EA Charges Money for Weapons in Battlefield: Bad Company (and changes mind)

They're charging for weapons in the game. It appears half will be locked and unlockable via microtransactions with EA. You can just buy the Gold edition and get all the weapons at once, but basically to get all the weapons means that the regular version is worthless because EVERYBODY will be Gold edition.

I didn't even mind real ads in Burnout Paradise, even though they took out the only reason half the people played the game- the puzzle-esque crash mode. I figure that it really doesn't bother me until they make me download some update to put new ads up, and I really like Diesel shoes anyway!

Now the charging for content that should be free is total bullshit. I don't hate EA because they're just another company trying to maximize profits, but this just oversteps that boundary by a giant leap.

I really hope nobody buys this bullshit game to shove one down their arrogant throats to have the gaming community say "WE REFUSE TO SUPPORT THIS. GO SELL SOME MORE MADDENS TO RETARDS WHO BUY THE SAME GAME EVERY YEAR AND LEAVE US ALONE."
