      If you’re paying for a new version every year, is all that different than paying for a service? At the very least, with the yearly release model, you can simply decide not to pay for a year and keep playing the old one.

      While on a side I agree with you, on the other I see everytime people complaining about subscription fatigue and they never, ever would pay a recurring amount for a game.

      So I don’t really have a solution for this lol

    Counterpoint:

    You, and everyone else, should be making enough money right now that a $70 price tag isn’t a problem.

    Wage stagnation makes price increases seem worse than than they should be. Truth is we should all be making enough that a few bucks increase in the price of Netflix or YouTube shouldn’t be something we struggle with.

    So by all means, pile it on at EA, but save some of it for your employer too

    None of those yearly recicled buggy trashy sport games should be 70 or 30 dollars even. Why people still buy that shit?

      Because they like to play those games. Quit gatekeeping others and mind your own shit.
