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.

League of Legends has a ton of K-Pop references

For those of you who live under a rock League of Legends is one of the worlds largest and most popular multiplayer PC games at the moment. It is backed up by a strong esports community and is especially known to have the best players from Korea. With that being said though, it would be a no-brainer to include K-Pop references in League of Legends. Certain Champions have various skins you can purchase and included with them is their own exclusive dances which ties to a lot of K-Pop music videos. Check out the video below.

Nidhogg 2 Review

Well this time around they heavily improved upon the formula. And one of the most obvious notes is it improved on the graphics quite significantly. Instead of simple 8-bit graphics it seems like it reached to a more 16-bit approach, showing off even more silliness off of the game. From the first Nidhogg you didn't have much customization of your main character. You can add a bunch of silly clothing to him/her according to your taste. I hope they will add more customizations in the near future I like it quite a lot. And one of the more intriguing additions to the sequel is more weapons. Unlike the first you only had a rapier. This one has added a Broadsword, Dagger, and a new ranged weapon, bows. For singleplayer content everything is the same you have to go through 10 levels and win. But I liked knowing they added more detailed levels to keep things interesting. Now for multiplayer, you got regular matchmaking and a newly implemented ranked mode.
