The paid reviews, the microtransactions, twitch and broken games have really fucked up the gaming industry. I won’t say ruined because it’s actually more popular than ever, but it’s not as “romantic” so to speak or artistic.
I don’t feel bad for either party. EA has been shitting on the industry too long and players have been eating it up for just as long. I don’t understand why people can’t wait a few days after a game drops to see how it is before they spend their money.
If they didn’t refund Anthem. Especially after justifying themselves saying there would be future content releases only to drop support entirely… then you won’t be getting money back for this game either.
For me this is my first shit EA purchase so shame on them lol. This game is really bad. I had hi hopes but it is not good at all. The menus like for key bindings is a fucking mess and it’s horribly optimized.
It shouldn’t get to the point of even demanding a refund. Stop giving them money. Don’t pre-order. Stop impulse buying and believing the initial paid-for reviews. Expect them to fuck you in the ass while reaching into your wallet. They will not change their business practice until you stop giving them the cash. Stop hoping they will magically improve out of the blue. Hype is cancer.
Lower your expectations so you are pleasantly surprised when things go well and not heart-broken when they don’t.
This is why you don’t preorder. Time and time again has proven it but people just love shelling out the money to the big companies that don’t give a shit.
This should be a $60-70 lesson learned. Getting refunded should be something to fall back on. If a publisher doesn’t come through and wants to be the good guy or save face, then that’s good for them, but now you’ve set precedent
While I do not condone the state of which the game was released, people did have betas to try. Close to launch. And they did and saw the state of the game and many just thought “ye this sucks but I’ll still preorder it” instead if waiting till launch and see if they fixed it and then they just look at it with a surprised Pikachu face.
That’s just dumb especially since they could play it and if not, they could see the state of the game in a million vids on YouTube
Sry to break it to you. You ain’t getting any refund, ea doesn’t give a shiit. Theyll just make up some shut saying they plan on supporting the game for next 100 years so your 100 bucks is worth it.
Doesn’t matter if it’s right or not. It’s not going to happen. There are middlemen involved for all systems who deal with the sale of the game and get a portion of that sale. Any refund has to fall within the middleman’s refund policy…EA is scum. Stop buying their products as preorder or even the first week or two from launch. Wait for user reviews not just YouTube reviewers
Please let this happen I bought it day 1, played it for two matches was so disappointed I uninstalled it and I’ve honestly forgotten about it now but I would love to get my cash back
What do you mean they deserved a refund ? The beta was a literal disaster and the gameplay trailers looked damn awful and you guys decided to buy it anyway.
I bought a xbox S thinking I had 14 days to exchange it and upgrade. You do. Unless you shop at gamestop. Which I’ll never do again after 20 years of being a customer they told me “you used it for 1 week” and I said “ok but you and everyone didn’t have the better one and dick and balls doesn’t run Halo so… and they said well we offer a 135$ cash.
Sure, you can say that, but you shouldn’t need an entire federated trust system just to not get taken advantage of.
You don’t go out to a new restaurant and watch everyone eat and then digest their food, verifying no one gets sick. You just trust that laws and common decency means you get a decent plate of fucking food for $60 at a place that used to serve 5 star meals no less.
I agree with your point that people shouldn’t pre order everything, but I also think it should be illegal to flat out trick people into doing business with you.
Shocker, EA made another trashy game….and I fell for it again
Soooooo two days ago
Why so? I’m not into this game
Does anybody know whether this trainwreck of a game was pushed to release despite major concerns during beta by EA? Or by DICE themselves?
The paid reviews, the microtransactions, twitch and broken games have really fucked up the gaming industry. I won’t say ruined because it’s actually more popular than ever, but it’s not as “romantic” so to speak or artistic.
I’m playing it right now. Kinda fun tbh.
I asked for a refund. I didn’t get it.
Broke ass mother Fuckers. Easy to make that money back within a day
On one hand, people should totally get a refund for buying a broken product. On the other hand, people need to look before they leap.
Wait to read a review before spending your money something that a multimillion dollar ad campaign swears is great.

Me who hasn’t played a single EA game for a decade: *Inner Peace*
Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue, blue sky
They dont. They fed that trash company for years and they reapped what they sow.

EA: It’s NOT in the Game.
While I do not condone the state of which the game was released, people did have betas to try. Close to launch. And they did and saw the state of the game and many just thought “ye this sucks but I’ll still preorder it” instead if waiting till launch and see if they fixed it and then they just look at it with a surprised Pikachu face.

I’d sure like to refund it, I haven’t even launched the game yet, and I dont really plan to.

I’m still liking the game.
I shall accept your downvotes.
I thought that it was received fairly positively. Can someone tell me what happened?
Stop pre-ordering digital titles. Simple.
They don’t, they knew damn well not to preorder.

Haha umm no.
Stop pre ordering games ffs
Nah, bullshit. Every had the opportunity to see exactly how the game is before release, and they still had 2 weeks to refund after release.
Those who still pre-ordered it and played it past the refund policy deserve what they got.
People need to stop pre ordering for a beta
Thanks to EA, I don’t preorder anything anymore. Period. Glad I didn’t buy this hot garbage fire of a game.
What was wrong with it. I’ve never played a battlefield game btw
If we want better games then, then we need to stop buying the bad ones.
If we want to stop buying the bad ones, we need to better identify which ones are bad.
You can’t identify a bad game by purchasing it before its released, its that simple.
You’d think that at some point it would become the customer’s fault for falling for this shit for a decade.
Am I the only one that actually likes this game?
Stop buying questionable titles from questionable publishers and you might not have this issue
Well, well, well, that was fun.
war Russia and Ukraine ?
Because the game is trash
Got my refund day after I bought the game. Didn’t take long to realize that the game is hot garbage.
To everyone saying the gamers deserve it:
Sure, you can say that, but you shouldn’t need an entire federated trust system just to not get taken advantage of.

After roguelike, mmorpg, battle royale and open world, the new trending of games seems to be Refund.
