It just seems like something 00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:05.640 Not that appealing. 00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:07.800 But EA was sitting down at a meeting, 00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:10.500 Doing their quarterly finance, 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.960 And trying to brainstorm ideas on how, to get more money. 00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:18.800 "How can we squeeze more money out of our customer? 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.620 How about we make our own distribution platform, cutting of Steam, 00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:26.560 And making the general experience of accessing our games, 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.940 A giant chore? 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.260 GENIUS!

You get two options. 00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:41.780 But someone did some math and calculated that it took, 00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:48.520 It'll take you 40 hours of gameplay to unlock one hero and that is cutting out all the loading screens, 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:54.680 All the time between matches and the fact that you can't buy any other lootcrates in the meantime. 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.940 You really have to focus 40 hours specifically, 00:03:57.940 --> 00:03:59.960 For that chance to get that hero drop. 00:04:00.260 --> 00:04:03.340 Or you.. you know, you could just pay 20 bucks. *laughs* HUEHUEHUEHE 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.420 I mean it's genius, you know, you have people spend this amount of money already, 00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:09.140 Why not, make them spend more? 00:04:09.380 --> 00:04:11.440 Needless to say, people weren't too happy about this. 00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:13.840 The post uh went viral on Reddit. 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.300 EA then made a response, which uh, you know, was probably the most well crafted, 00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:20.720 Well thought out response of all time. 00:04:20.960 --> 00:04:25.100 Which is why it got 20,000 minus points. 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.280 The most disliked post ever on Reddit. 00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:31.540 Congratulations! 00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:32.780 Let's see what it says 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.920 I don't feel like typing it out so just read the screen c: 00:04:37.760 --> 00:04:40.480 BY SPENDING 40 HOURS!!!!!!! 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.100 WHEN YOU PAY £64 YOU GET A LOT OF THINGS. 00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:53.660 NOT ALL OF THINGS, 00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:55.200 BUT A LOT OF THINGS 00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:57.860 Idk how to subtitle this noise. When you finally nut on No Nut November? 00:05:05.340 --> 00:05:08.140 OR YOU COULD JUST PAY US $20 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:16.180 Here's uh, here's why-or.. uh..my opinon just goes out, in the toilet. 00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:20.540 I agree that lootboxes are terrible. It's a scummy way of practice. 00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:23.380 But if you hate them so much, just don't buy them. 00:05:23.380 --> 00:05:25.100 Just. Don't. Buy. Them. 00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:28.940 They exist for a reason. They exist because people are dumb enough to buy them. 00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:33.480 Now I understand that the concept is that Whales, pretty much as they're called 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.360 People just spend an overload amount of money on the game and that's how they make most of their profit. 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.880 Because they really squeeze out, an insane amount out of certain consumers, 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:48.220 It's not like everyone is buying the lootcrates, it's actually probably a tenth of players that are actually buying them 00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:50.940 But that's enough to justify them existing 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:54.360 And it just overall ruin the experience for everyone playing the game. 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.660 It's not like EA has the best track record. 00:05:57.660 --> 00:05:59.960 I.. I don't see how anyone is surprised by this. 00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:04.060 Do you not remember how many D.. how many DLCs they had for Sims? 00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:05.520 Sims Livin' Large! 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:07.160 Sims House Party! 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:08.040 Sims Hot date! 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:13.400 These were all treated as individual games and expansion packs. And they've been doing this for years. 00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:17.020 And it's not like the the whole practice of gambling isn't.. or.. 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.040 Buying something and not getting quite what you want is.. 00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:25.640 Has never existed before. We practically grow up with it as kids. 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.760 And maybe it's cause i'm not the biggest Star Wars fan ever, but basically, 00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:33.660 EA is holding.. holding the franchise hostage pretty much. 00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:36.220 Yeah just read that.. I'm not typing all that.^^^ 00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:56.840 Now despite what your opinion on the topic is, the memes, 00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:59.100 THE MEMES are very fresh. 00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:00.180 Okay? 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:01.320 They're veary naice (ಥ ͜ʖಥ) 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:03.700 EA's new purposed handheld console. 00:07:03.820 --> 00:07:05.580 I really, I really appreciate this one: 00:07:17.780 --> 00:07:18.280 no homo.. 00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:22.260 How brave.. 00:07:22.260 --> 00:07:23.660 How brave Electronic Arts. 00:07:23.940 --> 00:07:27.820 Now a lot of people got fired back around the controversy as well because 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.360 There was this guy named Bigg Sean claiming to work for EA 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.980 Saying that he got 7 death threats and over 1600 individual personal attacks. 00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:41.180 Now I don't know how you calculate that, like, you can keep up with all, all of them. 00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:44.460 And I don't mean to sound insensitive or anything, but if I made a big deal out of 00:07:44.460 --> 00:07:46.860 Anytime I got a death threat on the internet, 00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:49.300 I wouldn't have time to make videos. 00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:52.320 It's not, death threats on the internet don't mean anything. 00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:53.540 But that's another topic. 00:07:53.820 --> 00:07:56.420 Now a lot of game magazines took it upon themselves to 00:07:56.420 --> 00:08:02.940 Use this as an opportunity to point out how awful gamers are for criticizing the poor game devs. 00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:07.080 When it turns out, there's no confirmation that he actually works for EA. 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:12.700 Uh, most likely he doesn't work for EA, but at the same time who really fu(CHRISTIAN CHANNEL)ing cares? 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.260 At the end of the day, it's Disney and EA. 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.800 Two large companies. 00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:21.020 They're gonna squeeze out as much money as they can. 00:08:21.140 --> 00:08:24.560 What you can do as a consumer is to not buy into it. 00:08:24.760 --> 00:08:29.280 Don't be that, brainless Star Wars fanboy that has to buy all of them 00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:30.740 Just don't buy this one. 00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:34.880 Stop buying lootcrates, refund your games, and stop crying. 00:08:35.420 --> 00:08:36.180 Seriously. 00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:43.680 I found that there's a petition so that the ESRB would declare lootboxes as gambling. 00:08:43.900 --> 00:08:45.580 Which I 100% agree with 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.560 It is a form of gambling 00:08:47.880 --> 00:08:48.640 Umm 00:08:49.260 --> 00:08:51.020 And it should be rated as such. 00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:55.720 It, it, blows my mind that people are surprised that EA and Disney, 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.480 Were somehow trying to squeeze money out of people. 00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:00.340 Like that's never done before. 00:09:00.660 --> 00:09:01.400 Buy Indie games. 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:06.280 You have people working passionately, on their own projects. 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:07.780 Support them instead. 00:09:09.260 --> 00:09:14.920 We have so many options right now, as a gamer.
