A Different Approach

I like it. I get why people don't. If someone wants everything or a certain item it would be annoying. I just remember its a game and it doesn't matter if I don't get it all. There is no point worrying or getting upset about the little things in life.

I am a completionist, especially when it comes to gaming. If I get into a game, I want to be up there with the best. Any game with 'chance' events is geared towards making more money. The fact is, EA already makes more than enough money to keep the game going and still have huge profits. They need more? This is where greed comes in. In the past few years, I have seen EA and other companies shift their games more towards making outrageous amounts of money instead of having a large base of satisfied customers. This ''pay for a CHANCE to get what you want'' is becoming too common, and its really getting old to folks like me who have been gaming for 25+ years. I read about how this game used to be, and I see how it is now. Big difference and definitely heading in the wrong direction. I would have no problem paying a one time fee to buy this game with the chance to actually earn the items that now can only be purchased with donuts. Another option would be a monthly subscription which gives you better rewards from everything and adding ways to earn large amounts of donuts without spending extra. The free players would then still be able to do what they do, and those who spend money would be able to get what they want from it. The company would still make their money, but would also be fair to the players.

Also, I do not consider gaming or spending money to be 'little things in life.' Yeah, I have a life, a job, a girl, a family... but gaming is something I live for, and spending my hard earned money on gaming is something I want to enjoy, not be disappointed every time.
