Some players say EA has already gone too far with microtransactions in their new football game.
One way of building your team is to buy packs with in-game currency or real money, but for many the £30 Elite Season Opener pack is already a step too far.
The pack includes 45 rare Gold players rated 80+, one Player Pick Loan Hero rated 76 or higher, and one Player Pick Loan Hero rated 88 or higher.The high price and inclusion of so many Gold players has already caused some to call it a pay-to-win game.Another noted, ‘The main problem is that people keep buying these packs. But there will always be someone buying them and the fear of missing out drags the rest.
‘I don’t understand how gambling like this is legal, this game has an PEGI age rating of 3+, and it has gambling.’‘We wholeheartedly believe that Ultimate Team and FUT Packs, which have been part of the game for more than a decade, are a part of FIFA that players love – fans love that the game reflects the real-world excitement and strategy of building and managing a squad. Giving players the choice to spend if they want to is fair.
Buying packs or loot in games generates a substantial amount of money for EA and other publishers, so unless there’s legislation against it – as there is in some countries – it’s not going anywhere.To submit Inbox letters and Reader’s Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourNintendo talks mergers and acquisitions as it hints at Switch 2
