This is becoming a farce now. EA is treating it like a F2P game, but it costs $60, $80 for the deluxe edition. I get that the DLC is free for this one, so they needed to compensate for the lost season pass sales, but this is ridiculous. Why couldn't they just stick to cosmetic lootboxes? Overwatch has proved you can make plenty of money from cosmetic lootboxes, far more than you'd ever make from a season pass. The Star Wars universe has plenty of cosmetic type stuff to choose from, all the different outfits the heroes wore in each movie, the various stormtrooper armor variants, different alien species you could play as, etc. I'm sure I could come up with a list of at least 200 additional cosmetics to go alongside the cosmetics that are already in Battlefront 2. Imagine how many people would have bought lootboxes to unlock an orange rarity slave Leia costume faster? |
Who can be bothered to pay those damn artists a bunch more money drawing 200 additional skins? Better to pocket that, and just charge for things you don't have spend a bunch of time on, like power boosts and shit.
