Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen has qualified his recent statements over microtransactions coming to all EA games. While mobile games are likely to all have microtransactions, due to a free-to-play focus, that does not apply to larger AAA releases.
“I made a statement in the conference along the lines of, ‘we’ll have microtransactions in our games,'” Jorgensen explained. “And the community read that to be ‘all games.’ And that’s really not true.”
Jorgensen pointed to Real Racing 3 as an example of the company’s strategy on microtransactions. As for the non-mobile market, Jorgensen said the company was instead focusing on things like Battlefield Premium, offering players all five of the game’s expansions as well as some bonuses for $50 on top of Battlefield 3‘s retail price.
