It is a bit mad certainly.

Bet he'd commission a paid for DLC new ending without blinking though.

At least it would get us the new ending

Wow! EA sure are a greedy bunch.
Microtransactions might be profitable for companies but thgey actually exploit people who are addicted to online gaming. There is scientific eveidence for online addiction and this business model aims at damaging people who have been hooked even more.

If the tobacco industry is forced to show more social responsibility then so should companies like EA, Only because you are making money doesn't justify the means. A proper justification also needs to take the damage to the costumer into account.

Wait, what? Im laughing again=) thank you

That was truly horrifying to listen to. This is a man who clearly has no concept for what games should be about, and just wants to make money.

"Pay to reload"

*clears throat. points at "supply packs" in the mulitplayer*

Usable item. Refills ammo.

Can be bought with money.

Those really should not be available for real money. For one it's easy to earn credits in game for two they aren't worth more real money and for three they are really random and you usually get garbage. It's shameful that they sell those for real money.

It does because no one forces you to spend your money. If too many people think it's worthwhile to spend their money on that kind of model than as sucky as it seems, capitalism has worked. I don't think it will get there though and definitely not in this economy.

However, you can see the idiocy of people who think that free to play MMOs are wonderful when many of them don't realize that they actually wind up spending more to have decent access than they would playing on a monthly sub model.

I can't access YouTube now, so what is he saying ?

He's basically saying that at a certain point, a gamer is so invested in a particular game that they no longer think clearly and so, this is the perfect time to ask them to pay more to keep playing.

His example is someone who has been playing Battlefield for 6hrs and they run out of ammo so they have to pay $1.00 to restock and keep playing.

I see, thanks for the clarification !

Actually, it makes perfect sense from a business standpoint. But what I despise is that it seems the trend in this industry is that gamers are only considered cash cows instead of consumer entitled to quality products...

Failway to do business, especially if you go public about it.

I would completely stop gaming if gaming companies did this.

People are begging EA/Bioware to do this to them on this board.

It's even more shameful that people buy them.

Capitalism is a two-way transaction. They wouldn't sell what folks wouldn't buy. I don't understand why anyone would buy what it only takes a match or three to earn, but I guess in today's instant gratification society, people just don't have the patience. I sure wouldn't waste my money on it.

[Myrmedus]

This kind of individual is a CEO? Wow.

Why on Earth did BW accept the buyout from EA? Sigh.

Asking for better endings is different than asking to pay 1 dolar per reload. Stop exaggerating.

[PaulSX]

And this is why EA keeps losing money each year even when they have a bunch of blockbuster game franchises.

[j78]

This is why we have to keep up the pressure. These game companies are going to keep taking advantage of us .They [E.A.] could care less about our loyalty to their franchises .

[Mr Tsoni]

Even Hitler wouldn't charge his soldiers for a reload...

[Bendok]

The music is very fitting.

This is a man that wants to decimate the industry.

[ClericofDeath286]

The use of emotions to take advantage of players.........


psychopaths sadly can be CEO's too......

I despise this.

[Tony Redgrave]

I will admit that I'm not the most pricesensitive gamer around, if I see something game related, full games, DLC for games I like, t-shirt related to games I like and such, I tend to buy it. And no I will not buy any ME3 DLC unless its for a propper ending.

But whats beeing said in that video is just wrong.
