EA has been increasingly anti-consumer for years, notably through the proliferation of microtransactions, loot box mechanics, “Season Passes”, and half-finished base games with expensive DLC “expansions.” Highly unpopular brand, despite their commercial success.
- datavirtue 4y agoWorld of Tanks copies all that goofy stuff. Having been on the game for 12 years, I just ignore that stuff. They are free to play but have crap tons of loot box and season pass hoopla. I use the "free to play" term loosely. I have spent a lot more money on that game than any other I have ever played, and I'm not a big spender by any means.
