There's two autocorrect typos in this tweet but both of them ended up working out anyways so this tweet is destiny

@ToastCrust Funny the standard edition with the woman on the cover is exactly 77% the price the deluxe edition with the man on the cover...

@ToastCrust This is probably the greatest thing EA has ever done

@ToastCrust Holy shit if that is on purpose it is brilliant (and still super shady)

@ToastCrust women still getting paid less in 2018 smdh

@ToastCrust They're already tricking them into paying $60 for the normal one

@ToastCrust @Kingdomcub That's pretty much how EA works. They are the crotchety men of the gaming world. I wouldn't be surprised if their executives use words like 'new fangled' & refers to online gaming culture as a fad.

@ToastCrust @xenthyl "If I buy the 80$ one women stop existing right???"

@ToastCrust What's sad is this is actually going to work. A non-0 amount of people will buy the deluxe edition just because the standard edition has a woman on the cover.

@ToastCrust @truongasm Paying 20$ more to own the libs

@ToastCrust I instantly recall back in like 2013 where Bioshock and Last of us were having actual issues putting women on their cover because "research shows guys will consider it less" And I just know your joke post is 100% the reality of the decision there

@ToastCrust Marketing in a nutshell

@ToastCrust

@ToastCrust I can't believe EA is trying to make me buy the game twice to have both the better cover and the deluxe extras.

@ToastCrust @SailorSlob I hope they donate that extra $20 to charity.

@ToastCrust @patbaer "Seriously dude?"

@ToastCrust I highly doubt some laughing maniacal white men made the decision to charge less for a game because there was a female on the cover. Just sayin.

@ToastCrust A fool and his money are soon parted

@ToastCrust I know this post is probably satire, but I am gonna take the bait. Battlefield 1 had different guys on the cover, including a bald woman on the Revolution Edition. So they probably thought putting different characters would be beneficial to distinguish the different versions.

@ToastCrust Some people just actually want the extra's, regardless of cover art
