I've been not buying EA games for over 20 years and I'm doing pretty well

Because some of them are actually pretty good

Or have been in the past at least, not quite so much anymore

If it's a series you want to play and complaining about it gets them to change things, why not complain? It's better feedback than simply not buying it.

I don't. They haven't made a game I've wanted since mass effect 3.

I don't because they don't appeal to me even without the micro-transaction bullshit.

EA does make good games, but they make horrible business decisions.

EA Access is a pretty good deal; $5 a month (or $30 a year) gets you all the sports titles of the last few years (excluding current year games), the Dragon Age games, Mass Effect, Skate 3... I may not have played Skate 3 otherwise, but I just bought it over black friday

I haven't been interested in a single EA game this generation, tbqh

The only Ubisoft games I'm interested in anymore are the Far Cry games, but Primal got me really close to quitting that too.

NFS Payback is pretty good.

Someone call me something nasty. I revel in your snobbery. It gives me life.

Not really, it's just that their mediocre games look good when compared to their shitstain business decisions.

I've heard people saying battlefront 2 is such a gem buried beneath the microtransactions and how it's such a shame. Hum, no, it's an extremely mediocre and shallow game made to capitalize on the star wars hype movie releasing soon, just like the first turd they released 2 years ago.

This is a problem that can't resolve itself by just not buying EA games. There are people who's only video game purchase for the year is the yearly sports title of their favourite franchise, and perhaps the latest shooter. No, this can't be solved with just not buying EA games. Gaming companies are quick to pick up on the latest trends, and what makes money for one company will make money for other companies. You'd have to not buy games from any of the major publishers if you truly wanted to stamp out abhorrent practices such as microtransactions and predatory loot boxes.

I don't. It also has the side effect of me not really giving a shit what happens with them or their fans though.

Because EA is publishing/buying our favourite developers. Like once upon a time, Bioware.

It's not like people are buying EA developed games and complaining about them.

I mean in general, they make good games, but in the case of games like Battlefront 2, thats debatable.

I haven't, not really on principle but just because I don't play sports game and they don't typically have any interest in too much else they publish. I think the last game I bought related to them was Titanfall 2. And before that I couldn't tell you

And if you stopped buying their games, they wouldn't have enough money to buy out other developers. You only have yourselves to blame
