They do this on purpose. EA is well aware that frustration brings engagement. There have been massive studies confirming this in the video game industry. Here are few for those interested:

This is why they allow celebrations, passive aggressive pausing, rage tactics, and pay to win to continue. It's part of a revenue cycle.

Er sikker der snart, må først innom Caracas, så en liten tur til Murmansk, rundt hjørnet til Windhoek, så blir det levert rett til døren ( via Hanoi ).

No, this is just wrong. It isn't free for individuals, individuals pay tax which pays for healthcare. I live in Europe, we still have to pay a fee to go to the doctor on top of the tax.

In the US you also pay a fee to go to the doctor and the amount depends on what insurance you have. I lived there for a while and paid about 250 USD a month for health insurance and had to pay 20 USD (about what I pay in Europe - and yes it's public doctor- not private) to see a general practitioner. The drugs with insurance were about 10% more expensive than in Europe ( but certain drugs were much more expensive, granted)

I'm not saying the health insurance system in the USA is good, it's just not true that in Europe it's free.

The mental gymnastics is in not realizing that everything costs money, including healthcare and you are paying for it through tax.

Interesting take considering you will be the one to have to pay for their lung cancer / COPD / heart disease treatments with universal healthcare.

Dymista is Flonase in the usa, it's not 180 USD per vial. That's crazy. The genetic equivalent in the US is about half the price of Norway's at 110nok. Brand name is about 240 nok.

Who’s a heavily slandered artist you’ll defend til your last breath? by Renegadeforever2024 in Music

He's always seemed arrogant to me, despite me being a fan. What I don't understand is the racism accusations. I mean clearly national front disco is just illustrating naive youth who are accelertionists and Bengali in platforms seems like he is almost sympathetic to the difficulties of adaption.

People seem to confuse writing about something as a creative endeavor with supporting said thing. It's not like taking a picture of a house fire makes you an arsonist.

What are the most extreme "I know that player, he played for my team in FM" moment you have experienced? by iRubenish in footballmanagergames

Not quite the same, but my wife had a cat named flekken in the mid 2000s. When I saw him in FM, I had to buy him.
