More news keeps flooding in, this is from a Reddit post, so take it with a grain of salt:
I’ve posted this elsewhere, but in the interest of fucking EA, keeping them honest, and choosing sides, here’s what’s going on.
Microtransactions WILL be reintroduced (keep pushing, hard, because how so depends on what happens here). There are two options being discussed at the moment:
- Microtransactions will be cosmetic only
- Microtransactions will be used to purchase certain star card + cosmetic bundles, removing the “gambling” aspect from MTs.
Very interesting possible developments. If these changes go live, then I would advocate for purchasing the game to show that this is how we want games to be. Until then, go make more noise about it, so we can hopefully score the first option.
