Just a reminder that is an old trick EA has done for years. They abuse the fuck out of you, then say they'll stop it for like 1 game so they look like they are sacrificing something for their fans that they love oh so much, but also working behind the scenes on new ways to do worse things.
I remember when that cunt at EA, Andrew Wilson, after years of online passes, came out and said "no more online passes" and was smiling ear to ear as the live audience cheered, but you could see the horns on his head grow. Then we got season passes.
They did it with Dead Space remake by using "no microtransactions" as a "friendly, respectful gesture" but it was of course, just an advertising trick, and they don't give a shit about you.
EA does this to seem like they are reformed or good people, all the while having horrible games like Fifa that sell the practice of gambling to all, even children, without a care in the world. They have released games like UFC 3 that got patched to have adverts, while also retro patching the previous game, UFC 2, to have them too.
This is not a good or friendly company. They are starving you, then giving you mold covered scraps, while they make hundreds of millions profit while screaming about how expensive games are to make / copy paste. Then they make badly received games like this and act like they are trying their best to serve their amazing fans by not including extra bullshit.
Fuck EA.
