Breaking news: business wants to make money. 

 

If the loot crates are only cosmetic and not pay to win then it's absolutely fine as long as you can also buy the cosmetics separately with real money or in game credits. 

Breaking news: You can make money by making good games. You don't need to have MT'scrammed into a game all the time. Other games out there have proven this time and time again, while those that cram them in end up being pushed away or inciting rage from gamers.

It's not fine with folk like myself or others like Jim Sterling. Just make the game and don't shove MT's into it. 

Oh ya I know and good guy Sony are doing exactly like you said so I can't disagree with you there. Very valid point. But I can't hold it against a company like EA having cosmetic means to make money if it means we get the actual game content for free. That's an awesome tradeoff.

 

Battlefront 2 how it launched is the definition of how how not to do it. BF2 now is absolutely perfect. If they launched it with the current system there would have been no backlash and it would have sold millions more. They might even be known as good guy EA but that term is held for a select few who consistently do it right.
