What do you guys think? Back when the trailer was out I got really excited for this game. Now I would never buy it. Some of the developers did an AMA on reddit (Here's a LINK). Loot crates have really torn down modern gaming for me lately.

Remember when I said that loot boxes could be our bane for the next few years? Yep.

I'm glad to see EA getting downvoted an ridiculed to hell though. What a piece of shit company. So sad to see them buy Respawn.

The general public that doesn't follow the news will still buy the game. It is not a good idea to get a bad rep with the hardcore gamers though. They are the ones that ultimately are loyal to buying games.

I don't know what's more disgusting, companies competing with eachother to see which one can nickel and dime the consumer the most, or Reddit being the anti-discourse circlejerk it usually is. leaon79sYep. Most of the people bellyaching about these practices are still going to buy the game, just like every other "controversy". Nothing to see here folks.

Lucasarts would never have pulled shit like this.

The people from Factor 5 say they still have copies from Rogue Squadron Wii, that was cancelled. They say it has the best Battle Of Hoth ever made, but they cannot rescue the project unless they get approval from Disney, LucasArts, Nintendo, and probably EA since they are now in bed with the brand. They say the only modern system capable of supporting the game is the Switch because there are lightsaber parts that use motion. So at least we still have a system that can play it. I can only hope, but I doubt EA will let that happen.

EA has now postponed microtransactions until the heat dies down.

Lucasarts would never have pulled shit like this. Now, now. Let's be fair. EA is venturing into uncharted territory here. This is a massive Star Wars battle simulator, with different soldier classes, epic heroes-vs-villains battles, space combat, and more. It's not like they have a successful, previous game to base their work off of or something.

EA took away all the microtransactions. First they lower them 75% and then they took them away entirely. They just left the loop boxes, but without the ability of using real money. The backslash was even featured on mainstrem media like CNN, and in England players denounced it to the congress. My guess is Disney is not liking it, and that they were pressured, too much negativity before the movie.

But they also lowered how much credits you earn accordingly, so getting stuff now is even harder than before. The microtransactions are only temporarily gone. They have said they're coming back.

EA stock taking a dip. Keep an eye on it for a buy if you're feeling optimistic like I am.
