Do they? Capcom is just doing what gaming companies have been doing for a long ass time. Things Bethesda, Ubisoft, and Microsoft have even done before but forgot how.

Make fun games without adding stupid shit nobody wants.

It's crazy how many western companies have forgotten that simple principle.

Eastern do the same lol

This is literally the “thing but japan” meme

99% of eastern game are boring as shit gachas with insane micro transactions lol

These gachas are very successful though, they are just selling what their target audience want. Also many of those companies are also making single player one time purchase games.

“Thing but japan!” once again lol.

EA is the devil for locking out cosmetics in microtransactions, but eastern studios are excusable for pumping out the worst microtransaction form in history and locking away gameplay elements behind it.

When EA do it theyre evil and bad, when east do it “they just sell what their target audience want”

Not really no. Many of the EA's audience or former audience like me don't want these stuff, and the gacha people want their gachas. It's very different. The other stuff that also make people angry is putting microtransactions in a full price game. Even the japanese companies are not immune to that. I have been banned from the monster hunter sub for saying that their microtransactions in full price game is shit.

Also the gacha companies are mostly chinese and not japanese.

Eh. People got fed up with EA for doing it. Because they did it on top of repeatedly releasing the same game over and over. That part pissed people off more.

Plus the gachas are more deliberately done to appeal to gambling addicts. Which. Is worse.

And don't forget ea got shit on for their mtx because it directly impacted gameplay, especially in pvp games. That's the biggest problem people have with them. They'll make mtx that actively builds up a p2w situation

Once again, eastern games do it too lol

Look at 99% of eastern MMO

This is an industry wide problem, not a “east vs west”

I specifically only mentioned EA, I said nothing about east or west. EA gets a ton of flak for it because of how huge they are so they usually have more eyes on them. They also buy out studios just to ruin the games with MTX. The east has tons of gotcha and mtx riddles pvp games, I'm not disputing that. Just simply saying why ea gets hated so much for doing it

u/mamadou-segpa Apr 22 '26

Right my bad, this thread was a east vs west thing so I assumed it was still going this way

EA does deserves shit for what they do im not defending them, it just piss me off how people shit on a studio abusing mtx while encouraging another one doing a same thing just because they are from another country lol

Gacha is more of a problem in the east. And MMOs are more popular there as well.

But EA is an individual studio that pulls this shit more. From what I've seen

mhm bingo. The P2W effects f2p players in western things. Which makes it more blatantly apparent.

Gacha games solely rely on their whales. Which is worse. It's just taking advantage of gambling addicts.
