Fookin Veegan

Ello ya buggers how are we all doing this fine, brand new, probably last, bloody year.
oh yea, I'm bloody back and do I have a rant for you, oh yes I do.

Last rant I made you all a promise, to wipe the scum of the earth, the race that's defiling this world, the shitstain on our little blue globe: Vegans... Well I don't do promises so hey, we ranting about games.

so recently I chugged in the ol' playstation 2 (which costs bloody more than buying a new playstation all together) and I discovered a truth that we all know, and most of us accept, but damnit if I can make 2 bloody pounds on an oversaturated topic, you bet ya I'm going to do it.
Recently there has been a lot of controversy and backlash surrounding EA studios for their poor handling of star wars battlefront 2, and rightfully so, the addition of meaningless lootboxes, that add little to nothing to the game, it's a cheap cashgrab from a once great developer.
The business plan is easy; You create a full game, then you cut the game in half, and lock one half behind the season pass or DLC, then you cut off another piece which you call pre-order bonuses. finally you shatter the game in a few pieces which you call the micro-transactions. What you keep is about 1/4th of a game which you pay 65 euro's for. (and increasing) It's already normal to assume this is what games offer, and it's a change if it doesn't, while it should be the other way around.
It feels like this. You go to a football game, and here you buy a hotdog. then they remove the sausage, the ketchup, mayonaise, mustard or whatever the fuck you americans throw on there and leave the bread and charge it full price, it's called football btw, your football is called rugby you incompetent bastards just kidding, 40% of my audience is American which makes for 1 full person so... love you americans.

anyhow, I'm hungry now so cya.
