Hope enough EA Sports/2K sports gamers become aware of these predatory practices and stop buying the same filth year after year.,(reply>), @maethorechannen Unfortunately I think you are correct. Shame that certain part of the gamer population is dragging down the rest with them.,(reply>), I think they are aware and that they just don't care. "Loot boxes" (ie, trading cards) have been a part of sports fandom for over a hundred years. And most sports gamers are sports fans first (which is why they willingly pay year after year for more or less the same game with updated player rosters and stats as it's important to them - if it was just about the game they wouldn't even need real player rosters and stats).<br><br><br>I have a sneaking suspicion that most people who hate microtransactions in sports games to the point where government intervention sounds like a good idea don't actually play sports games and that a lot of this is blowback from what EA did with Star Wars (and the other loot box creep in non sports).
