Hey, for the small minority of you defending EA and microtransactions as "not yet that big of a deal", i encourage you to listen to the youtube investor conference with EA CEO John Riccitiello talking about charging a desperate gamer $1 to re-load a clip during Battlefield.

This is where microtransactions are going, like it or not.

@Joshua_CF And you don't HAVE TO read and reply to a comment thread that bunches up you panties, do you?

@robbiejones - WRONG- Listen to the youtube Investor conference with EA CEO John Riccitiello talking about charging a desperate gamer $1 to re-load a clip during Battlefield. This is where microtransactions are going.

@fishforme2 @IndremaLover - if i paid for the game, i agree. If i paid for the girl - the dumber the better.

@fishforme2 - Good analogy, but just for the record, i could care less if she's as dumb as a post.

NTM23 - You have to buy a game to comment on it? What if someone simply recognizes that adding microtransactions to retail games could send the entire gaming industry to a landfill in New Mexico?

Not thrilled with MS striking a deal with a company like EA. There's an old saying- if you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

Our game stunk because of the .....Marketing Department?

Yeah, this brilliant response makes me want to buy their stuff again.

@Kravyn81 Instant death.

Siri? Always-online DRM?! Bundled with Kinect?!?!?!

I'm kinda expecting the next announcement to be, "....Oh, and it now causes cancer, anal warts, and delivers a fatal electrical shock if not played at least daily."
