    prob because they will use microtransactions instead lolol.

    What do you guys think about this news? Is the zombie apocalypse coming early? Should I start preparing survival supplies?

    It's a start, but they still have a lot of problems to clean up.

    One. STOP MICROTRANSACTIONS. It's a horrible business practice and needs to stop, especially with online games. This is not a pay-to-win game. If you could pay your way to victory, there's no reason to play that game, especially if you just stomp on your enemies by buying the best weapons and stuff.

    Two. Stop using Origin. It's an awful service. Just put games on Steam instead (you too Ubisoft. No one wants to use UPlay)

    And some others here and there. If they can fix these issues, they may be able to redeem themselves...also hope they don't f*** up the Star Wars games

    That's actually pretty decent of them. Didn't expect them to retroactively do it.

    Also was impressed by it.. though they probably figure it out that old games can't give that much money no more.. if they had pay themselves already great, if not they probably wont, and by doing it they can "clean" their image even though is pretty much inocuous

    EA doing something cool for once? Do I need to invest in a bunker? I think it will be okay for a while. But, 1 good thing doesn't make up for the other bad things done. +1 - too much
