Pay to Win

So.. you want cannon fodder. Got it.

Thing is.. freemium games do not provide "queue fillers" with parity capability to you the subscriber, UNLESS they are working the non-sub side of the access model and paying a-la-cart.

True free games do.. but then again.. that's an entirely different business model in the MMO genre... and not actually free.

1) Subscription Only
2) Freemium
3) Free

And NONE of them are FREE. They each have their own specific monetization models that they follow. And generally speaking.. it is the "Free" business model that injects the most problematic P2W components into the game play.

As an investor I am taking my hard-earned money and investing it in EA in hopes that I might make more money than I do on a CD that offer 1/2 a percent interest. But I'll forego dividends and current income in hopes the stock price will rise. It might fall, in which case I will lose part or even all my investment. The point is that I RISK my money to invest in EA hoping they will make a profit and a part of that will pass to me, which I can then use for living expenses in an attempt to stay off the welfare rolls and support myself.

And what I see here is a bunch of clueless people who have no idea whatsoever about how to run a company or program a game who seem to feel they are instant experts on both and entitled to call the shots just because they subscribe for a measly $15 a month, the entitlement generation who want character transfers for free just because they say so.

Now who is the most greedy? The guy who risks his life savings in hopes a company will do well and make a profit? Or the guy who sucks everything they can out of a company claiming profit is a dirty word?

What kind of an investor are you? An average lonely home joe who makes 30k a year? You are dumb for investing if that's the case. On top of it the investors he's talking about are the ones who already made quadruple their profits(AKA millionaires and billionaires, because i highly doubt EA will take the guy who invested a simple 5k and ask for his opinion), Once the fat cats dial it in and make the cash, let the game die off, no more updates, no more support, just dumb pets and a cartel market. For again, more profit that they already made 4 times over.

And also if you invest in EA, you are dirty. You thrive off of killing good IP's. So you should lose your "profits" just based on principles.

These forums are nothing but a Greed Fest of spoiled children who's only refrain is, "I want! I want! I want! And I want for FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Pathetic little buggers.

What absolute and utter nonsense. When I invest in a company I risk my capital. When you subscribe, you risk nothing. Investors are not "dirty" and they are not Bad Guys. And they are not Greedy. People who want everything for free are the greedy ones. These forums are nothing but a Greed Fest of spoiled children who's only refrain is, "I want! I want! I want! And I want for FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Pathetic little buggers.

Don't worry. Soon the entire game will be F2P because there won't be enough subscribers left to even bother with it.

It isn't greed when you supported the game by paying 60$ when the game launches, only to get treated as a player who invested 5 dollars in the cartel market. Now stop acting like you are bigger and more important than everyone else on this forum.
