- raincole 1y agoWait until you see how much people spend on mobile gacha! Well we don't need to wait long. I think the history book will say this EA acquisition is the point PC gaming market becomes as predatory as mobile.
- thiago_fm 1y agoI have many friends that spent $10K+. Some see it as an investment as you can flip things. It's a digital market, NFT-esque, sold as a game.
- mohsen1 1y agoI'm just wondering how much more predatory FC (formerly FIFA) can get? I already feels like it's owned by a private equity! Maybe they will limit how many minutes you can play before having to pay more?!
- chuckadams 1y agoFor a moment, I thought you were saying they bought FIFA itself. Which doesn't seem out of the question, FSM knows they're for sale in every other way.
- thiago_fm 1y agoFIFA the game, I guess this comes with the context of it being EA. Maybe this will be part of a bigger acquisition... or maybe they have already acquired everything they could, except that they don't want make FIFA look like a bad saudi organization?
- csomar 1y agoGiven that they are getting the 34 cup, then yes? They did buy fifa?
- piperswe 1y agoFIFA controls a lot more than just video game naming rights...
