I guess I don't put so much "ethical value" on a game.
Well that's fine, but ask yourself if SoE thinks of it as "just a game". When SoE introduced the NGE they reminded all of us that this is a business. The more people let themselves think this is just a game gives SoE more and more power to alter the products we buy. That's complacency. You know a similar thing is happening in the NHL, almost every year they change rules in that game it's getting SO ridiculous, I stopped watching the NHL 10 years ago, they keep changing the goal crease size/shape, change instigation and penalty rules, the 2-3 line passing rule, etc. And now it's starting to happen in junior and college hockey. NHL hockey is still a very popular sport today but it has lost some fans like myself and some of my friends.
I'm a big fan of the NFL, only rules that changed in the past 15 years is the 2-point conversion and the both feet in zone when catching the football.
It's just a game but when you keep changing shit, it's going to bring risk in losing potential viewers/customers.
