You might just as well say slot machines would not be gambling if you changed them to be 1$ a spin and always return at least 10 cents.

For sure...

You could also say a gamble is still a gamble even if you hit the jackpot.

Another reason not to buy any more of their games ..... seems that all the game makers, with a very few exceptions, are continuing to try to fleece the customer at every turn.

Milk that Star Wars cow baby, milk it good!

Yea, I'm just gonna go back to playing BF2142

The developers have to not only pay the programmers, but now they have to pay the shareholders as well!

Dog Eat Dog world! Greed is the profit of all evil! (Yes, I meant to put it that way!)

Not in the least bit interested.

For me, you only realise just how bad this is when you turn it into days...
If you played the game for four hours a day every day of the year (that's a lot!) it would take you over 3 years to unlock it all.

Do people actually play games like this? Much less "Star Wars" IP anymore? I can't think of any reason I would want to spend money to pretend to be Dark Vader or Luke Skywalken, when I can just do that with a blanky and an old cardboard wrapping paper tube for next to nothing.

4,528 hours or $2100.....

holy ****. And they thought nobody would catch onto this?

I sure hope EA Battlefront II fails hard. This trend is going way too far.

Just knowing EA puts this game out. Makes me stop from buying this game! In fact I stopped buying ES games two years ago!

Their pay2win scheme has finally caught up with them. EA has always been a money hog and likely always will be.

They're one of the greediest game studios in existence. They've completely dropped a ton of their F2P games, including some of their more popular ones, BF F2P and NFS F2P. They wouldn't even give the rights of BF F2P to people who said they would take it over. If they can't make money off of it, no one can.

At this point, still not buying it. What's done is done. Not that I had plans in buying it in the first place. lol

Maybe clicking on "Unwatch topic" might help. I don't know. You don't really looks new around here, so I guess I'm surprised you are having a problem with that.

I think it just shows the last notification, and leaves it there until you get another. I took a look at your profile, and other than here it doesnt look like you've posted anywhere else. Try posting in another forum or article and see if it keeps happening or check your notification settings in Techspot, or maybe even make a post in their Ask a Question forum. I can't help beyond this, if those fail, it must be some form of glitch or bug in their website.

No, only yours, and if it wasn't for the red circle showing up, it wouldn't bother me.... [link] The little red circle has been showing for days. And it's always your post.

Have you checked out Game of War from Machine Zone? THAT'S greed. Every week a new update that requires spending on multiple $99 packs to catch up. What you spent on the previous week becomes completely useless with the new update so you have to spend on multiple $99 packs to get back where you were. Oh, and one small mistake, and someone can wipe out everything you paid for in one second. And yet, MZ keeps putting new updates out and people are stupid enough to throw their money at it just to stay on top. There was one individual who embezzled $4.8 million dollars from his company and spent $1 million on Game of War. Needless to say, the dude is in prison now and has to pay it ALL back.

Try going to your Alert Preferences and uncheck the appropriate boxes.

You guys do realize that a large part of multiplayer games is a progression system, right? The "base game content" is meant to be unlocked by playing the game. It provides a feeling of satisfaction every time you level up and unlock something for playing the game. Keep reading if you want true, personal experience from the game.

I've played the game at this point and it took me 5 games, which averaged 10-15 minutes, to unlock Darth Vader who was 15,000 credits. I've played the game for around 170 hours and I have most of the weapons and cards unlocked FOR FREE. And guess what? The player got a free crate every single day with credits and star cards in it that could even be leveled up already. Even then, in this game you couldn't even unbox heroes from crates, which is what I've heard a lot. That would honestly be ridiculous.

I'm tired of seeing people judge this game and how it works without even playing it or seeing it be played.

Seriously, please look into this yourself if you actually care. On the other hand, if you want to adopt other people's opinions and blindly hate things you know nothing about, get some help.
