UFC 3 Is A Loot Box Monster

[SmoothPancakes]

Well I as a potential EA consumer have a MAJOR problem with all iterations of EAs pay to win quasi gambling ultimate team modes. Now I just vote with my wallet by not buying any of their products.

However I suspect their time is running short with liberal elected officials now looking at regulating it out of gaming or requiring a rating of 18 years old just to play.

Edit and quoting an article from know EA kissass good doesn't move the needle.

Wait, are you saying liberals in government do have their uses and positives in your eyes?

I'm not sure I ever expected to see that.

No I do NOT agree with government intervention in video games. I'd rather the market dictate over time whether my thoughts (EA's pay-to-win ultimate team modes, loot boxes, etc...) are correct. There is no reason for the government to ban/regulate something if the market is by and large ok with the quasi gambling/pay-to-win mechanics.

Unfortunately, the market ain't gonna do anything. Ultimate Team has been around for years now and sure isn't disappearing anytime soon. And I doubt we'll see micro-transactions and loot boxes go away anytime in the coming years. If anything is learned from EA and Battlefront II, companies won't make it quite as major a part of the entire game, but it isn't going anywhere. Hell, even lost sales from Battlefront II have probably been wiped out by whales buying loot boxes before they were disabled.
