Australia? Free? Ha! I doubt it.

Just symbolic

Free, but without cheating it's totally impossible to survive past level 10

"Free to play" : has loot boxes you pay for....

Bro, this isn't solely an EA thing anymore.

How is that different than regular earth. You're born on one continent where you don't have to pay but you gotta pay lots of money to go to another one.

There's literally passports that are more valuable because they open you up to more of Europe. And some passports that limit you to only a few countries.

So yeah, better travelling is literally region locked demos and moving somewhere better is pretty expensive DLC.

I get the most deadly creatures and kangaroos for free? No way!

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

No, those are apart of the creatures and gameplay update for A$140

That reminds me more of Paradox if anything :)

Crusader Kings IV: you can still play as the Holy Roman Empire, but now you have to purchase the Holy Expansion Pack for $19.99, the Roman Expansion Pack for $29.99, and the Empire Expansion Pack for $39.99, despite the fact that it's none of those things.

I understand the joke and I agree with the sentiment, but it drives me fucking insane when people put the dollar symbol after the dollar amount.

IMO it is the right way to do it (I know it isn't in the US) You already do it for measurement symbols so why is it before when money is involved
