EA CEO on gaming microtransactions

[quote=caucheka][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR6-u8OIJTE] its kinda quiet. >when you are 6 hours into playing battlefield, and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you really aren't that price sensitive at that time. >we're not gouging, but we're charging. >a substantially better future for the industry and people still buy ea games?[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Everyone is pissed at EA cause of origin and their customer service sucks so much ass. But this is only the informed (read: smart) minority. A majority of people are still going to buy their games because it's the next coolest thing available on the Xbox.[/quote]

[quote=Beeswarm17]:O My jaw hit the damn floor. If I hadn't already sworn to never buy any EA games, this would convince me to. Holy shit. Nope. Do not want.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Still buying EA Games. Not new ones though. Old ones that were made under the company EA Sports though, sure.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]this is semi related to the current topic, but ea has released a list of games that it will be shutting down online servers for Boom Blox Bash Party for Wii Burnout Revenge for Xbox 360 EA Create for PC, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 EA Sports Active 2.0 for PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 EA Sports Active NFL Training Camp for Wii FIFA 10 for PlayStation Portable and Wii The Godfather II for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 EA Sports MMA for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Need for Speed: ProStreet for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 The Saboteur (loss of The Midnight Club access) for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Spare Parts for PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 funny thing is, all of those games are pier to pier gaming, the saboteur is losing its dlc, at least one of those games has an online pass, and a few of those games are even from last year. the biggest problem was, ea claimed that the 'whole reason for the online pass is to keep the servers running, as people who buy used copies don't help keep them running' yet they shut down the server for it (once again its pier to pier servers) anyway.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Wow, really? Really? If I hadn't already sworn never to buy any more EA games, this would convince me to. :P [quote] >when you are 6 hours into playing battlefield, and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you really aren't that price sensitive at that time. [/quote] Really dude? Suck my dick you greedy bastard.[/quote]

[quote=Beeswarm17]"peer to peer" ...sorry, couldn't help it. >_>[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Related: It's been 11 days since Bioware gave any update on the game breaking glitch that stops me playing ME3. Instead, they are talking about announcing DLC for the shitty ending and how many other ways they're going to milk every last penny out of people. The worst part is that people are actually begging them for DLC on their Twitter.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i really have no idea why people still by bioware games. everything i've said about da2, and tor, and now me3, have been correct. yet people ignore me as being a stupid troll and get it anyway.[/quote]
