Preview of a video that will be made live later today or tomorrow. we've been trying to come up with a better title, but we're coming up dry so far. 

We'll be back later after eating, and passing out. Anyone see any fixes or last minute changes that are needed?

Happy turkey day everyone!

I paid and watched the video without believing the pause. What do I get? 😁

"Festering infection" - that pretty much sums up the whole situation!

I'll probably copy this over to the forum once it goes live but.. yeah. I know this is going to be a controversial topic, but I gotta say about the gambling... In my eyes yes it's absolutely gambling. Gambling doesn't imply that you're going to get actual money back. In this case the gambler is getting a different reward. Now I gotta say I don't have condemn them for wanting money, they are a company, they need to make money to make their shareholder happy. And as long as it's not giving any actual advantages in the game... idc, whatever, noone has to buy it (even though gambling can be an addiction yadayadayada, not the point here). But if players get actual advantages in game (especially multiplayer, because who cares if someone gets advantages in single player right) it's just wrong, and that's exactly what EA did. People have been shitting a lot on Blizzard for the Overwatch lootboxes too, but they are purely cosmetic. Besides you can buy that stuff for funny-money you earn too (even though it takes forever for an event skin). Now of course that stuff is possible to buy in Battlefront 2 as well, but the amount of time it takes to earn it is just ridiculous, noone has time for that and noone will play it long enough to see the end. That system was clearly designed as an incentive to spend the money.

I think this could actually be regulated in a way. Games are rated for kids or for adults or whatever, right? Games with any kind of in-game option to buy stuff with real money or currency that you can buy for real money should be rated for adults only and additionally should be visibly marked. That would not stop the thing from happening altogether but it might hurt sales. Disney would not be pleased with such a rating for example. And yes, it is gambling. You are paying money for a chance to get something of value. If that is real value in dollars or not doesn’t matter. Oh, and I would like for EA to be called Evil Assholes from now on.

@Christian Nönken you probably read about this already but that's exactly what they're thinking of in Belgium and the Netherlands right now.

What, calling EA Evil Assholes? GREAT! :D I actually didn't read about it a lot, just new that they wanted to take a look at what they could do.
