Can't stop losing games

Dear friend,

I know it’s not easy, but you have to try not to take it too hard. Unfortunately, you’re just another victim of EA’s sneaky, manipulative policies. Their hated and utterly disgusting scripting, which they justify as a "metric to make the game more engaging", is really just a cash grab. It pushes FUT players into buying packs to improve their teams, which, mysteriously, never seem to perform well enough to advance. All of this flies in the face of the majority of players, leaving them angry, frustrated, and tense, exactly the opposite of what a video game is supposed to do: entertain and relax. Sadly, when money is involved, ethics whether social or moral, are thrown right out the window.

Some call it "momentum," others "DDA," and others simply "scripting," but the label doesn’t matter. The reality is the same: the FC series, including the latest FIFA, isn’t about skill or meritocracy. We all keep playing because we’ve invested money and cling to the false hope that this disaster will be fixed with the "next update." Deep down, though, we know we’re lying to ourselves. The almighty dollar rules everything, and nothing will change at EA.

The only real hope is for a competitor to rise up and crush EA and its practices, but right now, that’s just a pipe dream. The only alternative, PES, has been dead for years, having fallen asleep at the wheel in classic Konami style. Arrogantly assuming it would always reign supreme in soccer gaming, it was brought down by its own inflated ego.

This is the fate that awaits EA, plagued by the same arrogance, but not now, not today. In the meantime, they’ll keep lining their pockets...
