Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

    Aren’t they extremely popular still…? Highest selling sport series of all-time from what I can see. Certainly not as liked these days though, that’s true.

      Yeah but it took the Hogwarts game like a week to be cracked with the most restrictive denuvo in place. If there’s demand for it someone will crack it.

      They’re popular among a different crowd than those who would go online to talk about video games.

        Yes, after all, the Fifa crowd were more than happy with microtransactions.

        Porting that monetisation policy to Battlefront 2, well, we saw how that turned out.

      Think FIFA’s popularity also stems from FUT, which I guess won’t work with a cracked version. So FIFA’s real DRM is via a popular feature that requires account registration for microtransactions.
