[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7457599, member: 37579"] No it wasn't. It was a small minority of unhappy trolls who were vocal online. -edit- Case and point, sales for [I]Mass Effect 3 [/I]were in the 6 million range. Compared to the 4 million for [I]Mass Effect 2[/I]. So a full third of the audience had made ZERO choices from the previous games. And since Mass Effect 1 only sold three million copies, that's half the audience that didn't have all the choices of all three games matter. The hard truth is... most people were casual and likely happily enjoyed the game and moved on. They had no strong feelings one way or another. Don't mistake the protests of a unhappy minority for consensus. The entire third game was the end. It was dealing with the consequences of the prior game. Wasn't that from six years ago? Again, a small number of people whine but most people shrugged and went "I'm online all the time anyway. What's the big deal?" And the game sold a couple million copies and was a huge success. Or.... it could be your views do not reflect those of the majority. And if a meteorite hits their corporate office. Or the CEO is accused of statutory rape of livestock. [I]Battlefield 5[/I] is shaping up to be a predictable hit. But even if it and [I]Anthem[/I] fail Madden and FIFA will keep the company in the black. Omigod.... you mean a corporation acting like a *gasp* business. A publicly traded company trying to make money, like they are required to do by law to satisfy their shareholders. So long as what they're doing makes money, EA will keep doing it. If microtransactions and lootboxes didn't work, they wouldn't do them. They're not a charity. They're not doing this for art or love. They're a business. [/QUOTE]
