This is certainly a good amount of money for EA. Microtransactions and live services amount to 1 billion dollars alone. Their mobile division also pulled in millions of dollars of revenue as well.

    I wonder how this compares to VALVE & their  'steam fees' for every marketplace  transaction you do on there  ??

    Ugh, cheers to EA and their lead in breaking their games down and selling it in pieces.

    Well, their logic seems to be working.

    I think Steam is the worst company when it comes to milking customers with micro transactions. Gaben greed knows no bounds. He has become just like Robert Kotick (CEO of Activision). Has no issues screwing customers over in the name of greed.

    I've never payed Steam any micro-transaction fees except for buying the odd trading card.  Are you referring to one of Valves Multiplayer games?

    For those who play Ultimate Team on Fifa, these doesn't seem unreasonable at all.
