@@justayoutubeuser8652 There's a lot of really good games out there not made by EA. If we just stopped buying from them they might get desperate and make something worth playing.
@Filthy Light There is NO demand for Pay-to-win. The problem is the people that willingly buy into it. For instance the FIFA players. Not only do they willingly buy the games every year when some are literally just re-skins of the previous game, but there are enough people that will invest in the pay-to-win to allow EA to keep doing it, even though most FIFA players hate it. And even though over 90% of the players hate it, those 90% won't stop buying the game every year. So why would EA stop? The mad fans still give them money, and a smaller percentage of fans give them even more money...its win-win for them. EA won't stop until people STOP buying their games. And people won't, FIFA is the most popular game in the world.
It was probably so big and so blown that it any worth doing, I'm guessing everyone knows how that went down. Probably also wanted to point out the smaller less generally known stuff too. They have done a looooot of crappy things....
Nobody: Literally nobody: EA: *makes a loot crate that has 0.01% chance of getting the good stuff in a fully-paid game EA: “Why do you hate us so much?”
Don't forget about how in The Sims 4, you have to buy features like weather, acne on teens, laundry, apartments, pets, etc. Most games now have stuff like weather, animals, etc. as base game features way before The Sims 4 even started development. Even Forza, a racing game, has weather.
You should do another list of scummy things EA did. Like attempting, initially, to challenge Belgiums microtransaction ban. EA did give up, but the fact they even ttied standing up to a countries government is a whole new level of avarice.
I think we forgot the worst one... EA play. EA: “I’m gunna let you pay me, just so I can let you pay me AGAIN at discount. I’m so humble to extend my generosity... here at EA... we care about your money...errr *our players!”
I am so happy to see this information collected in one location. There is no question that every gamer has been burned by EA at some point. The worst part is that the company seems to be aware of the sentiment but doesn't care to make any changes. For example, their newest NCAA Football game will be the same game it was in 2014.
I remember since I was a kid (90's kid) I always loved when I saw that EA games logo when I would start a game, but it seems you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Only a few weeks after its release, I bought the special edition of Hellgate: London with a Lifetime subscription on DISK (which I still have) which is still working in single player mode, but doesn't even update to the latest patch anymore.

Hellgate: London (2007) is still one of my favorites. The atmosphere, the class design, the story. It could have been a great series. The Hellgate: London (2018) on Steam is not the same game, it's an update of Hellgate: Global which was the original game turned into a Korean F2P MMO... So, why is that bad? Because the Korean F2P demographic tends to have cheaper hardware with less power to push graphics. As a result, the '18 game has worse graphics that are blurry, the '07 game can use DX10, the '18 version only uses DX 9.

It's funny seeing the more expensive loot boxes in apex and as someone that still plays that game, realizing that the events still work in that same way
I'll bet in the near future people will look back at all this DLC and loot box shit and say "they put gambling in kids games?" And we'll be like "Well yeah if you put it that way it sounds really bad."
See the problem here is the tactics EA uses. There's nothing wrong with a company that makes money for what they do...that's what a company does. However, when said company willfully and intentionally builds Skinner Boxes in order to get kids gambling...now, we have a problem. When they intentionally build games that are actually damaging an entire generation of children for profits, they need to be called out. Before you make the statement "parents...blah, blah, blah." EA has essentially flown under the radar of the ESRB. You know, the actual ratings board designed to help parents decide what is okay for their children. EA's practices with their loot boxes, surprise mechanics, and pay for random chance is illegal, full stop. Every single game they make should be pulled from the market (every with pay for play schemes) and rated AO. Some states were going after EA just before COVID 19 hit and when it's finally over I suspect they will continue going after them.
I actually LIKE the ME DLC. Not pinnacle station, no, but Overload, Lair of the Shadow Broker and the Citadel DLC where all awesome. My only real complaint is From Ashes should have been part of the game, not DLC. That story stuff is plot essential, noone should have had to pay for that.
One of the most annoying cash grabs that game companies do is when they offer a season pass, only to find out that the season pass one buys is for season one with other seasons coming out over time. One blaring example is the latest Soul Calibur game that has multiple season passes, each one broken up so that one can buy dlcs piecemeal. And a lot of the things offered in each one include costume pieces that were unlockable in older games with normal playthrough. If one does not buy the dlc, there is no way to use said costume pieces. And the pieces still do not form well on many characters as the body parts still phase through the pieces, or seemingly float as they do not conform to any body well. The stages of that one have some of the worst in the game, the story mode is worse than the last (and the last one was pretty bad), and the new characters are cheap generic ripoffs of popular anime characters with popular playable characters no longer in the game.
This is just of the reasons why studios bought out by EA get ran to the ground and die. EA sees a studio that's doing decent then comes in buys out the studio and the proceeds to milk it for all it's worth into the ground eventually killing the studio.

Hellgate: London (2007) is still one of my favorites. The atmosphere, the class design, the story. It could have been a great series. The Hellgate: London (2018) on Steam is not the same game, it's an update of Hellgate: Global which was the original game turned into a Korean F2P MMO... So, why is that bad? Because the Korean F2P demographic tends to have cheaper hardware with less power to push graphics. As a result, the '18 game has worse graphics that are blurry, the '07 game can use DX10, the '18 version only uses DX 9.
imagine in darksoul :To resurrect your char you need a 20$ worth holly water
Please no...
pay to resurrect. . or wait 6 hours.
f2p always has timers and then you pay to skip the timers
I love how he complains about romantic stuff pack when my first pet stuff pack is literally dlc for dlc
It’s hilarious that there’s a top 10 list but a top 50 list could be possible
The lawnmower feature was just a small scale test. The test being: lets see if we can piss in the consumers face and get them to say thank you :)
3:42 - Ahhh, yes, Battlefront 3, my favorite game...
#1: the literal ENTIRETY of ea sports
I’m so bored of these games recently man:(
Same all I play rn is apex, I don't play anything on the ps5 rn.
Im having more fun reading research articles... Than most video games in today's age
@@roberttramone9967 😂😂same tell me why I had more doing research for class than playing CYBERPUNK
@@jacoblopez373 tbh i liked cyberpunk because i remember new vegas which could randomly drop to a framerate of three frames per minute. Kids these days are picky af... Im just glad cyberpunk CRASHED instead if forcing that. But dude want an article on the befits of crying!! (Its the last thing in my history)
@@roberttramone9967 yea ikwym I literally got an Xbox one x last year in April b4 I had the 360 but it’s just expectations even I SET them too high for this game man haha. But an article for crying? Sure bro I’m down to read that
I am giving this a like just for the title.
It's funny seeing the more expensive loot boxes in apex and as someone that still plays that game, realizing that the events still work in that same way
Great video. RIP John Madden btw. Legendary coach, announcer, and face of one of the biggest video game franchises of all time.
Only 10? Must have been hard to reduce all of then into such a short list. Respect for the hard work.
The audio is very poor quality for me. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yep. poor audio
No
You forgot to buy the gameranx TH-cam pass for only $9.99 which offers crisper audio and balanced harmonies
Battle front 2 has to be here.
3:41
He said battlefront 3
Apparently battlefront 1 and 3 were here lol
All of battlefront 2? Or what because I have bf2 it's a pretty good game
@@Royc29 It’s a good game now. At the beginning it was horrible with pay 2 win.
Trp Account how is it pay to win I've won a lot of games without paying for anything other then bf2 the game
I'll bet in the near future people will look back at all this DLC and loot box shit and say "they put gambling in kids games?" And we'll be like "Well yeah if you put it that way it sounds really bad."
It should be "Games where EA didn't rip us off"
I can guarantee you you won't find a single one
You can make a whole top 10 on how a company is shamelessly making people spend there money...wow
See the problem here is the tactics EA uses. There's nothing wrong with a company that makes money for what they do...that's what a company does. However, when said company willfully and intentionally builds Skinner Boxes in order to get kids gambling...now, we have a problem. When they intentionally build games that are actually damaging an entire generation of children for profits, they need to be called out.
Before you make the statement "parents...blah, blah, blah." EA has essentially flown under the radar of the ESRB. You know, the actual ratings board designed to help parents decide what is okay for their children. EA's practices with their loot boxes, surprise mechanics, and pay for random chance is illegal, full stop. Every single game they make should be pulled from the market (every with pay for play schemes) and rated AO. Some states were going after EA just before COVID 19 hit and when it's finally over I suspect they will continue going after them.
@@Sinn0100 very educational thank you for the explanation mate💯
@@Sinn0100 and I hope they do keep going after them they deserved to be bankrupted
They would charge you for thinking about creating an origin account if they could
EA: where devs go to die
Where studios and fan favorites go to die.
Bioware
@@alexfarrell3250 DICE, Westwood, Bioware
I actually LIKE the ME DLC. Not pinnacle station, no, but Overload, Lair of the Shadow Broker and the Citadel DLC where all awesome. My only real complaint is From Ashes should have been part of the game, not DLC. That story stuff is plot essential, noone should have had to pay for that.
The best one is by far :surprise mechanics that are quite ethical and quite fun
Here before I see battlefront 2 launch on here lol
HOLY SHIT ITS NOT ON THERE
WOW I’m honestly shocked you were wrong, i was completely expecting it too
EA once used to mean the game was going to be good 😂 sadly people only know them for being the worst company in gaming now.
EA just bought Codemasters and F1 franchise will be messed up that’s for sure.
Yep! They plan on releasing a game every year :l
It's magical how increasingly pissed falcon gets throughout the video
One of the most annoying cash grabs that game companies do is when they offer a season pass, only to find out that the season pass one buys is for season one with other seasons coming out over time. One blaring example is the latest Soul Calibur game that has multiple season passes, each one broken up so that one can buy dlcs piecemeal. And a lot of the things offered in each one include costume pieces that were unlockable in older games with normal playthrough. If one does not buy the dlc, there is no way to use said costume pieces. And the pieces still do not form well on many characters as the body parts still phase through the pieces, or seemingly float as they do not conform to any body well. The stages of that one have some of the worst in the game, the story mode is worse than the last (and the last one was pretty bad), and the new characters are cheap generic ripoffs of popular anime characters with popular playable characters no longer in the game.
Just do a 10 second clip, screaming "EAAAAA"
When he calls the battlefield games battlefront
There's a difference? Though it was a skin pack DLC /s
the pain
Dude got a new microphone and now his voice sounds completely different
This is someone else pretending to be Falcon. I have no proof, but I also have no doubts.
This is just of the reasons why studios bought out by EA get ran to the ground and die. EA sees a studio that's doing decent then comes in buys out the studio and the proceeds to milk it for all it's worth into the ground eventually killing the studio.
The prices for a sims 4 dlc speaks for itself
