Current Events > Anyone legitly never going to buy a game from EA again?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seriously.. I get madden every year basically for $10
From Best Buy with their yearly trade in.. but their stance on loot boxes lately is getting absurd..

Usually if a game is beyond good Ill get it anyway, but I think For once Id feel good about myself to not give them another dime.

I may buy an Alice 3
---

idk i probably will but i think the last EA game i bought other than fifa was sims 4 when it came out.
---

Haven't done so in years.
---

I don't recall the last EA game I bought. Someone else got me Dragon Age: Inquisition as gift not long after it was released, but I actually think ME3 might of been last one I bought.

I really cant imagine them making anything I would want at this point. Maybe a game that they publish but certainly not one they develop.
---

Does Activision even do 3DS games?

I feel like I won't for a very long time just by default. I'm still on 7th gen, 3DS excepted.
---

I wouldn't say never... But I definitely don't trust them anymore and until they dial it down with the microtransactions I doubt I'll buy any of their games (especially when so many of them keep being synonymous with garbage.
---

Haven't for years.
---

I lost a lot of interest in their games when they decided to make them Origin exclusive. I did get Battlefield 3 and 4, but that's it. I don't feel like I missed much, since then.
---

I'll be getting Madden
---

Can't think of anything aside from the next Titanfall.
---

I'll probably get another FIFA game, and if they ever bring back NBA Street or SSX or Skate I'm right there
---

I don't have a FIFA game yet, but it's on my radar. Did EA ruin FIFA yet?

No, the last few games have been really solid and it's no longer open-and-shut that PES is better.
---

Nope. Honestly, the last time I bought an EA game was...Dragon Age: Inquisition? And I traded it back a week later.

EA just doesn't make anything that interests me tbqh. I'm more of an Ubisoft guy these days.
---

My reason for not buying from EA isn't anything as grand as a fight against microtransactions or scummy practises. I just can't remember the last time I was interested in an EA game.
---

After they ruined Bioware, I haven't bought anything they do...with exception to the Mirror's Edge sequel, which I waited to go on sale for $5.

And I have no intention of buying anything "EA" for the foreseeable future. They're a horrible company.
---

I need to buy ME3 at some point, otherwise I already own all of the DA games.

This. They just don't publish or develop anything I'm interested in. I bought Titanfall 2 but before that I couldn't tell you the last EA game I played.

lol no

Heh, me too

I haven't bought an EA game since 2005... Not planning on starting now...

EA may have forced microtransactions in their games, but for the most part Bioware ruined themselves.
---

Not a possibility as long as they still make Battlefield and hold the star wars license. Also I don't have a problem with EA
---

Prolly Tittyfall 3
---

I should have seen yhe writing on the wall with DA:I but Mass Effect broke me. I'm done with them.

Never again.
---

They have been on my video game company shit list since September 2008 since the release of Spore when I finally had enough of their evil tactics.

So yes, I will never buy any of their shit for the time being and have been doing so since then.
---

I think the last EA game I bought was Mass Effect 3.

#NeverForget
---

Nope, at least not new.
---

Can't wait for the new Battlefield to blow Black Ops 4 out of the water.
---

EA's business practices are great as long as you are patient, EA pump out the same shite over and over and mugs will pay whatever the asking price is, meanwhile I'll pay them $20 a year for access to pretty much everything a year after release. I know the next BF, Need for Speed, Mass effect is going to be pretty much the same as the last one so I'm not in a mad hurry to play it, I'll get it on the cheap with access to a pretty nice library of stuff for far less than the cost of a single game on release.

They abuse their core high spending game addicted customers who need everything brand new on release day and are willing to pay extra for all the lootbox nonsense, but the trade off is that access is a pretty nice option for less compulsive and more tight fisted gamers like myself.

Am I going to buy a new EA game at full price, then buy all the DLC/expansions for it, no god-damn way, but I don't feel that need anyway, I'll play it if it goes on access.
---

legitly
---

God no, never did
---

I'm buying Battlefield WW2 on day 1 guaranteed.
---

Why does a football game need loot boxes?
---

I'll get dragon age inquisition and mass effect andromeda when they become like 5 bucks, but normally I have no interest in EA games

Haven't done so in years.

I think the only EA game I own is the Mass Effect Trilogy. They tend not to make games that appeal to me.
---

I can't imagine buying an EA game in their current state, but I've never been one for publisher boycotting

we shall see
---

Only Titanfall, and...MAYBE Anthem.

But with EA behind them itll take a lot of convincing to have me pull the trigger.
---

They keep apologizing for microtransactions and loot boxes and then a few months later double down on them.

The last EA game I bought was ME3. I was going to buy Andromeda then when I heard of the horrendous reviews by critics and casual gamers alike I abstained. EA ruined one of my favorite original IP's of the previous generation.
---

Only if they release a new Skate probably
---

sadly I cant avoid EA because I need my Madden, NHL, and UFC fix
---

I usually play RPGs, but I would think twice about buying a game from them after that Battlefront thing.
---

You say this while probably having Red Dead Redemption 2 pre-ordered and games from similar shitty companies

Ill buy a game from any developer that makes a good game.
---

I already haven't bought a game from them in years
