We.... dont want a pink Vader? I'm confused I thought they gave us a pink Vader. Mind you, I haven't touched anything EA since Mass Effect
EA says "We don't push people to spend money in our games"

At the beginning, they thought a pink Darth Vader was too silly. They end up giving one down the line, but excuse they made before saying that it was too hard to do.
And in a sane world, the direct result of screwing over their customers and the general public would be EA's stock price plummeting and them going out of business. Instead, the exact opposite seems to happen.
It's simply because people like us that actually care about the quality of their entertainment and about not being screwed over are a tiny microscopic minority. The ones who can actually vote with their wallet and effect real change by doing so? Those are the same ones who lap up anything EA puts out without caring how much they are being screwed over. Those are the people that EA caters to, not us.
Well, technically, they DON'T push anyone to spend money in their games. They simply offer games with pay-to-win/enjoy mechanics, and if you want to win/enjoy them, you pay. It's a shrewd message, but a true one. A drug dealer doesn't go up to people on the street and insist they partake of their wares; they sit back and let the fiends come to them, repeat customer more than welcome.
That said, both EA and drug dealers are shit people.

I'd more go with the "A Study In Pink" technicality.
"I don't want to kill you, Mr. Holmes! I'm going to talk to you. And then you're going to kill yourself."
Well... that sounds good.
Companies are going to make stupid corporate decisions. You can't stop it, they're just stupid. So, sometimes, its about willingness to fix mistakes. I hope they listen to their fans like they did here.
And yes. You have to listen to the stupid corporate doublespeak. They trying to save face. You have to get used to it
Seeing that picture and it just hit me…Jonah Hill would be perfect to play Bobby K in a movie about all the dirty rotten scoundrels in the VG industry. At least he left Sekiro alone though, so that alone makes him less ass-hatty than EA’s asshat.
Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Halves Pay, Still Rich
Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is voluntarily halving his salary, as well as his target annual bonus. But in case you were worried, he’s still making a ton of money.kotaku.com
Still getting paid way too much but fuck him just the same.
Everybody gets access to the vanilla denial, but the semantics are locked behind a paywall.
I would love for corporations to learn what human beings are. Or how to talk to them. I also too old to think they ever will
Yes, because just not making stupid corporate decisions and instead making smart corporate decisions is SO difficult to do.
These corporations go out of their way to find the stupidest ways of doing things that will royally piss off as many of their customers as possible. It is almost like they WANT to fail.
