I said it on Twitter and I'll say it here.
Remove the button. I outright refuse to update my game until at the very least the pulsing is outright gone. The new stuff pack looked like a good time but this has soured any thoughts of getting it now.
Not only is the feature extremely triggering for my Autism and ADHD traits, but it's also disgustingly intrusive.
Could it possibly be worse? Yes, any notion or inkling of playing it off as 'just a bug' rings hollow to the community from what I've seen as a normally silent observer. It's been proven by actions time and time again, it's tiring and disappointing.
Ads going past the Main Menu crossed the line and destroys the gameplay immersion, and this button needs to go.
With the new developments and the emergency patch, I thought I'd weigh in again. - If you are curious about my previous comment it's on page 5. Linked here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Pulsating-Shopping-Button/m-p/13520447#M270905
To start, I stopped giving the benefit of the doubt a long time ago with this game. This button is dead on arrival and the audacity to keep it in after all the backlash is just insane to me. If the pulsing is 100% gone in EVERY capacity that's a good start but it's nowhere near enough to resolve the discontent in the community as a whole on this subject.
Remove the button that absolutely no one asked for. I'm a silent observer 99.9% of the time, but this is one egregious miss-step I and many others are not going to just drop because of a hotfix.
It genuinely clutters the UI also adding to the in-game accessibility nightmare; even without the pulsing it's still intrusive and immersion-breaking in gameplay.
It should not be the modders' responsibility to fix the game's missteps, mistakes and bugs. I really feel for console players who don't have the option of mods.
