I'm surprised no one has posted this yet, Kinder surprised.

I will just leave this HERE and let you all be astounded by the stupidity of it this game company :(

Stop buying EA games people.

No really stop.

I bet you thought this was a Sony bashing thread didn't you lol

You don’t like surprise mechanics? Lol. Jk

@vaidream45: Not from EA they cost too much.

@i_p_daily: that was sarcasm. Screw EA and their gambling mechanics.

If only they came with chocolate...

Jim Sterling & Angry Joe YouTubers already talk about this.

I mean what else EA & Epic supposed to say? It's their job to defend this stuff. You can even bring up the fact that it isn't considered gambling, because that has a basis in what others have parroted before. It had a basis in reality. Surprise mechanics? Lol, That's the fucking excuse joke if I ever heard.

(As far as no one hasn't made a thread, their too damn busy bashing Xbox One/MS/Scarlet to even think about this and the fact this is just a Hearing and they are not in Court really isn't to go by)

Don't forget they are

I'm going to create a rival company called Ethic Games. It'll be rad. We'll shrink all teh boobs and only sell games without lootboxes, no nickel and dime DLC, and refuse digital preorders (because, why?).

I anticipate all teh moneys

I'm not buying EA games. I'm renting EA games. (Gonna take adventage of this quote now)

I watched the Jim Sterling and Angry Joe videos on this the other day and my god was that some of the most absolute scummy and ridiculous excuses I’ve ever heard trying to defend lootboxes. It’s absolutely disgusting the lengths that these clowns go to trying to defend them.

Funny thing is, that EA lady couldn't even look at the guy's face when she started talking. I tell ya, EA has one of the worst PR I ever seen. If your gonna be professional, look'em in the eyes lady otherwise, your a lying......

It's just not surprising anymore. It's well known that EA's trash. They don't even try to hide it.

Also well done on not making a Sony bashing thread. Keep making me proud, IP :P.

@davillain-: Nah, she did look him in the eyes a number of times while she was talking but yeah she’s still lying though.

EA will EA all the way to the bank.

They keep shining this 'positive' light on lootboxes and never mention that it's people with serious problems who spend 1000s on lootboxes.

Yawn! People will still buy EA games no matter how much people bitch about them on forums like these. As for lootboxes, well its the most overrated gaming concern outside of the Anti-SJW crybabies. :)

Wait, do people really argue that lootboxes aren't gambling? But, you're paying real money for a CHANCE at getting a good item, but you don't know what you're in for going into it. That's literally gambling, and doesn't make sense when there is no such thing as a rare digital item. There's no limit over how many times a server can send 1s and 0s to another machine.

I give your company a month, max

Well there's your first mistake. The angry video game nerd echo chamber... No thanks

They should be nuked for comparing it to Kinder.

EA execs have reportedly given their performance bonuses to employees

"the publisher was recognised as one of the best companies to work for at the start of 2018, and now it seems that EA’s top executives have diverted their own bonuses to employees."

Pure evil

Actually, yes you do! Much like Dr. House, I'm sure you've got a soft side somewhere deep down ;).

I just don't buy any micro transactions/loot boxes.

@XVision84: He's an Aussie, deep down there is only beer.

@goldenelementxl: I like to make up my own mind on something. Just because I watch something from people like those two I mentioned in my post doesn’t mean that I automatically feel the same way as they do.

The guys from EPIC squirming, lying and playing dumb was so entertaining.... those dudes are weasels.

"I would argue we dont make any money off of Fornite"

@Zuon: Its not really gambling though. If I go to a casino or buy a lottery ticket I might win something or I might win nothing and lose all my money.

Lootboxes you pay money and get somethi,g every time, its just random items though. Its like those little toys kids can buy at any store that sells toys, the ones that are usually in sealed bags that you can't see what's in them. You pay and get a toy, you just don't know what it is.

As for lootboxes I don't give two shits about them AS long as its cosmetics, once you start pushing things that alter gameplay that's were I draw a line and wouldn't buy the game.

Wow. Don't know who is worse. "F2P/P2W" mobile game companies or EA.

@vfighter: those toys are gambling too.

ahahahaha

Yeah. They don't even believe their own words.

and yet star wars (respawn edition) will sell tons and make them richer then ever.

so...

The guy she was shoveling that shit too was clearly no idiot, immediately dismissed it.

I hate loot boxes. It’s why I don’t spend money on them. I tend to avoid games that have them.

At the same time, I have no sympathy for idiots who rack up thousands in debt for these things. It is their own fault.

For those that have kids who do this, it is your fault for being a terrible parent. Teach them better. Don’t put their phone in your name. Don’t attach your credit cards to anything they own. Have passwords for all your things so they can’t steal your phone and rack up purchases.

It’s just common sense but humans are dumb lol

Lol full video. They are just shitting themselves.

It's not a surprise if they're there every time and you know they'll be there. Who's surprised?

Ea doesn't care, they just want your money.

Also, where's the chocolate the thread title was implying?

@vfighter: That would be a good argument if it weren't for a few things.

1. Most lottery tickets don't exceed $5

2. It is very unreasonable to pay for a $30 lootbox, only to be given an item that you could have easily gotten in the $5 lootbox.

3. If you've already paid $60 - 100 for the game itself (depending on edition), gambling lootboxes have no reason to even be in the game.

It's not a fucking surprise when you know it's coming.

None of these points are valid counter arguments.

@i_p_daily is an Aussie? Pls tell me you have an Aussie accent :O.

I like how she gets offended that he may be redefining her words.

Yeah, that just goes to show what they think of consumers.

@XVision84: Should ask how many shoey's he's done.

Fuckin oath mate.

Are you going to ask me if I ride a Kangaroo to work next?

I'm not gonna lie... I want the new Star Wars game though.

Nope. Do you ride a Kangaroo home after work?

Is it true that spiders in Australia are bigger than the average human hand?

Do they have Dominos Pizza in Australia?

For starters my roo has 20 inch rims and I call him Commodore or VE for short.

Not sure about bigger than your hand but we have some big buggers.

As for dominos, well I know what i'm having for dinner tonight.

You should visit Australia for a week as we will harden you the **** up lol.
