Prince Valiant:

Vain attempt to avoid the gambling investigation? I hope they get slammed and it sets precedent to force loot box garbage out of all games. Stunning revelation every time 🙄. No one is forced to do anything but it's always designed to encourage purchases and kids are involved. Trying to funnel children into gambling to squeeze out a few more pennies is disgusting.
Then all cosmetics go behind a paywall and you can no longer unlock free lootboxes by playing... don't think that's cool either. Now i don't give a rats ass about BF2. I'm mainly concerned for Heroes of the Storm, as it has a flawless lootbox system.

I'd rather have no loot boxes. They're shit. At the end of the day, wtf is a loot box? Only three of the games I ever played have loot boxes. Three. And I probably played a couple hundred games in my life. They don't have loot boxes, and they are perfectly fine. Remember the loot boxes in Half Life, Quake, Final Fantasy, Halo, Dark Souls, Witcher 3, etc? No? Exactly.

Why would achievements need to go behind a paywall in the first place if it is a full price game where you unlock things by playing the game? "lootboxes" just doesn't make sense to me. It's only this year that I even learned about the term "lootbox".....

Sad, hope EA wake up. Pay to win in any form, especially loot boxes is game breaking. Also those crystals should either never come back or back when the game is several years old.

I had a long rant typed up about EA/DICE, but I decided it best to simply say; I hope idiots finally realize where the entire gaming community is headed if we don't stop supporting these trash companies taking advantage of it's play base. Seriously to hell with EA, they have been trash for a long time. They want your money without providing quality goods in return.

This post sums up my thoughts nicely:

Agreed. A good game will stand up fine on good game design alone.

Do you think we could get EA to drop DICE and then get DICE to finally finish their Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942? They left it in an unfinished beta state so they could go off and get rich. In fact, let's all pledge not to buy any DICE games until they finish it!
