So is there any proof of Nintendo actually considering giving up paid online, or is it just based around the fact they keep pushing it back? As for EA, their profits probably dropped to shit, at least what they consider shit, due to people blowing up about micro-transactions and SURPRISE!, no one wants games with political bullshit. EA is doing this for their bottom line, and worse they don't need that many people buying their game when most comes from MTX.

That's not how capitalism works. Pay for what you want more of and don't pay for what you don't want to support. "Don't encourage good business practices and things that are good for the consumer because it's just for profit anyway" is a fucking retarded position to hold. No company actually cares beyond profit; that's literally the entire purpose of companies existing. It's a stupid game to try to encourage good business intentions instead of the actual products and practices.

Probably a combination of all of the above. EA in particular realized it can't have whales AND push SJW agenda AND have mass appeal AND retain a hardcore group of consistent players all at once. It really fucked them over good by pushing lootboxes as that is what tipped normalfags off to their shit that we saw happening 10 years ago.

The whole lootboxes as paid gambling thing scared the shit out of them. like the vidya equivalent of the samson option. Once those got regulated, everything else could fully follow suit with unions for devs and a lot of the illicit actions of corps being condoned because vidya is like the wild west of the business industry could be getting looked at, which would be very bad for EA and others.
On top of that, games have been selling a lot less lately, so those scummy tactics that might get the fed crashing down on their heads was the main thing keeping them profitable, that and microtransactions. I don't know about them correcting course though, It might be possible with the constant failures of games selling. As an example, other than doom isn't Fallout & Elder Scrolls the only I.Ps that have been successful for Bethesda the corp in recent memory? Last successful game before that was dishonored 1 I think.

No. That game was never made for 1v1 and its very apparent. Even after the game got reworked to promote offensive play because turtling has been a huge problem from the start, the best strategy in 1v1 is still to play as passive as possible.The entire flow of the game comes to a screeching halt in that mode, making matches boil down to glorified staring contests. 1v1 was a terrible, half-assed mode only there to get brownie points from the soulsbabbies that squealed for one

EA is trying to recover from the biggest PR disaster in the company's history, they're not doing it for any other reason.
The BF2 microtransaction controversy caused at least three governments and one US state to launch investigations into whether lootboxes are a form of gambling. It's rare for a company to fuck up that hard.
