"EA planning microtransactions for 'all of our games'"

Breaking update: EA still sucks serious stinky shit straight from Satan's sphincter through a swirly straw.

Aside from The Sims, with which I fully admit that they already have their hooks well into me, I will be sticking with my intention of not buying any future EA games at all. And even with The Sims, I ignore the obnoxious in-game store bullshit they started adding in with later expansion packs and patches and such, even though they try to make it as in-your-face as they possibly can. It's bad enough that they charge $40 for expansion packs every three months or so lately, not to mention the so-called "stuff packs" which I completely ignore as well. Ugh. -_-

EA? Who are they again?

Oh there they are. At the bottom of my boycott list.

<inserts obligatory rant in lamentation of all the good smaller companies that have been annihilated by EA over the years here (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/495575.html)>

Seriously though, I go back and I read that post... and then I look at what has been happening to BioWare (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/tag/bioware) right now, before our very eyes... and it makes me want to punch a fucking wall. *grinds teeth and sighs wearily*
