(And yes I was a COH player, I do miss it but life goes on)
I will go straight to my bombs:
First, a DA-Bomb to Black Desert, for still being quite unique even a long time after it's release. I feel the combat in that game is the best i have seen in any MMORPG, with Tera being second. I don't play that much, but do check in for a couple of days to a week every now and then, playing the Russian version (which is free to play).
And an A-Bomb to Troy - We Want Our Bless Online Video! Been waiting forever for that one.
No, seriously! I bet it's going to be awesome.
As for the question of the week:
EA will most definitely go to court in my opinion, if they wanted to settle they would have just disabled loot boxes for Belgium in the first place.
But with Fifa Ultimate Team there is just SO much money at stake, what they want is to win and "show" people that loot boxes are here to stay.
Sadly (for them) i predict they will lose that battle, despite their millions. That's what we should all hope for anyway, so everyone make a wish.
Can't wait for the day when Fifa Ultimate Team packs get banned everywhere and EA's revenue drops by 50%.
Will see you on the next Cast.
Bye.
