This is a portion of a speech EA CEO John Riccitiello gave at a stockholder's meeting, in which he talks about Microtransactions and how effective they are in getting money from gamers.

For comedic effect, I've added the Emperor's Theme from Star Wars to his talk... it seems appropriate, as EA Bioware is developing the new Star Wars MMORPG (hopefully microtransaction free!)

    John Riccitiello is a filthy piece of shit. Here ya go John, for a 99 cent microtransaction I'll sell you this chapstick. You'll need it for drag sucking farts out a dead goiter stricken pedobears chronic acne infected asshole all these years. Don't let the door hit you in your withered ass on the way out.

    Same here. EA, as well as Activision-Blizzard and Ubisoft (because they were the ones who basically started all that always-online DRM bullshit). Still haven't bought a single game from either of them. Not missing it. There are many companies out there who are actually worth my money. Just look at developers like CDProject, who refuse to put ANY DRM on their games out of respect for the players. Plus free updates and expansions. THIS inspires brand loyalty, profit and actually happy customers.
