The candidate will "own pricing of all content in this free-to-enter game, ensuring we have an optimal pricing and content architecture [and] provide guidance to content teams on in-game content needs to meet player demand.

Not much different than Sims 4's abundance of DLCs, then.

So something like Bethesda's attempt at paid mods but way worse since it's EA. And I'm calling it right now, it'll still look like TS3.

Sure let's just kill the sims (edit: franchise)while we're at it.

Edit: 4 was worse than 3 already so they must be trying at this point.
