When you can give an argument about why EA would give them away for free instead of charging for them like a good profit seeking company should then I'll listen to your morally gray nonsense.

Until then it's all just economics say it's okay to use a tragedy to make profit. :rolleyes:


When did i say all companies should always charge for everything?
I simply explained how charging for something scarce can be beneficial to others, challenged the assumption that its inherently evil or immoral, and recognized the obvious fact that selling things is indeed a service despite your incredulous reaction. (and put forth the idea that someone making a few coins in a video game isnt a big deal)
I already explained why it was a good/nice move twice.

At least you finally admitted you didnt really listen to or understand my posts, and instead reacted emotionally with your jingoism.
You are more concerned with trying to paint people as the bad guy rather than understanding the situation.

"I even said it was a good move. The demand for the badges exceeded what was previously available in the game, and its a nice touch to make them available to everyone."

You explained that it was a good move to make it available to all, not why it was made available to all for free.

At the bolded part, where did I say that you did? I said why would EA choose to give these away for free, instead of charging.

And I've never said that charging for something doesn't benefit someone, I'm saying it's wrong to use a tragedy to drastically inflate prices to take advantage of people's mourning. Despite how much economic sense it makes.

Irv how good is Pogba. Is he worth picking up at ~500k? I'd play him at CAM behind Aguero and Dybala

You start from the position that its morally wrong to make a few coins in a video game selling badges to people who want them and then carry on about it being morally wrong as if you've proved your point.. you haven't.


No I don't. I never said it was morally wrong to make profit while satisfying a demand. I said it's morally wrong to use a tragedy to make an overblown profit.

And it doesn't matter if it's just some silly ingame currency they are making. Whether you steal all the gold in Fort Knox or you scam a shako on D2, both are an immoral act of thievery, even if only one of them is illegal and is much more damaging than the other. It doesn't matter if these guys are just profiting on FIFA coins, what they are doing is immoral, sad and deserves very little respect. If it's FIFA coins, real life currency or Pokémon cards is irrelevant, the shady immoral act is there and I'm glad EA has thwarted their twisted and avaricious scheme by giving everyone free badges and kits.

Whenever I see him he's usually used as false 9 and does really well...

He's boss. But 540k atm. Only paid 480k for mine I think.

Well worth it though, holds the ball up well and has pretty fair passing and a beast long range shot. Also often wins balls higher up the pitch for fast counters and continuously wins the second ball from corners and free kicks.

Not decided on my team still, if I switch back to the 4312 then purple hazard becomes useless. Might try the 41212 wide again, going to see what I get from the rewards tonight to decide what I can afford, the legend prices going through the damn roof again. :/

You know you're up against someone who truly doesn't give a fuck when your opponent has an Atlético badge, and a full Barça team wearing Real Madrid uniforms :LOL:
