Buying a game for $60 and then seeing ads with it is the ultimate f-you to us as players. It's totally understandable with Free to play games that need the ad revenue to sustain their game but do EA really need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they would also ask for more profits. That is still reasonable, atleast for my case to put ads on F2P games. But that is also debatable.

If I am buying a game worth 60bucks, and then I have to watch ads, let it be a single ad, then that is just a waste of my 60bucks. Yeah, if you are talking about F2P games, I won't argue with that. Because, afterall those games are free. I actually understand what you are trying to say in terms of the cost of the game being enough to cover for the ad money 💵.

Exactly. 60 dollars might be small amount for someone residing in tier1 countries. But , for me that is a huge bunch of money. My whole monthly salary will sum up to $600. So that's a 10% of my salary. Obviously, I will try to find the best deal with that money. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why some people would find it easy to pay such while others find it very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Normally when I buy games from local markets it cost me around $40 per game, and used games are even cheaper. Whereas, buying online is very expensive for me, as I have to pay the full $60. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try joltfun. You can easily convert your BCH into BTC and then can buy from their store. As far as I know, they accept only Bitcoin as cryptocurrency.
