You Love Microtransactions: EA Earns $1.297 billion in FY 2017

[SkullFox]

Seriously??? Users LIKE DLCs and Microtransactions????


They have no other f*****g alternative. if you want to have a full game you need to buy all the shitty DLCs EA makes.... This is one of the reasons I do not buy games from EA anymore and why I wait one year for a steam game to become game of the year edition and, on sale, include all the DLCs for half the price of launch day.

Same here except I do buy EA. Every Black Friday I drop at least $300 on games. I save anywhere from 50 to 75% per game/DLC/bundle.

The only drawback is not getting to play the games right when they come out, but I'm perfectly comfortable with that being that I am backlogged in games by about 40 titles.

Nowadays, they release games unfinished and let players beta-test it. And then charge them for the fixes they deserve for free in name of DLC.

But it works and people love beta of anything.

Well some at least, how ever some are finished then parts are taken away from the game to make DLC's.

Last EA game i got was DA:I with DLC's how ever i got it at a massive discount or i would not of bothered with it, which goes for all games. I have not bothered with some of the Assassins creed titles due to it and will not until all the content is on sale for a low price.

In fact them doing DLC's for games typically saves me money as i end up waiting until the whole content is available at a lower price than the game was originally.

So they make about$30-$40 if lucky and not $60-$70.

It's good to get ya self two hobby's .

Wasn't EA voted as The Worst Company ever a couple of years in a row??
The games are getting crappier and shittier by year, while the Companies are milking Billions out of idiots pockets...

2012 and 2013. They quit doing it after Comcast won in 2014.
