EA has come under fire yet again in the gaming community for doing what they do best - scamming their customers.

On June 19th Kerry Hopkins, a vice president at EA, told a UK Parliament committee at a hearing that she has no moral reservations about the gaming company's use of "Loot Boxes," which are products within full-price games that players can purchase for upgrades of different sorts. Loot boxes have even been banned in several countries on the grounds that they constitute as gambling.

Hopkins instead clarified that she prefers to call the Loot Boxes "Surprise Mechanics," which many have been mocking for resembling the absurd logic exemplified in the memes below.
