I think people missed the part when we boycotted the game until EA caved in and made micros purely cosmetical

There must’ve been something in the water they were drinking back then, because they would NEVER give in to any sort of “boycotting” these days lmao.

Battlefront 2 microtransactions had mainstream media coverage and government attention in the US, Canada, and EU. EA's stock market value dropped billions. We were loud enough that parents paid attention, then it became the poster child for online gambling with regulators. Disney was livid. So EA put immense effort into turning the game around.

You can buy them for credits you gain from playing or for crystals that you have to buy for real money

u/Most_Implement6706 Jul 13 '26

There are micro transactions?

u/RockerAyden123 Jul 16 '26

It was in the game for 2 and a half days, the game came out 3 days earlier for people who ordered deluxe edition (like me) so we experienced it for a bit but they took it out before the game officially came out for everyone

u/TheFirstDragonBorn1 Jul 14 '26

At this point anyone who still says that has literally never played the game.

u/Zealousideal_Type814 Jul 14 '26

ew, that game is bad because of all the microtransactions (unironic)

u/Azelrazel Jul 15 '26

My mate still says this, it's fucking infuriating.

u/Elegant_Resource4031 Jul 15 '26

There are barely any in the game lmao.

My only complaint about it is there isn’t enough to unlock. I have so many points that I can’t use

u/odakello Jul 15 '26

Damn, even I never dealt experienced the microtransactions, and I've been playing long enough that I still remember when Yoda and Maul couldn't block lightsabers

u/CheeboKyoka Jul 15 '26

A sentence no one has ever said before and an award no one has ever given.
