Didn't they lose those expensive Fifa licenses? Shouldn't it be cheaper on its own?

The sad thing is it is going to be so filled with MTX that it should have been free to play in the first place.

I don't know how anyone could be a gamer these days and not have an exit plan from modern gaming. I suggest everyone get very familiar with games released before 2005 if you aren't already, and start catching up on the amazing things going on in the translation community. Games that I would have never expected to ever see in English are being translated left and right. Try and find a CRT while there are still people giving them away for free and look into how easy it is to mod old consoles now - even a PSX can boot CDRs with only a memory card. A Wii can play everything 16-bit and before with ease on a CRT.

We've saved ourselves billions in dollars by not paying for the license, now it's time for gamers to reap the benefits.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Same price in UK no? £70

I am going with it being them using direct conversion from £70 to other regions (£70 x 1.28 (USD conversion) would be $89), instead of traditional matching numbers we were used to. But it's EA, so we shall see.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

if true, EA can go and eat some shit. I don’t buy their garbage sports games but it’ll have a rolling effect on the rest of the industry when they sell millions of copies of the same pile of ass they sold the year before.

 

[YuLY]

L0L...good luck with that.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

totally worth it.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Day 1.

But there's different leaks saying it will be $70, the guy in the OP converted currency based on the UK price.

 

[gothmog]

I smell record profits!

 

[Davevil]

I don't care....i play tons of hours with FIFA23...i'll play tons of hours EA FC 24 (yes i'm addicted)

 

[Beer Baelly]

 

[kiphalfton]

Fuck off EA!! You greedy pigs!

Plus it will also have microstransactions too.

So yeah, you're totally right.

 

[onnextflix5]

Whoever pays these prices are mugs,

 

[Roni]

Yeah, if you want to educate them. Outside of one in the last 40 years, none even know what really causes inflation.

Not one aid can write a three point list for them?

• Population Increase;
• Fractional Reserve Banking;
• Money Printing;

 

[kiphalfton]

Years of 7-10% inflation, it’s going to affect a lot of things. Write your congressman.

And to think the pay has kept up the pace.

Oh wait...

At this point I'm making less than I made straight out of university (5 years ago and 2 companies ago), adjusting for inflation.

My PC is my exit plan. I have collections of games I've wanted to play, emulation configs ready and backed up to several ways physical and cloud and anything going forward minus Sony exclusives I'm not buying. If Sony tells me their next big one is 80/90 I'm gone and I'll just wait for the port and sell my PS5.

 

[drotahorror]

Not surprised. Game prices are going to go up, Biden rocking the highest inflation rate 3 years in a row since the early 80's. Everything's costing more.

 

[64bitmodels]

nd only buying Nintendo from here on out

you don't have to buy nintendo games yk

 

[StreetsofBeige]

So it'll be $104.99 CDN with currency exchange unless stores purposely bite the bullet dumb it down to $99.99.

(The accurate exchange rate is actually about $106)

Anyway, now americans get to feel the same wallet pain as us europeans, since we've been paying €80 for new game releases since the start of the gen.

 

[Unknown?]

Printing endless money after shutting down local businesses (causing them to go under), putting 10s of thousands out of work, but not shutting down your corporate pals. Wealth grab funneling. Blockading ports and supply chains (oil and otherwise), causing increase in core supply costs. Open borders, etc., etc..

Mainly, printing endless money with no backing devaluing the dollar.

I'll vote for you!

 

[dDoc]

Have only played Dead Space remake from EA. Prior to that nothing for decades.

Keep your footy pinball MTX ridden filth EA, not getting a cent from me.

 

[Jibran#one]

Will play it for 10 hours on gp and then wait for 6 7 months than it comes there for free
Fuck paying 80 dollars for FIFA I payed like 100 dollars for 3 years of gp ultimate.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'll vote for you!

I wouldn't touch our endlessly corrupt political system with a 10-foot pole. That's spirtual suicide.

I admire those who want to fight the uphill battle of change, however.

If you're into Ultimate Team then that's just the entry price.

I know guys who've spend thousands every year on Ultimate Team. It's all they play 365 days a year. One of them went into so much debt that it cost him his marriage.

 

[adamsapple]

Until EA FC '25

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

 

[sinnergy]

And will fly over the counter

 

[mckmas8808]

Make buying games so unattractive that streaming and subs become the better choice. It'll happen, only a matter of when. People are still buying.

Doing this will kill the industry though.

 

[TrebleShot]

I thought this was going F2P

 

[Inuteu]

I thought this was going F2P

I woudnt be surprised if most people spend more with packs than the price of the game itself
