They'll be like; mission failed, we'll get em next time.

What i like about EA rn is that at least they don't pretend to care anymore, it's just mask off, full on corporate greed.

It's more of a compounded issue. The main reasons people are pissed about this, as far as I can tell from Reddit, are as follows:

1. Putting ads into a game that people already paid AAA price for. This is a relatively new tactic of normalising aggressive monetisation in the AAA space and people are raging like they did when paid DLC for content already on the disk became a thing.

2. They were added AFTER the reviews had gone out and however many people have bought the game, don't need to explain why that is unethical.

3. Combine the previous 2 points with the general feeling of disappointment with the game. It launched with a lot of issues, had more features removed than added (at least ones people cared about) and instead of spending their time correcting those issues they have added advertising to the game. This appears to be the main complaint, as people are taking it as further insult to injury.

I got my copy for free from a mate who hated it, so I haven't lost anything, but if I spent money on it i'd be livid too.

You don't find it a problem now, then just imagine the next step. Full on commercials for loading screens and so on and so forth.

You give them a finger and they'll take the whole arm. Its pretty sad that ruined this game so bad yet were calculating enough to hold off on the ads till the review period was over.

EA gonna EA.

This is a scary thought process. If the majority start implying to companies like EA that they can just shove advertising down our throats what's to stop them from adding advertisements that completely disrupt gameplay?

If the game was free, and more importantly, wasn't riddled with bugs and issues, it's another story. But you shouldn't be seen by a company you just shelled 80 dollars out to as just another head to send ads too.

Straw that broke the camel's back.

Although the back was very much broken at this point
