this is fair. micro transactions obviously make a sizable portion of the revenue stream but i think theyd reach a larger player base with a FtP live service model. more people playing breeds heavier competition and that creates more whales. with EA dropping the FIFA brand i wouldnt be surprised to see a FtP FIFA franchise in the next 3 years
