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.

My Very Spoilery Star Wars the Last Jedi Review

First of all, no explanation of Snoke. I had a mixed bag feelings for Luke Skywalker. Overall, the look and attitude was there.. But the reasoning and backstory of him after RotJ and onward were questionable. Luke tried to kill Ben Solo because he sensed the darkness within him. Instead of reasoning with young Ben he thought it was a good idea to slice him in half while he was sleeping. Luke saved his own father by showing him the Light side of the force. Why didn't he just talk Ben out of it instead? Very inconsistent. Rey had "NOBODY" parents. Yes, that's right. Nothing on their parents other than them selling her off because they were junkies and needed quick credits. Now, I'll give them a benefit of the doubt.. I wonder if it's still kept under wraps for later episodes. If they were simply nobodies then why didn't they cast her parents in the Force Awakens? In the Force Awakens you only get a glimpse of their ship and never saw their identiti...

Slice, Dice & Rice - Review

Slice, Dice & Rice is a very simple fighting game that reminds me of those SNES games you saw at a Hollywood Video rental store and you looked at the cover and go, "This looks cool but I've never heard of it, maybe I should play it?" You go home and enjoy the eye-popping graphics but you just didn't have fun. It didn't quite exactly sucked but just wasn't blowing you out of the water either. It just wasn't a memorable experience. This is exactly what this game is. The game mechanics are simple. You have 3 attacks and a parry button. You got a vertical, horizontal, and heavy attack. No health bars. One attack and you're dead meat, sucka. First of all, the graphics look super cool and RADICAL, DUDE. I love the flashy graphics and feels very simple to the eyes. However, the gameplay felt very barebones to me and it quickly lost its flavor. Their reasons however is to casualize the fighting game flavor so that more people can access i...
