Not true. They'd only charge you $5 for a chance at unlocking the first words. You'll probably have to spend $150 to unlock them though.

"It's in the GAME" just keeps making less and less sense
MapleSyrupMafia
It is in the game, but first... you must go thru that paywall. Like some car manufacturers discussing subscriptions for options in cars...

Haven't played in EA game in over a decade

That's basically it but more expensive.
Dionysus187
Outside of EA's sports games other companies easily beat their MTX greed like Ubisoft and Activision.
EvPointMaster
"Pc... gamers understand..." why? Are there PC exclusive microtransactions?
Redisia
Nah i just know EA mostly but not exclusively (sports games) focus on pc games
EvPointMaster
Not really. Afaik all of their games are multiplatform
Redisia
really? i go through game sections sometimes and almost never see ea games (with exception of sports)

For $99.99 you can buy enough Word Points to open a Word Pack with a 1% chance of Mama/Dada and 99% chance of “Fuck”

How short-circuited is your brain that you think this crop is worth sharing?
Rauca
Any company that launch a 'pay to play' title should go bust. Imagine a restaurant, the meal is £45/person but at each course 1/2
Rauca
2/2 they ask for £5 extra or they won't let you have it.
Nolongeractive
The sad part is, I wouldn't mind a dollar or two, but to be competitive you need to spend $50-100 a month in a game. No thanks.
Boldeyes
300-400 if you play sims.

Replace "leave" with "spike" or "drop kick".

Like EA's done with more then half their acquisitions.

Every year you have the exact same baby but with updated stats
Redisia
ah you must play any sports game... 1 player changes? Time to make a whole new game with the same dlc using the same software
Talisign
Isn't that how babies actually work?
HoratioVelveteen
If you like Sports games, they're ya go to. But they then use those earnings to buy up good game developers and run them into the ground.

E-are......sports. It's in the game.

My personal pet peeve with EA is region locking into their shitty translations. Just let me play the game in English you fucks!

Why don’t you play it in english?

Anybody else remember when EA were the good guys? They've lived long enough to become the villains.
WorthEveryPenny
CDPR too. Bethesda. Microsoft even. Blizzard if you can remember. Capitalism destroys everything good, because good isn't profitable.
Amphest
Thank god for small dev teams keeping it fresh
Starhaven350
Sad part is they qre not even the worst anymore they are just still shit but not as shit as some of the others
Youhavinagiraffe
Ubisoft have all the same microtransactions plus all the years of covering up sexual harassment and abuse by the senior managers
ilhares
I remember when they used the ECA logo and were actually decent. In the days of the C-64. Anything past that was villainy.
Staddi
EA actually got better the last years. Activision-Blizzard is the real bad guy now. Followed by Zenimax and Tencent.
Matrican
Ye.... Actually nope, can't say I do.
FukcTedCruz
I hated them ever since they bought out NFLs rights in 2000s so that 2K would not be allowed to make NFL games. Never bought Madden since.
Dukeboysz
They are slowly starting to come around. Heres hoping the continue to listen to their devs and cut that shit out.

buttcreambandit
I may be misremembering but I remember all game companies being relatively good for a little while and ea being one of the first to go evil
FabianGalon
Maybe it was because you were a kid and had no idea how the games industry worked?
AintNoRestForTheWookie
I remember. They had some great titles on the early consoles, before they became a megacorp.
Zaayl
No, they have been this scummy since the 80's, people are just blinded by nostalgia for specific games/developers they used to publish for.
Rreizero
A bunch of them are following in the footsteps. Ubisoft, Blizzard.. I'm at a point where I'm out right not buying their games.
BlueBoxObsessor
Hate on EA all you want, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order was the best game I've played since Skyrim.
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Wow. That's a real fuckin' low bar, there, buddy. That is a terrible review.
Radix865
You mean the game EA had absolutely zero faith on and was supposed to prove strictly single player games are dead and done?
JollyJokzr
EA were never the good guys
wisher1977
Yeah I always loved playing EA games. Red Alert was always my favorite but now...fuck EA.
RageMojo
They didnt own the original Red Alert. They bought Westwood Studios and then proceeded to ruin both RA and C&C.
wisher1977
That they did...ruin it I mean.
DukeDarkwood
It's what they do. Buy talented developers, and stifle their talent until the name means nothing anymore, then quietly subsume them.
DrunkGermanGuy
When? They've been killing great studios for at least 20 years.
loth1c
remember when Bioware made good games?
DukeDarkwood
Yeah, that was before EA bought them. Origin, Westwood, PopCap, Bullfrog, the list goes on and on and on. Maxis avoided the fate for 20
DukeDarkwood
years, somehow, but even they eventually succumbed.
errdil
This one hurts. I think the last one I liked was Mass Effect 2, and it's been a decade since that.
gecko08
Ultrabots maybe?
VitaminJay
EA produced 'SSX Tricky'. There was a time when they were good.
ZanasoSwain
DJ Atomika here, bringing you beats as fresh as the powder on the peaks!
KidintheCloset
Man... What a godlike game... So much nostalgia.
Raxiel
I loved using Deluxe Paint on my Amiga. 16 coours? More like 16 MILLION amirite?
PokeyStabber
Lol! The company got started in games with borderline illegal activities! They illegally reverse engineered the Genesis to make games!
PostalHeathen
Reverse engineering isn't illegal, provided you take certain precautions, and EA did. It gave them leverage in negotiations with Sega.
PostalHeathen
But, in the end, they DID work with Sega. They could've blown them off entirely and published without making a deal, but chose not to.
Importaku
Lol they were never the good guys.
NiceGreenArrows
No. When was that? Good games have been released under them, but that was the good of the studios.
[deleted]

RobertBochikJr
False. That nfl exclusive contact is anti dev and holds games back from New ideas. So no. Not the ps2 Era.
iamlegendinjapan
I was just thinking when they discovered micro transactions in the PS3 and became the devil instead of just bad
500HPS
It was about 5 minutes back in '88
sumguyonabike3
Look into the story of EAs yellow tabs on Sega megadrive at that time they were leading force for good in gaming.
PostalHeathen
A very long time ago. They started out as a positive force in the industry.
NiceGreenArrows
Cos, about the only positive thing I can think of is waaaay back, when they gave credit to its developers and that was slightly unusual.
NiceGreenArrows
Which, yes, was good. But...was one small nice thing that they tended to do in the 80s, and haven't done for decades.
NiceGreenArrows
You'll have to be specific. Before they backed 3DO, and dropped it for playstation? Or are we considering pumping out Madden games positive?
thechervil
Back in the before times. Look up Starflight for the PC. It was in the 80s, but a great game. They've dropped so far since then
NiceGreenArrows
I'd say it was a great game, made by Binary Systems and Joe Ybarra. Joe was a good guy.
NiceGreenArrows
Wow, some EA stans really came out of the woodwork to feel sore about Madden games?
ZooseKatz
It’s been too long. Still pissed they bought/ruined Maxis and Origin.
Malus333
God i miss old school Ultima Online. My firsy mmo ever. To me nothing could ever quite match it.
DarkUranium
I've been boycotting them since 2007 because of what they did to Spore.
Markuspsyches
That one pissed me off, had to reinstall the game multiple times trying to get expansion to work. And we were limited to 3 installs I think.
ThisOldCPU
3expanded to 7, but the system never worked 100% right. Some optical drives were incompatible, modded DVD firmware could jam you up, too.
StartingtoFeelOldandSlow
Take a look at Paralives. Indie developer life simulation. I'm funding it on Patreon.
StartingtoFeelOldandSlow
Not sure why people are downvoting an alternative lol EA killed Maxis'/Will Wright's vision for Sims. EPs are now divided into 4 diff packs.
Xenarion
They bought Origin? I thought they created it.
xizar
Origin Systems became EA. That doesn't mean EA didn't ruin Origin.
Xenarion
Oh ok! I thought they were talking about the online game store platform.
LordNergal
About the only thing keeping EA afloat right now is Sims 4 and Mass Effect. If they do to Sims 5 what they've been discussing, I expect to 1
LordNergal
see the company out of business by the end of the decade. 2/2
KibsterIXI
Yeah no apex makes plenty and then there is the sports games with endless loot boxes, think I read somewhere that FIFA microtransactions
KibsterIXI
Makes more than everything else they do combined
BahamutBBob
Apex makes them tons of money.
LordNergal
Apparently not enough, given their financial reports. Which makes me wonder what they're spending the money on.
Arkandos
What have they been discussing for sims 5?
StartingtoFeelOldandSlow
Online multiplayer. And we saw how well Sims Online did.
LordNergal
Online-only. Probably multiplayer-only too. EA has this weird idea that online-only is the future.
Itsonporpoise
If they throw enough money at it and make enough in return it will be. Hopefully they manage like they do everything else currently though
Redisia
Westwood
NorwegianSheepknuller
Westwood assured their own destruction. EA was actually quite lenient with them
SgtKnux
I miss Nox

you can still play it on origin!

RIP Westwood. Bought up by EA and thrown into the unwanted developers bin.

God dammit, EA ruined the chances for a wild west tycoon 2
Shaodyn
I would have been happy with more Command & Conquer games.
TodayIsSlapANaziDay
Bioware.
LordRevan2584
I don't know about this one chief. Bioware did to itself.

Bought by EA and ran into the ground. All pre-EA releases were fine.

wazeewa
EA were good guys? Must have been before Atlantis sank into the ocean or the continent of Lemuria was still around.
agathos
They produced all those Jane's combat sims. Longbow 2! Now big publishers think flight sims are too niche. They want mega-hits every time.
factotumjack
EA started the practice of giving their programmers credits and bios in the back of their manuals because "we are Electronic Artists" 1/2
factotumjack
EA reverse engineered the Sega Genesis. Before that, console developers had total veto power on what could be published. They were good once
OrangeJesus
Madden used to be good. NCAA football was legit. The skate games. The sims. Ssx. Rockband. Yea, they used to be good guys
Sandwich05
Yeah they were good until consoles got internet acces
OrangeJesus
Half agree with ya. Ps2 had online capabilities. I think it was when console players had decent internet access is when the change started
malaroo
The Sims (and all the "Sim" series games) were made by Maxis, until EA gutted and closed Maxis (like many others), so... when exactly?
OrangeJesus
Take sims out, replace with battlefield
malaroo
Battlefield Hardline was developed by Blackbox as well. Normally, it's developed by Dice, who is a leader in micro-transaction scummery.
OrangeJesus
Ok. See the other examples....
malaroo
(2) Even at that... Rockband was a straight knock-off of Guitar Hero. Kinda weird to point at a knockoff and say "Look! Good guys!"
malaroo
Rockband is made by Harmonix. Skate was developed by Blackbox, which was then consumed, gutted and closed by EA.
