A recent statement came from Electronic Arts had practically infuriated users PC and Console of half the world, claim that in fact announced the presence in all future games for PC and Console, micro transactions (l 8217; # & equivalent of in-app purchases); This move was also confirmed by the presence of micro transactions in recent Dead Space 3.
After considerable controversy as a result of that statement, EA is racing for cover which has pacified the players of half the world, correcting aiming towards another area of gaming. The CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of software house Blake j. Jorgensen actually, 8217; # & affirmation that has pretty much been around from around the web in a few hours he was referring in fact to all future games dedicated to the mobile platform.
Not that such a course change will involve less users, indeed, given the spread of smartphones and tablets in the world, such a policy will affect a catchment area still broader. The new trend on the part of EA has already seen with the new racing game born from the collaboration with Firemonkeys , Real Racing 3, or even with the new management Simpson Springfield . So get the CFO a new ad that tries to put some light on what will be the future corporate policies:
All of our mobile games will have microtransactions in them, because almost all of our mobile games are going to a world where its play-for-free. We were discussing back-office capabilities inside the company, and how we 8217; # & ve built a platform to really be able to bring our in-house ability to do credit card processing, digital downloads, and manage a world in which there are more and more microtransactions as part of what we offer. -Electronic Arts CFO Blake J. Jorgensen
Such a move is justified by saying that in a landscape like that of mobile gaming, by now the vast majority of titles is free-to-play. No mention of piracy problem then. Also other software house very active in the mobile industry are moving towards this policy, such as Gameloft with some of their titles.
We can then expect in the near future games with micro transactions from EA (and also from other software house): this will mean more games, but with a purchasing system that sometimes reduces the player's fun.
