In another action deemed, "it's just EA being EA," software publisher Electronic Arts leaves this consumer disappointed in them again. In a PSN flash sale last week, EA reduced the price of Need For Speed Rivals base game to $12, but left their Need for Speed Rivals Complete Edition at the lofty $59.99. It's $12, how could I not buy it at that price?!? So I and many like-minded, budget-conscious consumers paid to add it to our collection.
This week on PSN, there is yet another sale of EA titles. What do we see here? NFS Rivals Complete Edition for $14.99. That is a great deal... a great deal if you didn't just buy the stripped down version for $3 less last week.
If you're into schadenfreude, you love this story so far, so you're welcome. For those who can commiserate with what a terrible hand some of us were dealt by this slap-in-the-face move, thank you.
Who does that? Is some EA CEO just trolling the last remaining customer base? I can just imagine it:
"Let me see the sales data from the PSN sale." ... "~500,000 digital copies of NFS sold! Watch me piss off half-a-million people."
