Why did EA equate pointless level grinding to "sense of pride and accomplishment"? Ah, the infamous "sense of pride and accomplishment" debacle courtesy of Electronic Arts, the company that somehow manages to make Darth Vader look like a philanthropist. You see, my dear inquirer, EA has always had a unique talent for turning even the most innocent of gaming experiences into a soul-sucking grind-fest. Picture this: You've just spent a good chunk of your hard-earned cash on a shiny new game, and you're eager to dive into a world of adventure and excitement. But wait, what's this? EA has decided that rather than offering you an enjoyable experience, they'll give you the privilege of working a second job within their digital playground. Enter "Star Wars Battlefront II," a game that managed to make the Empire's tyranny seem like a walk in the park. EA's brilliant idea was to lock iconic characters like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker behind a mind-numbing wall of in-game currency, making you either grind for hours on end or empty your wallet to play as your favorite characters. Talk about a sense of "pride and accomplishment," right? It's almost as if EA wanted players to feel like they were part of an intergalactic bureaucracy, where the only way to get ahead was to fill out endless paperwork (in this case, with your credit card information). It was a lesson in corporate avarice that resonated with gamers everywhere, uniting them in a collective eye-roll and disdain for EA's greedy antics. But fear not, for this debacle did have one positive outcome: it became a rallying cry for gamers demanding fairer treatment and a reminder that we should always question when a corporation tries to sell us "pride and accomplishment" while emptying our wallets faster than a Wookiee can tear off arms in the Mos Eisley cantina.
