Boycott Begins for Battlefield 3

Gamers are already starting a boycott against EA Battlefield 3 because of how EA is handling the DLC situations.

The gaming community was very upset when they heard that gamers need to pre-order or buy the limited edition of Battlefield 3 to get the Karkand expansion pack. Although, gamers can still purchase the expansion pack separately if they did not pre-order or buy the limited edition Battlefield 3. However, even if you purchase the expansion pack separately, it will still be missing the “Physical Warfare” package that contains the guns and ammunition from the pre-order and limited edition.

Developer DICE and EA has said that the “Physical Warfare” package will not be available after the release. This means that for those gamers that did pre-order and bought the limited edition will get a very huge advantage over the players that just purchase the game without the pre-order shenanigans.

It is one thing to charge your customers a DLC on the first day of launch, but to punish those that did not pre-order your game is a huge dick move.
