Want to revoke EA's Star War's License? Sign this Massive Petition

My face when I realized there's thousands of people who signed it already

For those of you who are unaware, In 2013 EA has partnered with Disney to develop Star Wars video games. However, EA's newest Star Wars game Battlefront II has hit a HUEG-MONGOUS controversy where their entire content of progression has heavily relied on pay to win mechanics.

It was more popularized on /r/StarWarsBattlefront when they realized you can become better at someone else in the game by buying loot crates in-game with real cash.You can however earn credits by playing but compared to purchasing loot crates in the game it will be a lot quicker for people who purchased it which isn't fair. If Battlefront 2 was free I'd be ok with it but the game has a massive 60 dollar pricetag.

Now they're taking it a step further by introducing a change.org petition and as of this writing they're at 65K.

If you want revoke EA's license (which I hope you do) please do so over here.

My thoughts? I'm glad they're removing this trash. They think they can milk these Star Wars nerds dry with this scummy practice. And yes, I've heard the whole shtick of, "If you don't like it don't buy it" bullshit. No, just no.

If someone is going to vote with their wallet the person who purchases 1,000 dollars worth of loot crates.. That's 1,000 votes against one person who didn't purchase a 60 dollar game.

It's simply ruining the fun for the rest of us and if it continues it can worsen the gaming community. Imagine every game will be free to play.. B-BUT WAIT. But everything locked behind randomized RNG content, specifically better items and equipment. That is not fun at all.

If Disney does get pissed off about it I wonder who else they would sell the Star Wars license to? Anyone who won't milk it as hard as EA that's for sure.

Change.org's petition to revoke EA's Star War's license.

My Top Ten Favorite Games of 2017

10.  Comedy Night (PC) Comedy Night is a game I almost didn't recommend because it felt more like a heavily relied social game experiment. You can sing, debate, and obviously make some jokes to spit on the mic with other users. Game exploded at launch and the developer is highly active on the game. Great to fucking around with people and just socialize in. On top of that it's cheap. 9.  Sky Rogue  (PC) Sky Rogue is your basic flight sim arcade game however has some very attractive low-poly visuals and procedurally generated missions. On top of that, has Steam Workshop to download other peoples aircrafts. I've downloaded Raiden aircrafts to the X-Wing. Great replay value at a decent price. Just got out of Early Access on Steam too. 8.  Iron Crypticle  (PC) A simple arcade game that's reminiscent of Robotron and Smash TV. You're an armored hero going through procedurally generated dungeons destroying an onslaught of baddie. The visuals ...

Orbiz Review

These based Developers located in Indonesia AnomanStudio gave me a free spankin' new Steam copy of Orbiz. Truly a blessing among souls. Thank you cuties. Muah. FUCK NO. Give me all the seizures that I can get, Orbiz. Now anyways, onto the game here. Orbiz is a game with rogue-like elements that has an optional local co-op multiplayer madness while fending off a plethora of really annoying zombies . Each level is a cutely small world filled with these zombies and it's your duty to destroy them all. Kill zombies, destroy the number amount of spawners needed to stop the zombie onslaught and enter the portal to go on to the next level. Simple? No way in fucking hell. Story goes is that 4 high school kids, and one of them named Leo gets a hold of a book called Orbiz. The curious teens check out the book and suddenly they're thrown in an oddly weird Universe filled with a shitton of zombies and planets. Bad kids. First and foremost what I like about the gam...
