You saw where I was going, the delineation that I was trying to make was with something like lootboxes which could house either cosmetic, or gear that was advantageous versus objects that you would normally unlock through playing, and were non-transferable after the fact, so the only way to experience them is to dump money into lootboxes.
With the entry items for something like duskruin are transferable, and that an established in game economy exists, it's not really an apples to apples comparison, as a player can utilize the after market to still perform said event without dishing out cash. With the release of the free simucoins, and the movement of more things through the simucoin shop rather than the ticketing whateveritwascalled, it should level the playing field to let someone attend one of the four annual events? I think that was the intent? I dunno what the prices are like.
The fact that Simu was doing that prior has no bearing on whether or not I think they are more money grubbing than EA. A company exists to make money, but I feel Simu is starting to go overboard and yes, I feel they are surpassing EA. If Simu had millions of customers, you know damn well there'd be just as many, if not more, complaints about them.
The thing is, I don't necessarily disagree with anything Simu or EA does. It is all business and they need money and there are plenty of retards out there to throw tons of cash in there.
