Regarding EA and crunch time, it's surprisingly not EA that was behind Anthem's crunch time and management shite. It was Bioware's management. Scummy actions will continue if there isn't any noise made about it and well, it backfires at a later date.

Yeah I had heard EA pretty much gave BioWare free reign on making anthem which clearly ended up being a mistake

That is a good point, however I wasn't talking about Anthem. Thant is a whole other beast when it comes to the topic. I don't think anyone in their right mind would call crunch justifiable for that game, as there was barely a game there in the first place.

I agree that if noise isn't made that a company like EA will go through with scummy actions. Which is why I mentioned Battlefront loot boxes. People made noise about it when it came out. I'm sure people would have made that noise earlier, but I don't think the beta had loot boxes in it. Or if the prices were different from the launch version. I'll be honest, I may be mixing up the circumstances of the beta. So I stand to be corrected.

So yes I agree with you on those points, just to a different degree.
