do crack them open they are only cosmetics which you could already buy on the market

[@DarthSoto78]

I fell the same way. If someone wants to pay a million dollars for a pink Stormtrooper have at it, but when I have to pay for progression after already paying $60 then it's bullshit.

[@elijahenriquez7885]

[@raphaellapointe9143]

What's funny is that they never actually had the courage to put'em back!

When they showed the companies they killed that shit was actually fucking sad especially since some of those games losts of people grew up with westwood command snd conquer series and dice's games in particular

Everyone please share this.

[@Tondeyukitai80]

I was waiting for a spoof of E.A. updated and all I saw was the real E.A. ceo come out and laugh.

[@TheHallow31]

3 years after the fact, I'm actually happy to say this video didn't age well. Don't get me wrong, EA is still the absolute worst. But they never had DICE reinstate the loot box system in Battlefront II and actually reworked the entire in-game progression system from the ground-up. Up until just a few months ago, the game was getting free monthly content drops and is now more than twice the game it was at launch. This is one of the few times that the consumer actually made a notable difference.

[@1231231232972]

look at fifa , genius

[@uhacharly81]

I'm more sad then whatever the hell I was supposed to feel watching this video

[@Darksector88]

This is so true, good job with the video. Hopefully it makes some gamer's question how they spend their money but yeah, probably not.

[@darkmaster539]

I agree with the GTA point. People defend them and they are just as bad. The bunkers even have a time delay on research or a "pay to speed up" system.

[@fazlerabbi460]

So happy that u guyz r back.......Finally watching a quality content after a long time....

[@Shadow62x]

EA arguably invented the loot transactions. It got popularized by games like TF and CS:GO. We expect them from F2P games. We do not expect it from a game we anted 60-200 dollars for.

[@devilofether6185]

Apparently Andrew Wilson was basically the one who invented the idea of lootboxes, on an early FIFA game in which the scheme was successful enough to kickstart his career in the company, and make him CEO, all this was long before valve and TF2. (assuming I am correct) more people need to know about this ; Andrew Wilson is the SOURCE of lootboxes in this entire industry!

[@tanimationchannel4951]

If a game is free, I get why the developers would want money, but I still hate mobile freemium games because they over do it If I pay for a game, I WANT A GAME This is why I praise fallout, they always sell a complete game buggy, but a complete game none the less Also I hate pre-ordering games, quit paying for undeveloped unrevied and unfinished games and stuff like this won't make money

[@AranOCNC]

Love the fact you guys are back with the 100% honest videos. And ya nailed it with being mad at the gamers who keep buying EA's crap. After the shit they pulled with battle front 1 no one should have bought the 2nd one. Regardless of weather its a good game or not

aran oc the only problem I have is they glossed over the 3 billion dollar loss EA took over this. Gamers can make a difference and they have but not enough people are boycotting it.

[@danilanglois6785]

A video named "The Addictive Cost Of Predatory Videogame Monetization" was made by Jim Sterling about a week ago. It shows game developer actually discussing how to "hook whales" with micro-transactions. The beginning of it shows the speaker suggesting they leave their morals at the door. I feel his video should be shared, especially with government leaders. Maybe you could do a similar video for 100% Honest or even just one on Monetization? To clarify, one using the video that shows the developer talking about "hooking whales". Maybe "If the Video Game Industry was 100% Honest"?

Thats why I torrent EA games

[@garrywulf537]

[@BraddahSpliff]

That is still supporting EA

[@garrywulf537]

But they're not getting any money from me

[@BraddahSpliff]

When a dev/publisher brags about concurrent players, they add you into that whether you bought the game or not. That supports them.

[@garrywulf537]

but pirated games have their online feature removed,so that means they know i have their game even tho I'm never connected to their servers?

[@Balnazzardi]

3:05, the thing with that is that atleast Microsoft learned from their mistakes and went full 180 degrees after that disasterous launch of Xbox One. First their dropped the whole always online thing and DRM, then they kicked out Don Mattrick and Kinect is dead and buried and also dropped out the whole sports/TV thing out of their press conferences for good. I mean really is there anyone really here who would still be mad about that and boycott Microsoft/Xbox for these particular things and actually fear they would come back with those things one day?

[@deadgar69]

We're fucked anyways, the future will be a probably a place were you pay for every KB you use of internet (starts with the net neutrality death) every time you reload in a game like battlefield, every time you log in online, and if you want to buy a game you will have to pay a monthly service for the gaming industry catalog to pay $60 more for the game and careful there cause if you want to play COD online will be $60 more to unlock it, and there's more, if you want to play with friends will be and extra $30 per friend because fuck you they will do whatever they want :3 Thinking about it it's scary and stupid at the same time

[@wolfpack4128]

Edgar Ruiz maybe but cell phone networks aren't regulated and all I see now are unlimited data packages at lower and lower prices. Don't believe the Doomsday predictors all the time.

[@deadgar69]

It's a joke but that joke can be true someday if corporations like EA keep making stupid decisions about their games, remember when dlc's sounded like a stupid idea? Now it's normalized

[@AgentNibbles]

4:14 That list made me cry internally, Pandemic your Battlefront games were incredible.

[@ManiacX1999]

2:33 I loved the subtle "don't suck" in the background of the movie poster...

[@KlausWulfenbach]

Easy fix: Play Star Wars Battlefront II on GoG, not Origin. (The joke is that GoG has the original BF2 with working servers and it's better than the new BF2. EA still gets a little of your money but at least you're paying for, and playing, a good game called Star Wars Battlefront II instead of a bad one.)

[@TheKiroshi]

The recent update allows for Steam/GoG(Galaxy) users to play together. And its kinda alive. Might have to wait for a full match, but there are still 3000+ players on and off in a day.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

If someone locates Ubisoft, Konami and EA Headquarters, prepares a highly flammable substance and burns all of it down (all the servers, all the statistical information, everything) I fucking swear on my life - I will pay half of all my money for his attorney. Do it. Cleanse the world. You will be my hero, no matter if anyone dies or not. At least send those pieces of this a message. If us not buying their shit is STILL not stopping them, then perhaps this will. Fear is the greatest weapon against predators. I would love to perform some vandalism myself, but sadly I live too far away from any of these.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

No ! No !! This is not the solution ! Me, you or some other guy reading this... If we just pretend they don't exist it won't do shit ! When fucking cancer strats spreading just ignoring it will only serve a less problematic spread for it ! How long till... I don't goddamn know... Resident Evil will go off the rails again and starts charging microtransactions for more powerful guns ? Huh ? What the fuck will we do then ?... The problem with EA is that although we, the gamers with actual brains, might be simply ignoring it... Those market people in other video game companies will not. And then we'll find ourselves on the brink of a cliff... SOmething has to be done... This is not some shit like disc-locked DLC, season passes and so on, no, this is very dangerous for the entirety of gaming community. We have to fight this somehow... If only I was smart enough to think something up.... Once people like Mikami, Kojima, Kamiya and all the other oldschool legends pass away we'll be left with these moneygrabbing pieces of shit and then THEY will be the ones dictating us what to play. A fucking nightmare...

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

...Okay, yeah... Yeah, you are right, I may be just overreacting... I'm sorry, excuse me... After losing Silent Hill I kinda became.. a bit panicky... Have to pull myself back together.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

KZbin Killer is a tranny Yeah, I admit that. Don't think too badly of me though - I was not the one who decided to become this way. The industry did... so much shit to the things I wholeheartedly love... I know, I'm a sap. Just take my word for it - I have way too many reasons to be this way.
