Efter att EA initialt proppat Star Wars Battlefront II fullt med mikrotransaktioner som retade gallfeber på folk och dessutom gjorde level-systemet onödigt segt och kom, har det gått utför försäljningsmässigt. Eftersom EA just nu tycks mata på med mikrotransaktioner i alla sina spel, har många undrat ur det kommer vara i det kommande Anthem. Om vi får tro Wedbush Securities-analytikern Michael Pachter har EA dock lärt sig läxan och kommer satsa på snällare lösningar i det spelet:
"So the question for Anthem is, will EA screw it up like with Star Wars?. Or will they follow the Overwatch and Destiny roadmap, where the actual game is fun to play and the payments are ancillary? Because where they got into trouble with Star Wars was in making it pay to win. Had they limited themselves to purely cosmetic items, I don't think anyone would have said anything. So Anthem has the potential to be Destiny like in terms of game experience, and Overwatch like in terms of microtransactions offered, where it's all cosmetic and no one bats an eye.
I think right now EA is on probation with gamers. I think everyone is watching everything they do. I don't think they can afford to put an onerous microtransaction scheme in any game going forward, they need to re-earn gamers' trust again. So I hope they are sobered by this experience, and learn from it. But I think they are smart people, so I am sure they will do the right thing going forward. We'll see."
Tror du EA kommer repetera misstaget med Anthem, eller har poängen gått fram? Anthem släpps senare i år till den sedvanliga trojkan; PC, Playstation 4 och Xbox One.
