BioWare's Casey Hudson On Anthem's Microtransactions

[McCann-foun]

EA: Praise us for us cutting back on loot boxes and microtransactions now that we were busted for absolutely pushing our luck with them previously. Thanks

[OzOsgood]

Bioware and Bethesda. My two favorite game developers betraying my loyalty and love with multiplayer. My heart breaks. Thank God for CDPR!

“How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!?”

[TheIceLurker]

First make a complete, solid game. Worry about microtransactions after.

[YusufAhmed]

The witcher 3 did DLC perfectly.Why don't you learn from them. They released polished huge 10gb+ expansions after many months, introducing new areas, monsters and story elements to the game for an affordable price.

This was the most diplomatic way of sugarcoating dog shit and trying to sell it like it would be a cake.

[leonthesleepy]

Guaranteed season passes and Story DLC with a short main story

[Razzlion]

Seeing how easy it was for EA to remove and then add MTX's back in Star wars, i don't even care at this point.
Would not surprise me if in two months after release they start messing with it.

[BigWillTheThrill]

Apparently people aren't paying attention. Cosmetics can be earned in game. All micro transactions are up front, no random roll lootboxes. Nothing will be sold that affects ballance or game play.

This guy kinda looks like Zachary Quinto

[goranmitic]

so he put grunt"s head on a spike behind him and no comments about that.

[rezanabavi]

Translation : we will release a bare bone game for full price and later on, we will add to it

[JA]

I don't trust EA- I don't trust Bioware. I'm not buying.

[martinaee]

Good thing we're already talking about micro transactions and how little you notice your money being taken from you...

[Novdalune]

If there's lootboxes in general, I'm not even bothering.

[InlandEmpire]

“I don’t want a red, blue or green not sure I believe you Casey Hudson

[MidlifeCrisisTactical]

The way your character looks is a huge part of gaming, especially RPG's. Finding/earning that loot is equally as important. Players running around in sweet looking cosmetics that can only be obtained by logging out, going to playstation store, using their credit card should be chastised.

I simply did not want a live service game from BioWare. Hard pass for me.

[connorchambers]

I dont really understand why people are insisting that ALL future dlc has to be free. Skyrim was personally my favorite game of all time and I happily paid for all 3 expansions, as did a lot of people. If they (somehow) come out with a polished game, and have a fair amount of free world altering dlc that keeps the base area of exploration updated and changing but also want to add a new area that will also be regularly updated for $20 or something I see no problem with that. And as for cosmetic micro-transactions I already know half of the people that commented saying "meh if this has any micro-transactions im not buying" bought raven and like 20 dance emotes in fortnite lmao.

[Ivbo]

Why not have the cosmetics that you can buy with real money in the loot pool just rare, so that you can technically earn everything in game without spending but if you just want to buy it you can ...
