Yeah, they're straight up lying out their asses. They dumped it because they couldn't hyper-monetize it, and they know they're caught. Does anyone even trust a single word EA says, at this point? I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, for a while. Activision was becoming far scummier than them... but they weren't content being second fiddle in the garbage scowl race.
I was in the closed alpha and played the recent beta and I was not impressed, at all. The perverse microtransaction system in the game makes it all the easier to make the decision not to buy. I wanted it to be good, but this kind of behavior from the games industry cannot be tolerated and cannot be allowed to continue.
