New Pop-up gear bundle

I get it, you are looking for new ways to entice spending. I don’t have a problem with that. What is very irritating is getting the stupid pop-up every five minutes. If I want it, I’ll buy it, you don’t need to spam me with it!!!

    I bought the crate and then didn’t recieve any of the gear, purchase went through and nothing, just went to Home Screen.
    Think the is 9.99, just to get rid of the pop up


    You get the gear just not the pack opening


    That is a terrible way really. You should be having a notification. Just having it pop up in character gears without any notice is pretty bad.

    i've heard you can get rid of it by going to settings and turning off targeted advertising


    It will only turn off targeted ads, they can/will still give pop ups for other things they want to sell you

    To their credit, EA/CG don't bombard us with in game ads/pop ups like a lot of other games which is pretty surprising tbh.


    Those games have sponsors this one doesn’t


    Fair point. But this one is made by a $23 billion dollar company. It was also advertised as 'The highest grossing RPG' on the Play store for a long time (I was actually quite impressed they had the audacity to tout that on their FTP game). Point is, it's hardly doing badly and doesn't need to force feed advertisements to remain profitable.

    My guess? They'll spam us with this for a short while and then give us a paid option to remove ads. I think odds on that are probably better than odds on getting more than the minimum drop on a card.

    Hell, I can see them moving to a subscription model where we'll have to keep paying to remove the annoyance they've created.

    You heard it here first!

    You can get rid of the hyperdrive bundle icon


    By spending $99.99 US plus tax?

    No. Still popping up. It's awful.

    Almost as annoying as someone bumping every thread on the subject.


    Nope. How is your post helping? Not at all.
