Battlefield's always been a quality product (albeit with rocky launches historically), don't know why you'd group that in with sports games or Call of Duty....

It has nothing to do with the games being bad but quite the opposite. They're good games the publisher knows will be popular and profitable so they throw in microtransactions in top of that making it an avaricious frosting on a greed filled cake

The only thing to hope for imho is for the government to get involved down the line and for someone in it to classify this horse shit as gambling.

Never going to happen, big publishers keep the government good and lobbied. It's how they're able to hide the profits from microtransactions in overseas tax shelters legally.

Just wait until some judge or senator's kid puts a $20000 bill on their credit card for loot crates. Then something will happen. It's only a matter of time.

While to no big name individuals have had this happen to them, this is an almost common thing now. I see an article every so often about how some kid ran up has parent's credit card with microtransactions in games like Madden or Halo

Nothing is going to happen until whales stop out spending us all and giving publishers billions in profits
