The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The statement from Dice's GM specifically says they'll be restoring "crystal purchases when we've gotten it right." They want folks to buy the game, then reinstate their bullshit. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Great post I snagged from Reddit, user was verified. I'm a Producer at a AAA Studio(I'm more than happy to provide proof to subreddit mods) This is pretty clear what they're doing to anyone who works in the industry. They want to maximize their initial sales numbers to show to investors. Once the trade off is worth it(Probably 1-2 months in), they will enable the gamble boxes again because: Everyone who was on the fence will have bought the game by now You can't refund the game at this point The news will have died down, and if new articles do come out, it won't be as relevant They will already have good numbers to show investors EA is going to royally fuck over the average gamer who doesn't have a clue how the industry works on this. This is about as deceptive as it gets. I hope that clarifies things…. but please do not let this extensive clarification distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table phil bottle 1 i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,567 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Apparently it may have Disney who forced EA's hand on this. Fucking up the Star Wars IP is a no no means Disney could take the rights to make the games away from them.I hear the Disney CEO called the EA CEO directly... and then the boxes were dropped.Fucking lolSent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
