Forum: microtransactions have to stop

EA also charges more for the game and the DLC in england. it's pretty dire. 

to clarify:

that's 144 to buy the game with a season pass and 144 to buy it with all the content.

Bastian,

Thank you for responding. I'd edit the name if I knew how to include season passes and other "expansion packs" that are part of my original post.

If you look at Battlefronts I and II they were completely well thought out games with competitive gameplay and game modes that made the games irresistible. They had Campaigns, they had Galatic Conquest, Battlefront II had the Mos Eisley Hero vs. Villains battle, all things not in Battlefront III, even as DLC. These were what made the game phenomenal, but they aren't in the game now. It's $110 for all of the game. Expansion packs are not extra material from the game, they're material parts of the game that should have been in the original copy. I don't care if it means waiting longer for a complete game, but all of your gaming customers are tired of getting the incomplete gaming experience.

It's abusive to make an expansion pack of half of the game in order to charge buyers MORE money to get the game that they paid $60 for and makes EA non-competitive with companies like Bethseda that do not offer these highway half games. It also undermines all the efforts of your development team to go and split the game up like this and enrage the clientele to the point where we are backlashing their game, not for what they did or did not do, but for what YOU did on the marketing side.

In addition, @SuperAvnas did nothing wrong. I asked others what their inputs were about this game so that you can see that it is more than just me that is dissatisfied with this.

@IHateNBoyCottEA you can absolutely share your opinion about the game or the content in the game included. So what I read is that your major concern is that there is simply not enough or the right content at launch to validate that you have to pay for additional aka extended content later one which should be in the game from the start. That is hard to argue at everyone has his own expectations about specific content and it's importance. As an example, a lot of today basic game modes where included in expansions for Battlefront II while people have not got a full inside about all our content such our missions. In fact, if you compare especially the base games the amount of maps and game modes for multiplayer or coop/offline gameplay which come with SW:Battlefront is not that small. Still, while it is not our job to tell you if you are right or wrong about the content you want to see in your favorite game, we will value your opinion and it is an important factor for us in our sentiment reports to know what the community wants and how they feel about our game. 

And @SuperAvnas concerns are not the issue as we got already an answer in a different topic and the pricing which may vary by region is just not on-topic with the general valuation of paying for content in general.

Cheers
Basti

I want it to change also. It's so boring when I have to pay for more microtransactions. I want it change because I want to play a game and not pay for things(maybe its because I don't have a credit card) but still I get really angry when a game dev wants more money from me.
