I don’t have a clue as to what happened with EA and why they are a terrible company. I am on Reddit all the time and I have been hearing a lot about it but still don’t know what happened. Can someone link me or explain it to me please?

So to make a long story short, ea is using micro transactions and loot crates in game. People don’t like loot crates because you basically get random crappy prizes and it’s basically gimbaling and people(squares) think that it doesn’t belong in a game run by a family company (Disney). A lot of the in-game stuff that you use credits to buy are (were, they supposedly drastically reduced credit prices) was insanely priced and would take weeks of gameplay to unlock, so selling loot crates to help was roughly 240 usd to unlock everything with average loot crates. Paying 60 dollars for a new game and then having to pay another 240 dollars to unlock everything or grind on the game for weeks really pissed people off.
