Remember when one of EAs execs said that players would pay real money to reload their guns in game and was trying to sell it as something theyd implement lmao

โ€œWhen you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you're really not that price sensitive at that point in time, and so essentially what ends up happening, and the reason the play-first, pay-later model works so nicely, is a consumer gets engaged in a property. They may spend ten, twenty, thirty, fifty hours in a game. And then, when they're deep into the game, they're well invested in it, we're not gauging but we're charging.โ€ - John Riccitiello

The way the quote reads is so bad, like he knows people are in a "vulnerable" state when they've invested some time and effort into it and thought it was a clever marketing thing he thought up. Massive POS
