@wheel_dragon_lk True, it is an issue that needs to be combated on a societal level.
Here in the U.K. EA's application of gambling mechanics like in Battlefront 2 was and still is perfectly legal based on the governmental gambling laws.
EA do exploit this and due to that fact they are perfectly allowed to provide products that on their most fundamental levels are get rich quick schemes.
Shareholders and CEO's don't want to make games, they want profit.
EA only buys or funds other game developers in order to distributed their shady business methods after they hire those studios to dress them up in some copyrighted IP.
Although the outrage brought about with this latest monetised game content may seem frivolous to most. It truly encapsulates the larger issue with modern day society in how multi billion dollar companies like EA, are able to conduct unethical business practises, despite them being entirely unsustainable in the long term.
Though I for one am glad to hear in the news that politicians are actively trying to address these problems through attempting to pass new legislations to help eradicate this problem in the industry.
