Hey, you guys wanna rage for a bit?

There are more microtransactions in Valve's latest game than on EA's, by a huge margin.

ROUND 1, FIGHT!

Just googled their latest 2 releases to compare. Sims 4: For Rent, a cash-grab low-effort Sims DLC, doesn't have microtransactions while Counterstrike 2 does.

EDIT: Neither does their last full game release, EA Sports WRC. Their upcoming game, F1 24 looks like it's absolutely riddled with mtx though.

You missed one, the last game EA published is Tales of Kenzera: Zau, a single player metroidvania. Also no MTX. So that's what? Three for three?

You can't go too wide here, though, because EA makes so many more games than Valve, so let me reframe it.

EA has released way more games with no games-as-service stuff in them than Valve in the past decade.

ROUND 2...
