About Jasper being a Premium character...

It's a freemium game. Premium items are a part of that. That's how they make money. You wouldn't have this game with the support it has, if they didn't make money continually then this game would be dead in the water without updates.

Nobody says you have to buy the premium items. They are optional and I think it's embellishing to say that 'all the cool characters' are premium. They are not. In fact, most of the premium characters despite a few are very minor characters who have big fan bases but still don't appear that often.

EA does overcharge for premium items. I won't argue that but this game is not hiding anything. If you don't want to play a freemium type game then don't but I fail to see how you can argue that the entire idea is flawed when it makes them millions.

1.) This is EA. It's not an Indie publisher that's desperate for money. EA is one of the richest AND most hated companies in the video game world, this is just one of the reasons.

2.) Exactly. They overcharge. If this game were $60 and included everything for in-game currency only, then I'd probably consider buying it, even though THAT'S pretty expensive for what this game is.

Charging $10+ for a single digital character is robbery, considering $10-$15 will buy you a map pack or something for a game on your 360/PS3.
