        You can spend real-world money on a virtual currency called San Van Bucks, which in turn is used to buy cosmetic items.

        I hate this but if it's just cosmetics and the game price is fair I'll be ok with it. I know the price is going to be a full on AAA release and they will still cram this into it.. but I can hope.

          Are we even surprised anymore? Just don’t buy it.

                  The game is free to play. If cosmetics are the only micro transaction, that’s actually good.

                          I recently saw a documentary that talked about conditions at EA even back in the 90's turns out I never cared for an EA game ever. I cared about the studios making them despite the fact that EA made ridiculously stupid choices.

                              Hazelight Studios has been doing OK under their publishing umbrella.

                                  How is this news? This news the plan all along, they were quite vocal about it. Free to play games are always funded by mtx.

                                  I know this is an unpopular opinion here but I think the game looks dope, having followed development since the beginning. The animations look sick and I’m always there for another skateboarding game. I just won’t buy any skins.

                                    I mean... yeah, that's normally when you add stuff to a game. Especially this stuff.

                                        I played a fair amount of Jedi Fallen Order. Someone said Squadrons below, too, and I agree.

                                        Titanfall 2 is an all-timer.

                                        Split Fiction is sitting at second on the Steam best sellers at the moment. Reviews are sitting at "overwhelmingly positive".

                                        The Command and Conquer remaster was maybe the best contemporary remaster this gen, even before they released the source code.

                                        Oh, and the Dead Space remake. That was great. Should have done better.

                                        Lost in Random? Underrated. Should have done better, too.

                                        I don't know, man. Companies don't make games, people make games, and a LOT of people make games under EA.

                                          The price is nothing, apparently the game is free to play.

                                          It'd be pretty suprising if it didn't have microtransactions.
