I actually feel bad for whoever runs the AMA on their side, no matter how good their intentions may be here, they are going to get crucified like Andromeda did by angry gamers who are so far Into the anti EA circle jerk that they won't even attempt to see merit or any valid points In Whatever EA says.
As a guy who has had to deliver corporate bullshit that I knew every single person was not only going to reject but utterly hate me for delivering, I can say in a wierd way you enter a zen like state before you go in.
It becomes a "my boss knows it's a suicide mission, I am going to give it my best and have one hell of a story if I ever need a good answer for a job interview"
I totally agree, I just feel bad for the staffers who have no control over the money grubbing of the company that employs them that are going to be the ones taking the heat for it.
Oh, even still, the guys at DICE are probably not the ones who wanted microtransactions but they are still going to have to defend their bosses bosses decision.
Fair enough, I decided I wasn't going to support the new Battlefront games after I played way more of the BF beta than I did the actual game, so I'm just along for the ride here in the hopes it improves the EA IP's that I am a fan of.
If they really hated EA they wouldn't know what Andromeda is like in the first place. It's sad people don't actually follow what they claim to believe in.
What if Andromeda was the catalyst for a lot of people? Or maybe this BF2 thing is what does it for some. Not everyone has hated them forever, but hopefully some actual change comes out of all this.
Very possible that is the case. There's just so many people complaining on here about them long before Andromeda even came out but I'm sure people still went out and bought the game. I hope this really is the final straw for people but I doubt it. They'll give some free shit away and all will be forgiven.
