FC 24 Called Out For Selling Loot Boxes While Removing Ivan Toney Over Gambling

Irsquo;ve been thinking a lot about this recently, and as Irsquo;ve gotten older, the fruitless nature of live-service titles has become more apparent. I think a lot of it comes from becoming a parent. I have less time for games these days, and I donrsquo;t regret a single minute Irsquo;ve spent with my daughter rather than staring at a screen. Irsquo;ve got to be more selective about the games I play with that time, though. The elation of getting promoted is great, and the serotonin boost of winning a battle royale match pushes you through the next four unsuccessful hot drops, but it ultimately pretty meaningless. Choosing to step away from grinding these endless live-service titles this weekend has solidified those thoughts in my mind.

Irsquo;m not too far through Tears of the Kingdom, and yet it still amazes me. Irsquo;m enjoying taking my time with it instead of bingeing every possible side quest like I did Breath of the Wild ndash; again, parenting has changed my gaming habits ndash; but it gives me a feeling that FC and Apex havenrsquo;t in a long time. It a kind of catharsis from finishing a mission or beating a boss, a sense of accomplishment that winning matches against other humans doesnrsquo;t match because you just move onto the next and then the one after and it never ends. Single-player games have an end, and reaching every small summit along the way is gratifying.

The new Zelda game isnrsquo;t perfect, and has some aspects of grinding itself, but Irsquo;ve ignored them and fared okay. FC is barely a functioning game outside of its loot box mode, whereas TotK is rewarding in a hundred different ways. When your Frankensteinian Ultrahand monstrosity actually works, when you dive off a beautiful sky island, when you reach a Temple, when your humble pine cone takes out a Moblin, when a sorry villager earnestly thanks you. Irsquo;m nowhere near facing off against Ganondorf, but I feel great about myself and the story Irsquo;m forging for Link.

I learned a lesson this weekend, one that will stay with me. Irsquo;ll still play live-service games, I enjoy doing so, but sometimes the grind isnrsquo;t worth it. Sometimes yoursquo;re better off playing Zelda or an even cosier game. You donrsquo;t necessarily have to touch grass, but sometimes yoursquo;re better off reading in a hammock stretched six inches above it.

These bets go directly against the FA's betting policy for professional club players. As a result, EA has decided to remove Toney from FC 24 as well. While the eight-month ban by the FA is understandable, some players thought it was pretty rich of EA to remove a player for betting, while the company continues to sell loot boxes to children. EA has long been criticized for its use of its FC Ultimate Team loot boxes, which have continued in FC 24.
