I'm not heartbroken if EA ever crumbles considering what they did to Warhammer Online and Star Wars the Old Republic MMOs. Could have easily bested WoW, but EA has to **** the bed as always.

I actually think a large portion of the community would be ok with this method. (caveat being that it's not a cash grab for an absolute piece of trash that's only value is that it is a licensed property - such as Star Wars)jamaggie06 said:
Non-gamer. Havent played anything since Halo back in college. I get that it is misleading, but does EA owe you anything? Instead of DLC (?) and paying for upgrades, would gamers haven been any less pissed if EA said "we have solid demand for this game. Let's price it at $200"? I see this the same way. I guess the gripe would be that they suckered you in at one price but its really gonna be more for what you want (that never happens anywhere else...). I agree it doesnt make it a sound business model but if EA sucks so bad, why is there such high demand for this game? It seems like Yogi-ism "EA sucks so bad, millions of people pre-ordered their latest game..."
No ****, but you can still complain about it so that companies know. This is the stupidest line to drop when people are complaining about a game. Yes, everyone can vote with their wallet but that doesn't mean you can't also have a dialogue about what is wrong with the game.renob forest said:Says who?

You have to do both, and that's been the problem. People have complained very loudly about presales and DLC and microtransactions for years, but at the end of the day, no matter how much complaining there is, they still buy it, and that is why these practices continue. You have to both tell them you're upset and show them for there to be any change. Maybe that will happen here, because I think using this as a continued practice may alienate players, but I don't trust consumers as a whole to be tuned in enough to boycott and have a big enough effect.MBAR said:No ****, but you can still complain about it so that companies know.

I miss the good ol days when you paid for the game you owned everything included in that game. And if you couldn't unlock something, there was a cheat code.

I have and me and my brother are both enjoying it. We mainly play the "Galactic Assault (I think?)" game mode and not the space battle ones. The "P2W" and star card stuff doesn't have that big of an effect in that specific game mode and it's more about individual skill and strategy. The cards do have a large effect in the space battle mode and I imagine it may not be as fun if you're on a team that's getting wrecked by some dude with a decked out fighter or interceptor.Forum Troll said:
Anyone actually play the game this week? Thoughts on multiplayer? Is the progression system as bad as they say it is? I had some concerns during beta but once I unlocked some basic star cards I seemed to settle in and had a good time.
