Let's talk about EA.
Besides being voted the Worst Company in America. (a title it very much deserves) It may not have created oil spills or logged entire forested areas or anything, but it just has its own ways of making people angry out of their minds. In a Game called "Dungeon Keeper Mobile", a mobile version of the classic game from the 90's, EA has shoved as many microtransactions as possible into it in any which way imaginable. In it, you have workers mine out a dungeon for you. simple, right? but it takes several hours or even days to do these tasks unless you float EA a bit of cash. The game's designer, Jeff Skalski, has such perfect logic to justify it as well: Apparently, the game is "designed as a free-to-play title where players can commit time or money towards their play experience, and every piece of content in the game is accessible without having to spend a dime." Fat chance. His logic is so vague it isn't even funny. Good job, Jeff. Really. We're just applauding like crazy over here.
