EA DICE has announced that paid loot boxes are being relegated to in-game rewards while more traditional microtransactions replace them. This is in spite of EA claiming they couldn’t do it this way because of Star Wars canon.
[UPDATE: Apparently the originally reported figures were incorrect. Battlefront II supposedly shipped 7 million, not 9 million, which is still a fuckton and obviously even more sad for poor Electronic Arts. Haha.] Electronic Arts expected Star Wars Battlefront II to have shipped ten million copies by now, and fell short…

We can take this as an admission that Battlefront II held back its rewards to make microtransactions more enticing.

A minor victory as EA runs scared following a major backlash, a disastrous Reddit AMA, and interest from various gambling commissions. But remember… in this world of constantly connected games, the goalposts are always moving, and EA’s show of remorse is but temporary.
This is so much more than a bad mobile game in premium skin. It’s also buggy, unfinished, and mediocre “AAA” garbage to boot! __

The sad sorry saga of Star Wars Battlefront II is constantly shifting and rarely getting better. Here’s a “what’s gone down so far” video. With plenty of angry rambling from myself, of course.
Star Wars Battlefront 2’s beta has raised major concerns about microtransactions and loot boxes. We’re reaching the point where this disease has set in far too deep now.
This might be a series one day. Obviously it would be recorded far better, but this was a test pilot that you might enjoy looking at. Also, here be the Kickstarter mentioned: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manysideddice/lost-artifacts-of-greyghast-a-5e-magic-item-compen/
Fingers crossed we don’t get another Early AAAccess game to rush ahead of The Last Jedi.
