Thank God for government regulation

Thank God for government regulation.

Good then this will teach any and all future gaming companies and remind them again on why they should not fucking exploit and cheat around like that again in order to avoid getting their asses rammed up hard like in the fucking 90's when they had to be fucking spanked hard.

I don't give a shit if this means the government will start making extreme regulations to prevent this shit from getting out of hand like it has fucking been for the last seventeen goddamn years as long as this means that we will finally see real actual games with actual gameplay implemented again like it was suppose to be a long time ago.

Anyone that disagree with me on this and defends companies like fucking EA for doing shit like this can suck my big black cock.

This should be called Battlefront IV. Fuckin pisses me OFF.

fpbp

What happened?

They sold the game for seventy dollars and then made it pay to win with loot boxes. If you wanted to unlock the content you paid for without paying additional money, you'd have to play for over 2100 hours while getting stomped by other players who bought the loot boxes.

This was followed by outrage and now governments want to ban loot boxes for being unregulated gambling targeted towards children

but then people might think it's building up on the past classic games instead of being the gigantic pile of shit that it is

Wow, thats certainly one way to get it done. This timeline is fun

It also means unrelated games will get hit by this. The question lingering around is should said law effect cosmetics too?

But more importantly, EA pissed off Disney. Disney doesn't take things that hirt their brand name lightly.

The disconcerting part is that all of the fucking retarded knobs think it’s okay if they’re cosmetic because they love their gay ass (((overwatch))) game. So they’ll just go to cosmetics because “it’s not as bad.”

>EA pissed off Disney
As if Disney didn't approve until the PR got bad

Of course it should, gambling shouldn't be targeted to children unless the money is removed.

Why the need to involve the fucking government? Just boycott that shit and don't buy it.

> Disney just realized that people hate EA dumb faggots get what they pay for

Cutscenes are darth vader with mickey mouse ears fucking a stormtrooper up the ass with his giant erect black robotic cock

They will literally make every single game this way

They will crash the video games ship with no survivors before they stop fucking you over.

That might be a good thing at this point, I'd love nothing more than to see Disney and ea lose hundreds of millions on their gaming division so i can laugh as heads start rolling, but we both know they will just blame homophobes and Nazis again and they will just quietly cut the gaming division and reassign all the faggot executives responsible to other areas of the company.
Then the cycle will repeat, the talent gets fucked and fired, the cancer spreads until bankruptcy.

Maybe you should grow up and stop playing and paying for children's nintendo games. Also learn some self discipline you fucking troglodyte.

Then don't buy them anymore. Dumb dumb has to have this explained to him.

Prove its gambling. The law doesnt operate on feels.

what am i looking for here?

is everyone mad because they called it battlefront 2?

Based black man

Gamers have no impulse control so they have to get big brother to help them. They are truly pathetic souls.

Manchildren cant control themselves. I say let them go broke.

I haven't bought an ea game since I got dead space 3 in humble bundle like 5 years ago.

That doesn't change the fact that a lot of stupid faggots out there would buy a literal plate of shit if it had a star wars logo on it.

The Mechanics are BS, the gaming industry is utter shit now.

BUT, it's not gambling, it's the same thing as playing a trading card game. You buy packs (loot boxes) to get new cards.

You spend an initial upfront cost for the game (first desk) and build out with more packs (loot boxes)

So the government needs to get involved because the manchildren can't control themselves?
Ok.

>pay money for chance to gain

Loot boxes are evil. Period. And yes, they should be subject to the same regulations as online casinos.

Don't you get it user? It's EA, our mortal enemy! So it HAS to be gambling!
Then don't buy them, fool. Why do you need the cosmetic bullshit to enjoy the game?
Entitled manchild, all of you.

If they ban loot boxes, wont this fuck over Team Fortress 2 (you have to buy keys to unlock loot boxes which give you a random item)?

It's not even gambling because the things inside the loot boxes can't be traded or converted back into real world money.

Faggot numale gamers are basically trying to get the government to ban those machines in the grocery store where you put 50 cents in and a random colored toy comes out.

Dumb people gamble, and there is nothing wrong with that. But only truly stupid people gamble with virtual laser guns in a children's game, and then demand the government help them stop lmao.

VIDEO GAMES ARE A YUMAN RIGHT

They will make excuses for valve until the end of time, knowing full well they started the loot box trend.

They are quite pathetic souls.

Pls tell me your joking, I heard the new rainbow six was similar and that just killed the fan base

Thats not a kids game

Anyone who still buys EA games should be gassed

Are you fucking retarded?

I said I would rather they just die from their stupidity.

Learn to read idiot.
The market will reject their bullshit and given no other options the video game industry will collapse again, which is good and way overdue.

Go fight your windmills somewhere else nigger.

fpbp

Wow I forgot about cards. So if the govt outlaws this will baseball cards, Magic the gathering, Pokémon cards etc all be banned?

Except on steam. Just got a pair of yellow pants in pubg out of loot crate, worth 22 American dollars

is a retard who cant coherently explain shit. Lootboxes in Battlefront 2 aint cosmetic - they re tied to game progression and depending on what u get you will either win or loose. Its literally pay to win. Except that its a pay to gamble for a chance to win. Which is gambling.

Redditor here!

We’ve saved gaming guys, we did it! Children can’t gamble anymore! Next we’ll save the internet from the net neutrality repeal!

it's aimed at actual children too

>killed the fan base
As it should have. Now we will see if they put loot boxes in their next game.
At least rainbow fans can into basic marketing.
Misquote, chill out nigger.

Well honestly I like it. Me and a few friends got it because we played Heroes vs Villains in the old one, and this one has that.

And they did remove the in-game purchases, and they've been trying to update. Even though all the fags who bought loot boxes got to keep all the shit they shelled out for.

So there is a lame 20% chance you'll play against a pay to player. The rest of the time its 8/10

Its no longer cosmetic. Many games that offered gear via tokens for completing content has now moved to lootboxes that give you a chance to give you the tokens now. And, you can buy "boosters" in the cash shop that improve your odds at getting said tokens.

Therefore, you are GATED unless you spend money, and that's the issue. Again, lootboxes are a form of online gambling and SHOULD BE REGULATED.

WHO THE FUCK IS STILL BUYING WESTERN VIDYA???????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>Japan
>Eastern Europe

can someone give me a tl;dr or a link or something?

did the govmt step in to ea about lootboxes?

Suck MY BBC.

Companies can charge what they want for whatever content. Don't like it? Don't buy it then.

You know you fucked up when fucking Disney doesnt even like it.

It's not gambling, manchild. You make literally no return for playing the loot box game.
Stop being a material faggot and just don't participate.

Just because you can't control your impulses or your favorite shitty game is now undeniably shit doesn't make it gambling, faggot.

>just boycott that shit and don’t buy it
That’s exactly what I’m doing

Rainbow six fixed its problems IMO.

No, it's worth 22 steam dollars. Go ahead and try to convert your steam balance back to usd, I will wait.

Yes, there are sites that might pay you PayPal to buy those from you at a reduced rate, but they are not part of Steam in any way.

Also, you'll notice all those charts when you mouse over an item in the community market about the price fluctuations of that item? That's called market pricing. Steam doesn't decide what those pants are worth, people playing the game do.

It's purchasing.

Government has over-stepped its boundaries again. RAWN PAWL!

EA practically owns the entire western vidya industry. They bought out all of the amazing studios of the early and mid 2000s

This. Ever since gamergate I've know the score, how fucking corrupt it all is.

Just play Jap, Eastern European or pre-2005 western vidya.

>It's not even gambling because the things inside the loot boxes can't be traded or converted back into real world money.
I made enough money off of csgo gambling and trading to buy a car...

Typical Pol... all about no govt regulation untill it actually effects you!
How about no video games?

Fucking based black man worked into a seething ding dong diddly shoot

No telling, but it would open up the box to government regulating all types of video games.
Remember the GTA and COD debates back in the day? Well the enemies or adult game will finally get what they want.

Video games are a human right. I couldn’t have waited to read reviews for the game before buying it, I needed all day one bonuses. The government should protect consumers like me, a 35 year old male, from gambling in video games. Children shouldn’t be allowed to gamble.

>ubisoft
>EVER

NEVER EVER FOREVER UBI

The future is bright indeed!

If you spend money for a "chance" for something, its GAMBLING.

Stop taking it up the ass, be a better friend to yourself. Stop being a complete fag.

Metacritic User Score: 0.9

Yeah, but it's better than console fags who are stuck with Jack shit

Gamergates actual objective was to crash the industry.
Faggot nu-males and paid company shills shoad a grass roots boycot.
There was a real movement to flush all the garbage vidya and developers down the toilet for a short while.

>haha I preordered your game but I'm complaining about lootboxes on reddit suck on that EA

God I fucking hate you retards. I didn't even know a new battlefront was coming out until you retards started sperging out about it like children

If you don't like the game don't buy it

The return is success in the competitive multiplayer game. It doesnt have to be material for it to be gambling. The point is that ingame progression is tied to gambling for money - which is illegal in some places, believe it or not. That is the point, not whether or not people play it. I really couldnt give two shits about the latest EA cashgrab, but it is amusing to see them bite off more than they can chew for once.

>some people have powerful laser guns, and I don't, the government needs to stop this.

>some people have nice cars and homes and I don't, the government needs to stop this.

Nah, Rainbow Six Siege added cosmetic only loot boxes, it didn't really kill the fan base at all. In fact they just passed 25 million players logged and still get about 2 million a day.

By the was Siege is probably the best shooter that's on the market right now. The game is fucking good.

DONT BUY THE FUCKING GAME.

I'm not screaming at you because I'm a gazillionare that can afford to throw my play money at loot boxes, I'm telling you not to support a corrupt industry on principle!

Does anyone have a link to a jewtube video explaining the situation?

wtf i had star wars battlefront 2 on ps2 that was 10 years ago, they still play that???

>producer produces turd product
>consumers react by not buying it
>market correction
So why is this different? Someone explain it to me.

SUCCESS IN AN ONLINE CHILDRENS GAME IS NOT A VALID FUCKING RETURN. NO ONE OUTSIDE OF REDDIT CARES ABOUT YOUR KD RATIO YOU WHINY FAGGOTS.

If the video game sucks, don't buy it. Shit it's not like you can't watch gameplay videos on YouTube, and read reviews to make an informed decision before you spend all your good boy points on the latest pew pew vidya game.

The law operates entirely on feels.

Is American government going to ban them too? I only heard Belgium and some other European country were concerned about them.

You haven't missed anything. The first two were GOAT

Just ban video games altogether

oh yeah "you don't care"? I've 8k achievement points in Wotlk, you mad?
you're mad i see through your computer screen
stay mad m8

EA made two new ones and couldn't figure out a new name for each of them because they're retarded. They're also basically reskinned battlefield games with no feel of the originals.

I want my rebels vs wampas dammit

it really is this simple.
then stop buying their games, you fucking child. stop whining.

Because these idiots can't see that by just not buying the game, that they've already induced market correction. In their lives the big daddy government is the end all be all omnipotent power and if the government doesn't do X then X will never ever happen!

I know what gamergate was about, I was there.

It's just too bad we didn't know at the time just how deep the rabbit hole was.

Too bad this time ea can't use the fags as a shield again without looking like the desperate kikes they are. Thanks trump.

Don't pay them any fucking attention. The whole fucking industry is bloated, corrupt and full to the brim with nu-males and normies.

shitposting on Sup Forums is a more interesting hobby than 90% of vidya for gods sake. The industry is THAT bad.

Every faggot losing money on vidya deserves it.

EA is borderline monopoly because they own the most talented developer studios in the world. They need to be torn apart

>Paying 60 dollars for a deck of cards
>Same thing

>Fixed infinite Doc bug
>Now the only good defenders are Kapkan, Calavera, and Pulse
I miss OP Jaeger

>i cant control myself to not buy microtransactions
>government save me from myself
ive literally never made an ingame purchase and I dont care if they exist or not

then don't buy the fucking games and they'll a) go under or b) make better games.

jesus fucking christ

I don't buy their games but the parents and dumb kids will always buy them because they're beautiful games with decent gameplay. EA keeps buying out my favorite studios

Who the fuck cares mate. Who the fuck cares.

Anyone. ANYONE who is seriously emotionally invested in what happens to the industry at this point is a fool.

Oh so it's just a Sup Forumseddit episode? Man these fucking blow.
Can't be that talented if they make shit games. Just play fucking indie games. I've had more fun with $15 personal projects than any AAA released in the past several years. Or hell do anything else. If there is not a hard market correction it's because the majority of consumers approve of this behavior which means it's time to find a new hobby market.

I'm not their base demographic. Kids and naïve parents are.

they also keep tearing down and buying out good studios
>tfw Visceral is in the grave now and Respawn is never going to get to make the Titanfall 3 they envisioned

this, so theres no saving them then, they will find more ways to fag up the game and it will still be shit so long as a community buys the shit

This is great, every lefty i know loves vidya, now that govt is getting involved, everything will go to shit. This combines with sjw cancer in games, will result in the death of gaming, and the biggest single political awakening in history.

go back to asp and stay there
