Ea wants to encourage pre-purchase for need for speed: payback with exclusive graphic effects

Electronic Arts (EA) has been one of the video game companies most criticized by gamers for its abusive practices related to paid DLCs for many years. After having earned their bad name, it seems they want to go a step further by incentivizing the pre-purchase of Need for Speed: Payback with exclusive graphic effects.

Need for Speed: Payback will have exclusive pre-purchase graphic effects

EA does not have enough to cut the content of the games to sneak us then the paid DLCs, now they have come up with the great idea of ​​also cutting the graphics of the games, with it the players who want to enjoy the maximum graphic quality of the games are going to have to go through pre-purchase.

Classic Sega games debut today for iOS and Android for free

Everything indicates that the first affected game is going to be "Need for Speed: Payback", this game will have graphic effects that will not be found in copies sold after the date of its release. The pre-order benefits page indicates the inclusion of additional content in the form of "the platinum car pack", a selection of exclusive cars and "exclusive tire smoke." The latter is related to the graphic effects and reveals that it will be related to the wheels of cars, perhaps in skids.

Hopefully this is not the first step towards a new trend in the world of video games. Players are already being abused by making them pay for content that years ago was free and unlocked by passing the game to you multiple times and in several different modes. Then do not miss those of EA if it is listed as the worst company of the year.
