Okay so i'm sure we all know the whole EA hate train going on and to be completely honest, it's really annoying, especially when people look passed what really matters and hold that grudge for what happened prior.
What i mean is, with the launch of Star Wars Battlefront 2 i do feel the way they had set things was a bit ridiculous, but they soon changed it and lowered the grind significantly. People may not want to admit it, but EA listened, sure it's still an option to buy crystals, but it's also obtainable through milestones and such, but i can get over the crystals seeing that the DLC is all free for all players. Not to mention that the Graphics and Game play of the new Battlefront is amazing, IMO of course.
I can understand getting upset but to take it to the length it's at? Especially when companies like Activision have done this for the past 3-4 games and haven't changed, even going to the extent of making a patent to shove micro-transactions down our throats. Yet, the internet still bands against EA, i don't get it.
I've noticed that gamers nowadays have become very picky and demanding compared to the earlier years, we can't just inform companies on the things we dislike, we must bash them until they're nothing. Really? I don't know about some of you, but some of the greatest games in my past are EA games. Like Lord Of The Rings: Return of the King, Sims, Dead Space 1 & 2, etc.
And finally, when people claim they eat and destroy smaller companies, all I have to say is that the smaller company shouldn't have sold out. And if they had no choice, maybe it's for the best so the developers can still have a job in the long run, it's these things people miss.
I'm not completely defending EA, but i just think that people are cherry picking them out of a whole cluster of AAA developers that do the same things. It's getting kinda annoying to see YouTube and Reddit filled with the same arguments and nobody actually taking the time to see what's changed
