I might have misremembered the costs, but I recall the prices were around $20 for the base game, $25 for the premium version, and $20 for the premium edition. I’m pretty sure the BF3 premium edition wasn’t $40. Someone should confirm this and let me know if I’m on the right track.
It wouldn't surprise me at all, excuse my French, but EA are just greedy money-seekers!
Since Hardline didn’t do well, it’s likely they increased the cost, though I’m not entirely sure.
It seems everything checks out as I see it. They might have been discounted when you last looked, but prices have stabilized now at a lower point? Either way, it doesn’t bother me much. Given what you receive, $33.50 is reasonable for BF4 Premium. Plus, I’m really pleased with EA these days—they’ve clearly made meaningful improvements in their approach. It’s been a while since they’ve caused any real frustration. Perhaps Ubisoft and WB deserve some credit.
