    Buy 2, Get 1 Free, buy buy for the full digital price. No, thanks. Like that „sale” for Ubisoft games were so shitty, because it was so easy to find exact same games for much cheaper prices physically.

    Has anyone actually checked the "sale" because from where I'm sitting its no where near and you can get the 3 games elsewhere cheaper.
    EA just being EA 🙄

    Tell me you don't understand marketing, without actually telling me you don't understand marketing
    You nailed it with one!

    Do this for DLC and I'd be interested.

    No thanks

    This is terrible value. Better to wait for a sale on whatever game you're interested.

    You get these games for way less on sale anyway.

    Secondly, some of these will be on EA Access soon. If you have Game Pass, it's pointless to buy EA Games.

    So... Battlefield £90, Wildhearts £90 and lets say you choose Dead Space for 'free' (because it's the cheapest)

    £180 pounds for three games. So you're actually paying £60 for each game.

    And this is supposed to be a sale? Wow, things have escalated quickly haven't they
    My thoughts exactly. They'll probably cost you not far over £60 for all 3 in some sale 12 months from now too

    So they're PRETENDING to have a sale... and on games that are already included with EAPlay/GPU or will be very soon. Bargain laugh

    I'd love Criterion to make another Burnout game instead of the "Need For Seriously Bad Handling" rubbish they've put out since EA ruined them.

    As someone who refuses to pay full price for a video game these sales are stupid and a ripoff and i hate them
    Thank you

    No thanks,the sales of games is still way to much in my opinion. I'll find them cheaper from other sources. Maybe to some gamers these sales are deals but not to me.

    I just want the free game in the buy 2 get 1 free where so I click to claim that?🤣

    how are these sales worse than buying them cheaper in the digital sales?

    not counting online only achievements I'm the games what are actually worth paying those prices?
    if you have easy games on your gamercard dont be a hypocrite and stop others from enjoying the same games

    And the sheep will fall for this.
    It’s the same dirty trick supermarkets pull to get you to buy things/quantities you do not need or want by making it seem like you’re getting a deal when you’re actually spending more than you intended to.

    B2G1 free has always been a marketing scam to claim a “sale.” Coke and Pepsi love this one!
    Buy 2 get 2 is a much better deal on Coke and Pepsi products…

    As for games stuff like this used to happen at places like Toys R Us and they were a great deal as you could legitimately pick multiple new releases or multiple older titles that were already deeply discounted.

    I think Gamestop still does this with pre owned titles, so if you want discs for 3 new titles you do, in theory, save money (so long as you’re playing them) and if you play the fast games first, can sell them back for a portion of what you paid too.

    But digitally for a single publisher? Nah, it’s about the worst possible form of digital sales.
