To clarify, EA CFO then added: “From a games perspective we put out, we have reflected no changes in our current strategy at this point.
In other words they'll let it ride out for a while and when other companies fully normalize this they'll step in and do it too.

They probably make so much on MTX it’s not even worth rocking the boat until 80 is ubiquitous. They could go F2P on sports and still clean up.

Not that that would ever happen

Struck a nerve there?:mjlol:

Wasn’t even a serious comment. For someone on the side of “Greatness” you sure had time to get defensive.

No? Im not even arguing for sony to raise prices :skip:

nothing i said was defensive either, i just laughed at you going off on a homo-laden tangent :dead:

There was no need to put the words at this point on the end. All he needed to say was they weren't doing it. To specify at this point means that at another point things may change and he went out of his way to include those words. This is gaming. If other companies get away with it and it proves successful they will do it to.

These corporations exist to enrich shareholders and will take actions to further that cause. No third party developer without their own platform has announced such a move and EA likely won't be the first of them.

Then what was the reason for mentioning Nintendo? I just said EA didn’t have a game worth $80 and they don’t and yo goofy biscuit head ass went “Ackwally Nintendo” when I don’t even like they’ve been pricing their shyt.

Because they’re one of the publishers that raised game prices to $80:skip:

EA is an example of not always reaching for the low hanging fruit

And you completely cut the part that said “EA doesn’t have a game worth paying $70 or $80 for.” And they don’t, they haven’t and they never will. But you hopped right to me like a fukking stalker. Leave me the fukk alone.
